    been to Wallingford quite a few times, cool guys. haven't been to Jarratt in a long time, I was wondering if we even went there anymore, the docks (1 & 2) suck, but everyone there is awesome.

    I'm dragging LVL's to University Park, IL for Monday, so maybe we'll cross paths in Gary.

    Made it home. Was bumping my 70 all week. Thursday I was in Ghent Ky picking up a trailer headed for Georgia! The wrong way.
    Just noticed I never got my detention pay for the 14 hrs I spent at Logan Aluminum....I will definitely make a call on Monday!!!!!

    I rarely bother with detention pay, I just get a 10 in and haul butt ASAP.

    I am not going to pass up on money that they owe me. My time is more valuable than that!:biggrin_25513:

    Ya never know. I got truck 27201. Probably get a load out of Gary(USS) or Portage. Possibly the tin mill, but not usually. Not due for a service or anything so I might just pass up the yard other than to grab a shower and some bungees.

    if there's no other option but sit, then yup...gimme my money.
    BUT, if I can get a 10, haul on down the road and get another run in for the week....there's no question.

    I had no choice but to sit....so I put in for my detention and should receive it....14 hrs is silly.

    Always put in for detention pay. even if its just after the 3 hour mark. Once you do put in for detention pay, its official, on the books, that this particular customer made you wait, so when Maverick goes to the customer and asks for a higher rate when we haul their freight, its justified.

    Time is money. I dont care if its 2 minutes after my 3 hour mark. I put in for detention. If the wheels aren't turning, Maverick and I are losing money.

    Leaving out 2morrow am for del in Marion, In

    Welcome to all the new hires. Be safe

    Got the inverter back from Cobra! They sent me a brand new one. I am going up now to put it in and make sure it works. I really missed it!

    thats why i left dude......maverick is full of nonsense like that doing stupid stuff plus not getting any miles was a killer.....there are a select few who get the miles and then there were the rest of us you will find out for yourself when you are only bringing home 600-800 dollars a week.....there is hardly anybody left that started when i did and its all the same story..........no miles
