KLLM Driving Academy (Lancaster, TX)

Well falling short of my goal again. I have an hour left on my clock. If i was to make it to my fuel stop, that would put me just over 650 miles today. But going to be dealing with the mountains and 50-60 mph in California. I would be over on hours so I will take 617. I was thinking this week would be a low week since I was off until Tuesday. But nope. So far I'm at 3003. Still have 170 miles left to go. Now I'm going to relax until the game comes on. Don't really care for either teams. Much less football. But they will give me something to watch.

 

Well look like im going to be getting in a 34. Can't find any loads out. If my FM can't get a basf load out of here more then likely I be getting a regular load. Not really complaining. This give me sometime to take care of somethings.

Miles for the week
01/30 = 0 (HT)
01/31 = 405
02/01 = 602
02/02 = 319
02/03 = 449
02/04 = 611
02/05 = 617
02/06 = 173
Total = 3176

 

That cali load is starting to back fire on me. My 34 is up and I still don't have a load. Now I'm starting to get a little bit annoyed. I don't like to sit to long. Ready to be rolling.

 

Great billing just dropped another bomb on me. The load I swapped with in VA has not been processed. Due to the fact my bol number I have and the bol number they have don't match. So my dispatcher is trying to get that resolved. Which that means I'm not getting my full miles on this pay check. If it's not one thing it's another. Sigh.

 

I'm so not happy right now. I'm still here in Fontana. I'm not the only driver thats been here since monday. Now I know to try and avoid California like the plague this time of year.

 

Dang those muti stops can be a pain. I got tired relying on my dispatcher. So I emailed the load planner for this region. And you know what happened? I got a 1700 mile load back to Texas. Drop and hook. My dispatcher was just giving me a bag of bs. From now on if he wants to play dumb. He can do that by himself. Just going to jump right over his head. 5 days of sitting is ridiculous.

 

Made it to my first pick up a day early. Was luck nobody else was there. Told to dock in door 3. Took less then 10mins to get loaded. About time I got through LA traffic I was out of hours. So I just went back to the yard. Get up about 630 and started rolling. Make it to my next pick up to be told your appt is at 11pm. Wth? The time I got was for 1pm smh. So now got to do an 8/2 split to make pick up. Then run for about 6 hours. Parking going to be hell. Need to be in jackson Tuesday night. But don't look like that's going to happen.

 

Yes you get it from there doctor. And the load planners are broken up by region.
