miles for the week

they didn't take me early but had plenty of parking

 

lol i screwed it all up. i will type it all out when i get home tomorrow. i felt like such a noobie

 

2906 when I drop tomorrow morning. Not bad for regional

 

i am going to save mine or i would have 3100 for this week. gonna drop monday and put the miles on the next check.

 

ok so my story. i went to deliver at lexington warehouse and arrived early. called and was told he would call me back. so he calls back and tells me door 72. i have no idea where this door is. i start driving around the building thinking its like a normal warehouse and i can just see doors and numbers. NOPE. i see a sign pointing me in the correct direction so i go that way. i turn down a street and no numbers so i turn around and keep going down the street and find out it dead ends. so i back up the whole way back. i pull up next to a guy and ask where i need to go and he said building 226. so i get turned around again and find it. so then i start going in the exit door. lol time to back up again. then i finally get in the correct way and the guy next to the spot i needed to be in was stuck in the door so i had to try to back in around him without hitting anything all while 2 more drivers wait for me. then i get almost into the spot and i forgot to open my doors. so i had to pull almost the whole way out again to open the doors and then back in. man it was crappy. seems like every time i get sent to new york i have some sort of issue.

 

Hello, First post, first question so please bear with me, thanks. I've read that its better to go otr for a time if your new and I dont mind that since I'm single, my daughter is 31 and my parents are doing ok. If I saw them once a month or once every 6 weeks that would be fine with me until I got some experience behind the wheel. My question is I am reading that you dont have a DM for regional? If you dont how do you get your loads for regional? Is it the same loads over and over? I know thats dedicated loads but how does regional work then. Yes I know its only a region of the United States but thats what puzzling me.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

 

what do you mean by dm? i have a dispatcher just like otr drivers and i have a home terminal. i get dispatched the same way otr drivers do except i do fewer miles and more loads per day. sometimes i get the same loads but really its a crapshoot. i usually know which places i am going to be headed from where i am at but sometimes he suprises me with something out of the ordinary.

 

DM driver manager. My step sisters fiancee is a truck driver and thats what he calls them.

 

Yes we still have dispatchers on regional. Everything for us is the same as OTR driver except the area in which we run. We normally stay within a certain area. For example the Richfield Wi terminal is my home terminal and I run MN IA OH IL MO WI IN KY and a very small portion of TN (pretty much only to Memphis). Oh and the other thing is we go home pretty much every weekend.

 

Thanks to samurai and EMT3508 thats what I was looking for
