Now how did I know you’d catch that?

 

And you just inadvertently described, in a nutshell, why forced dispatch is the norm for most company drivers. If we all got to pick our loads, some freight would never get picked up or delivered. I mean who in their right mind would take that Scientific Games Alpharetta load if they could say no to it?

I just did my first load to Florida. Jacksonville sucks but it wasn't as bad as some places I've been. I'm enroute to Houston now. First time I've ever run I10/I12. Can't really say I've missed much. It's kinda funny how many cities and small towns along this particular interstate has songs written about them, though.

 

BAHAHAHAHA! My trainer dropped me off in Ellenboro for some home time while he had a load of beer going to Elkton. He asked me about this road and I told him to stay far away from it in a truck. He ended up running across 68 instead, which as we know also sucks but it sure beats 33! Absolutely beautiful country, but not fun in anything with more than 6 wheels. When they finally get US48 finished you can run it from exit 99 on 79 in Weston over to Strasburg, VA.

I know right where that place is that you delivered those Gators to. I'm surprised I haven't gotten that load yet.

 

You never will, it's close to your home. LOL

 

Yeah the closest they ever get me to home is that place up in Smithfield, PA. They like sending me there and I don't mind it even if they do take a minute to load you.

 

I got close to it a lot also, I stayed only a few miles off 294 when I was home, but it was always close to home at 60 miles an hour.

Once I had time to meet family for breakfast, the rest just didn't have the time to stop.

 

Also, that toll booth gate I was telling you about.... went thru there this morning on my way to pick up a load, they put a spring on it!!

########, didn't they know snapping that thing off was the most fun I have anymore????
