JJ's Place

I was dispatching a driver for 6 weeks and he whined about a two stop load I no longer dispatch him.

JJ has 4 loads in for this week and hoping he gets another load for tonight for a good week lol.

 

The driver you dispatched for is it the one you was just talking about a couple weeks ago?

I take up to 4 trips a week with between 1 and 20 stops on them it is always fun doing this stuff. That is why I would like to get a job driving where I don't have to unload the truck.

 

I don't start whining till it becomes a 5 dropper. lol I'm to overweight now to do popcorn's job, tho it would probably be the best thing for me!!!

 

Yeah he didn't want to do two stops didn't want to deliver in Atlanta, didn't want to drive after dark ....You get the picture lol

 

i took a 4 dropper on the east side one time. i really hated it. but it was the only thing that paid to get to that side.

took an extra load this week, and last week. i really hope this isnt going to be the new norm now. instead of being home tomorrow. i'll be loading for home. instead of 4 loads, it'll be my 5th. and this 4th, was a short hopper, the deadhead getting it was twice the distance though.

 

Don't get me wrong my job is aggravating but it is a decent paying job for now. I have all these stops and I have to tailgate it but some places only get one small box. These are the stops I love but the one's who get the special order windows and I have to maneuver these to the back and help get them off the trailer is fun. A lot of places get a full trailer load and they generally have about 3 or 4 people on the truck helping also. As for the exercise you definitely get that. I looked like I took a shower with my clothes on when I first started now I know how to work it and can stand to lose another 20 pounds or so.

 

so, this load of rails i just delivered, was perfectly centered on the trailer. guy asks about my gauge. i said throw one more on.

good thing both open scales went to close status.

82.000 lbs. instead of adding one, i should have taken one off.

 

...... didn't want to drive after dark ....


Love these guys, park 5 pm in truckstop every day; and we back to regular programming when somebody will ....

him over for 1.30$ per mile.... (fuel surcharge included LOL)

 

yep, i miss the days when trucks actually worked 24/7 and there was parking to be had, ANYWHERE.

 

Anybody remember what sleep is?
