Good Night From II

home for my days off, my load to Turlok cut late and dispatch had to call in telling them to get it cut, ended up getting back to the dc at 3am when I should of been back by 1am so didnt get home until after 4.

 

Once I become a mentor I'll no longer be doing dedicated. Not sure, but I think dedicated accounts require all drivers to have a minimum amount of experience, so that would disqualify trainees. They'll need to find another driver to work on the dedicated team before I can get off the truck and get into orientation for training.

 

there are some mentors on dedicated accounts, I have known a few people who trained on a dedicated and then got a spot on the fleet after since they knew the process and stuff. One of the o/o's on my fleet also trains sometimes.

 

That's good to know. With this TJ Maxx dedicated you HAVE to be a team because it is always coast to coast runs, so that wouldn't work for the first 50 hours training time with each student. However, once they qualify for team driving then it would work.

 

11800 35600 32300 = 79700 ... I assume the tandems were all the way forward.

OH heading to GA, then pu and head to upstate NY.

 

finally got a door here at nestle...7 hrs later. see how long it takes to get loaded. have 6 hrs left on 14 lol. need to get it weighed b4 i tcall it.

 

btw...they moved that safety class to tomorrow morning instead of thurs. so gonna take rest of week off. dont know what i'll be doing. doc appt not till sat. morning and need friday to pay bill and other stuff.

 

Pilot in Caddo Mills, TX for 10 before dropping off in Wilmer tomorrow morning, then heading to Lancaster.

 

Sunset, TX. This so called 32K load turned out to be 44K. This is going to kill my mpg all the way to Portland. Either the customer changed the load or CSR was not given the correct weights, like the weight of the racks. Heck, they did not even have the net weight right on the pplan. It is actually 35K. Can not believe that the racks are 2K each.

 

that will be a heavy load, when I picked up a nestle load last week in Modesto it was 47k but no scales heading south on the 99 back to the dc
