Good night from...

i think it one of the smallest pilot i've seen so far

 

the smallest I have been to would be off the 97 in a small town, have to look to see what the town was called

sitting in Phoenix terminal, dont deliver until day after tomorrow and they wont do a tcall, only thing I can do is "local swaps" I was told

 

Duncan, SC at the Pilot.

Got a wonderful load.
All of 600 miles, delivering on Monday.
Ya, 4 days for 600 miles.
The planner's 'special instructions' with the pplan was to pick up the load and deliver on-time.

I'll burn some miles tomorrow, then call my DM to see about a t-call in Memphis (where it delivers) for Saturday morning.
But the planners knew how much time was on the load and even sent that 'special' message, so I'm not too hopeful.

But it does turn into average, what could have been a very good week - since I started with clearing 675 miles on Thursday.

 

I had a date one time, that told me that.

 

New Brumfells, TX. Mac 30, zip, zero, nada, and I was told that right now Laredo is overbooked over 60 loads. Just hope that they are not loads that will be waiting for either Saturday or Sunday

 

after being told I could not get a tcall I get woken up by my quallcom this morning with a special planner message asking if I would tcall my load and take a load to mira loma for them, as I was pre planning they remove it off me in less than 20min from the time it was sent.
If its a load I dont want then it sticks for hours, something I do want always gets removed from me too quickly, I was on the macro 9 screen "new message arrived" removal...

then got a call from a local planner asking if I would swap and deliver a local load, I asked what time and he said now, I said I didnt have hours yet that I keep getting woken up during my SB mode...he then said "ok then you have to sit on your load until tomorrow" love these planners

 

got 2 pre plans, after I deliver tomorrow they want me to drop my MT at the Phoenix terminal and then bobtail to Bellemont for a MT there then run to flagstaff and pick up a heavy purina load, says not to arrive with more than half a tank, right now im at 7/8 so hopefully I will be able to scale this load ok, supposed to be 45732 and the load is going to a target dc in Woodland, ca
I wont burn off a lot of fuel bobtailing 150 miles

 

wolfy.. i've gone in there with 3/4 tank and was fine. there a truckstop right down the freeway from there. you"ll pass it once you get on i-40. beeen a dropnhook when i've picked up there.

 

sitting in some gas station/resteraunt off us 79 in tennessee. was on my way to pilot (fuel stop) in oak grove ky and wouldn't made it. have 23 minutes left and have 53 mile to get there. wasn't for these 2 lane roads, i would've lol. anyways, picked this load up at boonesville ar and dropping it in hopkinsville ky in the morning by 0900. beautiful drive.

 

great seems this truck has an ac issue now, came back out to the truck to idle and cool off after sitting with some drivers for a few hours in the Phoenix heat, now it keeps blowing hot air after a few minutes, if I shut it off and then start it back up its cool again for a few minutes...I dont have time to deal with the shop especially since the drivers I spoke with have been in shop status for a couple days even with minor stuff...
