JJ's Place

Where's Redding at? I'll just buzz up there and visit with ya'll. lol Sure hope its cooler in NM (yea right!!), which is where I'm heading with my next load. Produce. Whoopee.

I so love being micro micro managed. Got a call when dispatched. High dollar load, must be pon dock, use load locks and blah blah blah. Wonder if they've had lots of problems with this place?

Dang glad I googled this pick up, cause both drvr directions and rting sol sucked. No where in any of them, did it say south on I215. Would have gone the wrong way for sure.

 

Maybe that is why they have had so many problems with them, the drivers are always late.

I hope JJ is feeling better. Does not sound like allot of fun to me.

I am sitting outside Chicago waiting to finish an 8 hour break. I got to all my pickup spots hours early. The first 2 did not hold me up more than an hour each. The third one did not expect me till close to 1500, and I arrived at 1030.
So had to sit here till 1500 waiting, thus I am doing the 8 so I can make it to Columbus on time. I have an appt at International for 0730 in the morning. They already made it a point to let me know that it is a full day service.
Hopefully they will get me a ride back to the terminal.
If not I may get a hotel room near the dealership.
I do not plan to take another load till Friday though. The week has sucked with the restart and service, I do not want to get on a night roll for next week if I can help it.

 

Chromedome, if you dont mind me asking, who do you drive for? and jess, that sounds no fun! i hope he gets better asap! hope all is well with everyone else and be safe!

 

I am driving for Heartland at the moment.
I was going to leave about a month ago. But my dispatcher begged me to stay. Said he would get my miles up.
So far miles are better. But this week will suck due to maintenance issues. Nothing to do about that. They have a recall and we have to get the work done.
I should get some good runs Friday on, and I will be able to run hard till I go home again a week from this Friday.

 

You guys keep hanging in the nw. I'm jealous...already sucked back to PA and NC on the east coast. Just call me the "Candy Man". At least 60 Degress doesn't make the reefer run non-stop. Nothing like doing a Le Manz course in a truck. I guess I need all that practice shifting and fiddling with the Jake.

 

Glad you got that worm out jj. driving sick doesnt sounds fun at all! Glad you and jess are out in full force though now. and do you have any complaints about doing that id to ca to or/wa to id run? besides doing it over and over, aren't they getting you plenty miles? keep it safe! Alex
