Greater omaha express ..thread 2.

Talked to the broker yesterday morning and told him I will be there at noon Friday.
Same to dispatch, later in the day I called the broker again and he told me they only receive till 11 and he talked to our dispatch in the morning. Nobody called me all day, that was the point when I called Brent in the afternoon.
There were several points we talked about and I think, we need a conference with dispatch when I'm in Omaha.

Was in contact with the broker all the time and he managed, that they waited for me, was there at 11:36 and they unloaded me fast.
Had a little delay yesterday, was pulled out at the Port of Entry in Colorado, the first time that I got a red light on my PrePass there. 18 minutes later I was rolling again.

Pick up a loaded trailer in Ft. Morgan at one of my favorite companies
I know that the trailer won't be ready till tomorrow morning, but I'm short with hrs anyways. Dropped my empty and told them I will be back in the morning, they don't have to call me (I wouldn't answer the phone anyways in the night because it's on mute).

Will be back in Omaha tomorrow and get a load for ND and MN, was offered a Dallas TX but my hrs I'll get back are not the best. Hope I can get to the tire dealer when back in Omaha next week and get an alignment.
And tires that are round and roll properly. I'm so fed up with these cheap crap tires, if they can't retread them properly, they should look for another job.

 

Running I72 across Illinois and thete is a new Loves at xt 64. It has an honest to goodness I HOP! OMG!!!!! Is the world coming to an end?

 

Maybe take a look at Kwik Kargo out of Mn. they're a small reefer company that might have what you're looking for.

 

Wow! LOL just tell homeland your dispatcher said it was ok I'm sure that will work!

 

Checked in at the shipper this morning and my trailer was loaded
Went down the street to the CAT scale and surprise, 82400 lbs
Back to the shipper to rework the load, cost me 3.5 hrs.
In Omaha on the yard for the night, my load to ND and two drops in MN is ready.

Brad, enjoy a few days off at home, I completely understand your frustration, was the same for me when I started with GO. It took a while till it got better but right now it's not working good. Hope things change soon, it's like last year, it was getting better in April and May.
