Good night from...

I hope since I will be driving during the night the traffic wont be too bad, depending on the time available after my unload I can just drive over to the lathrop terminal, I think I saw it was 40miles so if I have at least a hour left on my 14 or just a little more then I might just go there, I could always ask the costco if I can park somewhere but not going to get my hopes up on that. I know im ready to get out of where im at, truck is sitting in this hot sun and my AC is still not working right so im sweating, my phone even stopped charging saying its too hot.

 

Laredo ...

 

Johnsons Corner. Was sent the same pplan twice today, wal mart groc dc, 45K and a live load. Turned it down because there was something about it I did not trust, and I think that it was the weight. It was exactly 45,000. Even called in and the TM answered the phone and he was even having doubts about it. Well, when I took this load here, was told know problem getting out. Here I am. Nothing. Received a message back from someone at my terminal about something that I said about the pplan and received a answer, mistake made twice. No idea who sent it.

 

I think the holiday switch has been flipped ... was warned today to stay out of Denver.

 

Wonderful, good to hear about Denver.
I'm at the TA West. I just dropped a load of pallets at Miller/Coors.
No pplan yet, and my home time is set for 7/1 - here, to see my little ones and pick up Luana to ride on the truck.
I was hoping for a couple short runs to hold me over until Sunday or Monday because I can't afford Elitche's until my next check.

As I was getting in so late I called last night to reserve a space here tonight.
Sure glad I did, or I would have had to bobtail over to Walmart from my delivery.

Well worth the ten bucks.
It's nice to have a space waiting for me in a place like this.

 

did u get attitude from a planner today too?....coz i refused a Costco load back to co from slc samething 45000 i didn't trust it either...so i put in comments no thank you....and somebody named letty pops off with "whats that supposed to mean"...im like wtf?...so i replied back....: i am politely declining that particular load at this particular time,thats what it means letty....geez....i could have refused it and cited about 10 things why i didn't want it...from hos to too much time to its a heavy one thru mountains,etc...but i was polite in declining it....i dont get it?.....i dont feel like a "business partner"....

 

because they dont care...

Sitting at the costco lot in Hayward, CA
who knows if I will see a load when I wake up or not or where its going, they tried to stack another load on me yesterday picking up at 8am in San Francisco, glad I turned it down since I didnt even finish at costco until 9:30

also seems like a lot of people are planning home time for the 4th, wonder how many drivers take off this holiday, I know I have my hometime set for the 30th and I decided im going to see my daughters for the 4th and see my youngest ones first 4th, will come back the 5th. If they dont like me taking those many days then ohwell, its been a month since I seen my family.

 

sitting at sumner terminal. got the 2 stops delivered pretty quick. woke up this morning and trailer tire had a flat. so i drove slowly to my 2 stops and limped down to sumner to get fixed. also had a trailer abs light come on yesterday and steering wheel really shakes, so hopefully get it fixed. trailer tire was fixed first.

 

I don't have the VIR button yet. I had received a message that the VIR was coming soon and then another that it was up and running, never really new what it was all about til I sat and watched the media manager movies about it (when they first came in, I clicked on them then left the truck so they would clear out the inbox thing).

OK so completed the 1900 mile run in fine fashion, knocked out the 512 miles and got live unloaded very quickly. Next up is a run from here in Minnesota to Calgary Alberta for Tuesday delivery. Slow and Low that is the Tempo for this load. Should be able to reload right away after the live unload in Calgary on Tuesday morning and shoot down to Spokane for Wednesday morning about 500 some odd miles making a nice 3500 mile week.

Loveland, CO.

So far staying busy.
I had 2 short loads today, up to Cheyenne and back to Denver area from the Lowe's DC.
On the way back I got a pplan to South Jordan, UT, but it was taken off me as I was trying to figure if I had the hours to do it.

A bit later I get a message to head to the Walmart DC in Loveland to help out with some regional loads, to keep me busy for the weekend.

I'd like to start my home time on the first and return on the 4th. I figure there may be plenty of t-called loads at the terminal on that day.
