Good night from...

New Boston, MI. Note to self, never again pick up a load at train yard without first having all of the information, like a release number to get out of the yard. Today was messed up, del to Hammond, and then they have me drag a MT to Gary, like they needed another trailer in the yard, then bobtail to Dolton, when I was already about 5 miles from there. Makes so much sense. They could have used the MT where it was, at the Wal-Mart Centerpoint DC.

WalMart...

 

Somewhere just west of Buffalo. Drop in Marcy in the morning. Delayed at Sauder today over 3 hours. Messed up the hours good. Also had to do a MAC 22. What happened to the large open windows at Wal-Mart. Load assignment gave me a 7 hour window. Sent Mac 22 for ETA of 10, got back a msg, no problem.

 

Lancaster...been filling in on Kohls account

 

Fixin to get loaded right now after Celedon pulls out of the door. Last night drop hook, picked up a nice trailer with a flat tire. Truck stop was 1.4 miles down the road where I shut down so sent Mac 55. Road call dude shows up says Swift told him to single the tire out and leave. So today had to drive 92 miles with a bright white rim screaming "Please Give Me a Ticket!!"

Got hold of day time onroad they can't believe it. Sending another tire guy to come put a new tire on as the old tire cannot be repaired.

Lake Charles LA bound for Morrison TN.

 

Looks like stuck in Verona, NY after dropping at Marcy Wal-mart along with a bunch of other Swift trucks. From what I saw, I snagged the last mt there. Plenty of MT's, just all container. Note to self, never, never, NEVER deliver a load to the East coast on a Friday, especially upper NY. So much for that message the other day that I received, it is the holiday time, plenty of freight, means miles and miles and miles. They just now sent a pplan, DH 300 mls in this weather up here to pu at midnight to take 600 miles. Refused. I know that this is a business, but when figure, 600 miles at about 6.3 mpg, 43k lbs, in the mountains down to NC, and fuel at $4/gal, add too the dh miles, and the weather conditions, it just was not worth it. About 45 mins later, received a msg that the system says that I do not even have the hrs to run a load. Then looked at pplan again, and said that it was preloaded trailer, but it had that appt time to pu, and a drop on Sunday with a 18 hour window. lets see if it is sent my way again in morning.

Like a weather report in San Diego, your location never changes.
