American Trucker

 

Just got off the phone with dispatch, load going to TX/NM (i dont know how many stops) he says he doesnt think i have to leave until sunday .

Load and paper work isnt ready so he's going to call back when he finds out where im going. My guess is maybe it starts in Dallas fortworth area maybe.... or something like that. Fingers crossed for 2 stops

got a 13 stop load starts in Lubbock, TX and ends in Alburquque, NM Doesnt start dropping until tuesday they are closed monday...


So i'm in Waco, GA makeing it a easy 3 day run out there instead of a 2 day trip and hopeing for no issues.

Got up early...and drove 640ish miles to Tyler, TX. Had a quick fuel stop on the way in MS, BRAND NEW PUMPS at this loves and i STILL had to go in and have them start the #### thing!

Anyway decent pilot here, big building, clean looking, not allot of parking but not to bad though.


A driver tried to do a pull through.....yea he didnt make it made it about halfway in then hit the trailer of the truck next to him, and he just couldnt figure out how to back straight out, after makeing more damage trying to back out he got the other driver to pull forward a little bit so he could get all the way in IDIOT

Then i watched a Knight driver spend 30 minutes attempting to back into no less then 10 differant spots, 4 of which had so much room he could have pulled up straight in front of it and then gone another 300 feet forward then backed straight in, he finally gave up and left . If he had stayed still long enough for me to get out i would have helped him back in.


Anyway then this B&#^h was walking around the truck stop.....female dog . Anyhoo so after 10 min of not finding anyone to give her food, she decided to take a nap in the middle of the truck stop:











The dog just layed there, she didnt even look up when a person or a truck went by her. Thats the corner of the truck stop to, so everyone had to swing truck and trailer around her to as well as all the trucks lol


i got 7 hours and 15 min left to go and 1 fuel stop on the way to get to my 1st stop.

made it 400+ miles to lubbock, TX got my 1st stop off today a day early, the next stop isnt even open on mondays

tomorrows going to be a sheety day, i have 7 stops that HAVE to be done, because between stop 8 and 9 is a 4.5 HOUR drive, so provided i can have all 7 for tomorrow done by 5pm and be rolling towards NM, i will have JUST enough time to get there do a 10 and then get wensdays stops off.
