Yeah people involved in trucking at all levels seem to be moody as ####.

As for shipping and receiving people, I can totally understand. Back in my early 20s I worked as a security guard at a coal mine in southern West Virginia and I learned first-hand what a pain in the ### truck drivers can be to deal with. That probably has a lot to do with how I approach these folks now that I'm on the other side of that window.

 

Right, amazes me too. Those drivers don’t understand that we’re piloting instant death in the wrong situation. Problem with that is, one never knows when that situation will pop up. For the new drivers out there, never ever let someone push you,,,,, unless you’re in a snow bank.

 

To address a point @keen98 made, I’ve been running 450 to 500 mile runs all week. Will end up with 3000k miles this week. Bonus. Yep, you work but what the hell else ya goona do on the road? We don’t have a Mustang Ranch E of the MS.

 

If any of you guys and gals will be in Richfield Wed or Thu of this week, let me know. Dinner on me at Briscoe Co. I have an eye doc appt on Thu morning so hit me up. Um wait, that’s limited to one person,,,,,I know you guys. Hahaha,,,,

 

Well hell I'll see what i can do I need to get up thru richfield soon anyway to see what i have to choose from in this class. After this last student, I'm meeting everyone face to face before they get in my truck lol

 

Same here. I haven't even really been pushing it that hard and assuming I can get this load 40 miles down the road to AL George tomorrow, I should have around 3200-3300 miles this week. And that is with Pat as my dispatcher and it seems that he's not too popular and I'm not even sure if I'm popular with him.

Speaking of AL George: My appointment isn't until 10 tomorrow. What are the chances of me getting in there a couple of hours early?

 

I just give em the old "Keep your panties on, Sir and I'll be out of your way in a minute. Sorry if my slow truck is causing you to miss your child support or alimony payment!"

Or "Your date will be there when you get there and he'll probably still be hard!"

Making friends everywhere I go.

 

If you are talking about Binghamton I'd say pretty good.

 

Man I was trying to figure out who/wher Alabama Georgia was lol Forgot bout Binghamton lol
