JJ's Place

####, it's quiet in here lately.

 

Yup, everyone waiting for JJ to come back on I guess.
I have been posting location info in the "where am I" thread instead the past week. And talking in the Central one some.
I am just ready for a long weekend at home. Tired of the truck.

 

Ahhh, ya'll know JJ. Likes to start something but getting it completed????? lol

At my favorite (pls note sarcasm) meat plant. 1 hr past drop dead and company just notified me that it will be 1030 now. Short of product. On a 2028 mile, 4 drop load, going to places I haven't been to in a while. 1 drop ea in NH and RI and 2 in MA. Personally, wouldn't have minded NOT going there. Oh well.

 

I tend to get to that area every couple of weeks. Sometimes I will be there for several weeks straight. But I never have miles like that on the loads. Mine are 3-5 stops and 300 miles lol. Uses the full 14 hours on no money. Only thing that helps is the 15 bucks per stop.

I am sitting at shipper. Load will not be ready for a while. Got here at 0930 for a 1300 apt.
Looking at 1500 for load to be on. But since if I roll with it I will be late delivering my load home I have to take a 10 here. Then roll with this and grab the other.
I hate wasting most of a day on a 75 mile load I am dropping in Baltimore.
Just so I can get my load out of Baltimore to bring to Erie PA for 10am tomorrow.

 

Hey the fall colors should be great in New England!

 

Sure would have been nice if I could have got my load OT this morning. As it was, it was 1215 b4 I hit the road. Consider myself dang lucky 2b sitting on the shoulder of the entrance ramp to the rest area, east of St Louis. Tomorrow, PA either xt 29 or if enough time, xt 76 I think. Not looking foward to finding places in the New England area.
Fall colors? Are we in that time of year already? lol

 

Oh yea, can't believe that walmart had come down so far in this business, that they now have to advertise. What a shame.

 

when did they ever NOT advertise.

they are the LOW PRICE king. and they have a big smiley to prove it.

 

He means they are advertising for drivers.

Well, I got to Erie but my 14 will be up before empty. But I have to pick up the outbound load.
So I they are checking to see if I can park there. So now I have to take a 10 before I can drive 45 miles home. Fun day, should be home for dinner though.

 

Well have fun at the house CD and enjoy the time off.
