    Hunner, when you find out where you're going, call ahead and make an appointment with KW. You might get out faster.

    El Paso, looks like at least through tonight. Found a Vietnamese restaurant on my first delivery about 4 miles from here. Looks like phó for dinner tonight. Yum.

    Eaton,OH at TA. Three 600 mile days in a row, I'm going to sleep good tonight. Have 9am live unload in Columbus tomorrow. Have a feeling its gonna be one of those annoying slow places with lumpers that think it should take them 4 hours to unload what it took the shipper 15 minutes to put onto the truck.

    Hammy, you might have to bug them about it. I think Memphis is doing good on freight right now, so it shouldn't be any problem. Just have to put your elbows out so you don't slip through the cracks.

    Dropped a load off here earlier and am also gonna pick one up here in the am headed towards Dallas Tx.
    Just a short 350 mile run, but it'll be on this week's check which I already have 3k miles on =D

    That's 2 roughly 3,300ish mile checks in a row!

    Yeah I thought so too, I hollered out Hunnerbunner on the CB just in case hehe.

    Out of adjustment perhaps?

    Just got the exciting message that elogs are on the way!! (in my best Mrs Doubtfire accent)



    Rattle the cages like everyone has said and vector for Edwardsville.

    Where can I get some of that? lol

    To add insult to injury, all that 65 miles per hour into 50 miles per hour headwinds was for naught; they have now rescheduled the load with enough time I could get there at 45 miles per hour/8 MPG. TA down the street from Sin City's Strip.

    Ok how hard can it be to get rid of 44,000 pounds of flour?? Told to take it back to shipper and I am now here. Now no one knows what's going on???

    All I want is them to release me from this load as I am tired of it now! Got a Pplan that sends me where I want to go but got to get rid of this stinkin flour first!! 44,000 pound cake anyone?

    So far load rejected, Got stuck on a 15% grade and flour tried to pull me back down the hill..:biggrin_25519: Two deer at different times run out in front of me almost got em. Small little curvy and hilly roads for 250 miles and I had to make this trip twice. And now I am still stuck like Chuck trying to ditch the flour in Arkansas,,,,

    Do I get paid anything why they sit and make up there minds what they want to do with this load? As of now 15 hours and counting just sitting waiting...

    Spending the night in a dirt parking lot in the middle of Arkansas.

    Currently getting my hazmat unloaded in Area 51 Nevada, had a preplan last night going to Lost Angeles but couldn't do it because it delivered before this one did and cannot be in two places at once. Don't the planners see that?Anyway I expect to be here about 24 hours for turning that load down as unofficial punishment. Supposed to be home today....
