LC Transportation

Well, as I mentioned in my post to MacroGuy, there has been a little change for me at LC (and I am thrilled!!!!!)

Recently, we began hauling some UPS Freight and I was lucky enough to be chosen to be a part of that team a few weeks in.

This is my first week of doing it, and so far, I couldn't be happier. Mostly it is drop and hook, but I have had to do 2 live loads (which was no biggie). Anyway you want to dress it, it beats being at the mercy of a lumper.

The loads are light and so far, I have dropped every trailer once I reached my destination. Been to SC, Cleveland and Chicago already. But you know what? The delivery times have been quite reasonable, and everyone I have dealt with so far was very pleasant. And just like everything else, you can run legal and still make a good paycheck.

Not really sure what the holiday weekend will hold for me, but I am fine with getting some sleep and watching these DVD's that have taken up residence in the truck.

Life is good......


Happy ARF!

 

Man that is phenomenal! 8 more days!!!! Good luck. Let me know if there is anything else I can do or answer.

OK, so here is an update. Thought I would give it a solid week before I passed complete judgement on the UPS gig.

I absolutely LOVE IT!

A few things were a little weird, like the car blocking the road at 4am Saturday morning on Central Avenue in Chicago, Birds with inverted tails, and a rat standing in the middle of I-35 staring at me as I drove over him (I didn't hit him, I stradled him). Reminded me of the "Last Act of Defiance" poster.

In one week's time, I went from Mount Airy, to Charlotte, to SC, to Cleveland, to Chicago, to Memphis, to Eagle Pass, TX, and I am back in Memphis, pulling a 34 before delivering near Paducah tomorrow. So in the last 7 days, I have racked up 3383 payable miles. And it has been an easy drive as far as the time constraints go. Not to mention that it is primarily Drop and Hook, which makes it all that much better.

Really tickled with the new assignment.

Smilin' ARF

 

53'. Back up, "click", take off....... (ok, so you have to hook up the hoses, raise the gear, and pre-trip).

Naw, not interested in pulling doubles..... they can get you into trouble <grin>

 

Good luck tomorrow Buddy..... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!!!

 

Well?
Well?
Well?

 

Hey y'all

Wondering if I could ask a favor......

My niece is getting married Saturday, June 12th at 2pm in PA. Unfortunately, I am going to be on the road and will be unable to attend.

My favor is this..... If you read this, and you happen to think about it, on Saturday at 2:45 pm EST, could you sound your airhorn for 2 seconds in Jennie and Cory's honor?

I sure would appreciate it!!!!!

Thanks!
