Good Night From II

Thanks Frank.

Too late to help me though, as I do not check the forum in the morning.
But I did get there.
I looked over and saw a no truck sign so I went in the truck entrance. I ended up parking next to the building .
Not recommended, and as I was walking in I saw where the other trucks were parking. Luckily they did not tow or have me ticketed.

 

Pilot in grand junction co.. went and fueled up at the loves b4 coming here.
Had a shower credit and don't remember how long it stay a on the rewards card.
Called dl to see if I can drop this load today since I am only a mile away and he said no. Even though it's a drop n hook.. they go by appt. Time
My pre plan is in fruita co 5 miles away and it can be picked up between 9am today to 0715 tomorrow.
This load appt. Time is 0500.
Pre plan has to be in slc by 1200 tomorrow.
Then gonna take truck to slc term shop and have them look at truck to see why I am getting so many critical events.
Lady in safety sent me a message saying she saw I have 7 and she thinks 2 are valid. I think only one is. She says it might be a bad sensor.
Also truck jumps into neutral. Only happens when cruise is on.

 

TA at Wheeler Ridge, CA.

A day was added to my next load, so I'm doing a 34 here to get back full hours. Maybe I'll get some longer loads with a full clock.
I pick up at P&G in Oxnard, then to Costco's in Fremont and Sunnyvale on Sunday morning.


This morning I told my DM (of over 7 years) that I needed to transfer to the Inver Grove terminal. He is not happy about it, but he understands my reason.
I'm not happy about it either - stupid CA.

And I think, stupid Knight as well. The other reason is that I've been confined to the far western states since around the first of the year. I think it has something to do with the Knight merger, keeping me in the region of my home terminal. I have not been east of CO unless it was getting me home in MN, then right back west I go.
I feel like a prisoner.

I accepted a pplan this morning that was going to WY. It was removed a few minutes later - after I had accepted it. It had been sent many hours earlier during the night. It was around 0530 when I accepted it, so I doubt the customer bugged out. It was simply removed.
Another pplan going to CO was removed minutes after sending it.
Then a third that kept me in CA, and that one stuck.
It is driving me nuts.

My next home time is around the 20th of this month. The first thing I'll be doing is talking to the Inver Grove people about getting me in there.
If I am being kept in my home terminal region, I would rather it be the central region.

 

Another advantage of moving to an eastern (or central) terminal is that you will get hours back sooner if you don’t restart. If you run out of your 70 hours in CA and your terminal is there as well you have to wait till midnight to get hours back. If your new terminal is IGH then you will get hours back at 22:00.

Might not seem like a big deal but it can really make a difference. Especially around home time.

 

When I get hours back makes no difference. I start my morning at about the same time.

It will NEVER be at midnight or 0200 or 2200.
That is my time to be sleeping.

My hours do not control me - I control my hours!

 

Knew this response was coming ha ha.
