Heyl Journey with xlsdraw

All that nasty moisture that was supposed to slam us last night never showed up. Yay! Just the wind and cold temps. I made it to the Hucks in Mt Vernon, Illinois.

 

Camped at the rest area at Sycamore, Georgia. Almost home. Deliver 05:00 Friday in Lakeland and then begin home time. I Am Ready! Go Gators!

 

At Public in Lakeland getting offloaded. Went thru my settlements at home last night and my 1st 50 days worked I only averaged 401 paid miles per day. 99% due to being held back by scheduling. Not acceptable for how I am willing and desire to run. Will address it in more detail with the company at the conclusion of this load.

 

I appreciate the responses which verify that every driver has their own individual needs/preferences. This company will suit many to a T. Did have the conversation this morning in person with the appropriate person in Florida. He will check with the mother ship and see i if anything can be done.

 

Exactly how I view things.

 

On the positive side, the way I have been run so far, would allow a driver to setup running when they prefer to run. If you want to run 05:00 or 06:00 to 16:00 or so, should be very possible most loads. Everyone has been reasonably friendly and helpful so far. There has been no external pressure. Equipment is ok. Shop jumps on your truck quickly. Shoot, I got back to the yard this morning after delivering. I had called the shop earlier in the week letting them know I was coming home so they could get the truck into a dealer for repairs they don't do at Heyl. I got to the yard and walked inside and had the meeting with the Lakeland guy. I come back out and my truck is Gone. They must have saw me come in the gate and snatched it. I had to go into the Detroit dealer in Brandon to get my stuff I needed out of the truck. Actually there are a lot of positives at Heyl. I just haven't got the one thing I Must have. I may be one of the few drivers that recommends every company I have worked for. I have not worked for a truly bad company.
