Millis OTR journal

From what I’ve seen of the new trailers they do look nice and practical. Duals and no tails are a huge plus in my mind.

 

That's definitely the upside. Plus I like the toned-down graphics. Now if they'd just get a graphics designer that knows wtf they're doing to come up with an MTI advertisement for the skirts that doesn't look like a middle school kid made it with MS Paint.

 

What happened?

 

Same thing that always happens when he is weekend dispatch and I'm trying to get home. I'm due home in WV Tuesday. I pick up the new trailer in Lafayette and I'm told to deadhead to Pontoon Beach and pick up a load that delivers across the street at Dial. Kinda strange but okay. Shouldn't be too hard for them to get me home from there. So I get out here, deliver the Dial load, hook up to an empty and send in my empty call. Couple minutes later load info comes in. Load is at Dial. Delivers in Waxahatchie, TX. Uhh... That ain't gonna work. So I tell them "I'm due home Tuesday how's that supposed to work?" So they pull me off the load and haven't given me anything else because they're too lazy to figure out how to o get driver's home. I'm almost willing to bet that there's a Conagra load sitting in St. Elmo that's going to some Walmart DC toward home that I can either deliver, or drop in Trenton.

This kind of thing is happening almost every time I'm due home. I put in my home time request for Tuesday instead of a Monday to try to keep weekend dispatch from ####ing me and they're managing to #### me anyhow.

 

Took a 34 over the weekend, delivered my 11 AM appt. and got "no loads right now. You're on the list". Been parked all day.

 

Where you at?

Gremlin was it you that went to C & D Leach on Nassau St in Rochester? You go under a bridge marked 12'8" but is actually high enough?

If it was you, anything special I need to know?

 

That was Keen, I believe.

 

No rubber dock bumpers on them. The new trailers are Wabash instead of Great Dane.
