    And that right there makes perfect sense.

    Did the other driver belong to you your DM as well? And he gave him the easy miles from the truckstop Tcall? He might have had his reasons like that driver is loster than lost and no clue so he's trying to build his confidence. It is an honorable thing that you do.

    i don't know who it went to, I was told to stick the bl in the back, and leave the trailer.

    just got told i'm tcalling this in gary. Cuts alot of miles off it for me, but atleast whoever gets it will have some money to make on it. I'm just glad to get rid of this nightmare load.

    Hopefully you'll get something a little more reasonable. All of us get called in on a "do me a favor" load occasionally.

    I'm interested in seeing how this plays out though... It would be great if it is just a "do me a favor" load, or his DM actually thinking it's a good run for him..

    Robert... Please open a thread, or keep posting here what happens from here on out! I'm interested in knowing how it goes!

    I wanna find out what happened to the SUV. Robert you need to call one of us on the phone to get an interpretation of what's going on. You sound a little paranoid.

    You got trained by a dummy.

    I am still with my same DM, same fleet manager. The FM is the developemental FM. I've been here almost 11 months.

    BTW Gary has a habit of handing you a local load to get you an empty. Take it and get the FO of Gary.

    PM me your number if you want. I am sitting for another hour or so.

    I t-called it in gary. Got a load from costco in morris il, to columbus ohio, unfortunatly it is way heavy, and I couldnt get weight ok with tandums. I had to move my fifth wheel for the first time ever, which took some trial and error, but after an extremely long time of weight, shift weights, wait in line for scale again. I finally got ou tof there, Now I am rrunning about an hour late, so I'm going to do my best to make it up, but i'll have to send a macro 22 in the morning anyway, I know this isn't looking good on me. I'm really ready to get some runs that I don't have to be babied threw, so I can start looking decent out here.

    It's only your 2nd week solo...quit being so self critical...everyone makes mistakes, and your DM expects some to happen to every new driver. the weight issue isn't something you are being babied with...it happens all the time....you took the time to clear the problem and get it legal to move...right thing again. I would think your DM is actually seeing some good things in you!
