My Experience with Lone Star Transportation

Yah, wow. I hope it stays "warmer" while i'm up there. I only have 3 tire chains onboard... and I don't even think I remember how to chain anymore! lol

On a side note... I just did my stats for Jan and I ended up with 9504 miles. I gauge my stats on paycheck cycles... so since this Edmonton load most likely won't be on the paycheck for the 10th (don't know if my trippak will reach HQ before the cutoff from Edmonton) I set it as my first load in Feb. But, if its on there I end up with 11,827. In any case, even with 9,504... that, to me, is not bad considering my first 8 days were spent on loading and permitting issues... and the time of year.

 

Well let me know when you get up here. If I'm around and you have time we can grab some grub if you want.

 

Do you guys get payed extra to go to Canada?

 

they should get paid xtra , for the priviledge to come to our great country

 

Heading to La Cygne, KS to deliver tomorrow with some catalyst floor. Just avoided having to sit all weekend as it was scheduled for a Monday delivery, but since I'll be there before 1300, they'll unload me.

Some pics of this load:

 

I never mind going to Ontario west, but keep me out of Quebec!

 

###### keep forgetting the pictures, this weekend I will since I'll be sitting waiting to deliver on Monday at the port anyway.

 

We don't get paid to go to canada, no. Just another run up there but it seems few of us actually go. Many don't like going up there but I don't mind. I speak broken french so it gives me a chance to work on it... and I think the Canadian public is much better than our own towards the industry. Just an outsider perspective.

I ended up getting through home last night and opted to get a 34 after I saw I would be in violation without a break in 16 days by the time I cross in Canada. I woke up this morning with some stomach bug or something and slept much of the day... missing several calls from my DM. I guess Kilgore was up in arms because I wasn't moving for the Tuesday delivery I said I could make... but ironically with this reset I could get up there faster than if I were moving under the 6-8 hours a day I would pick up until then.. so why their up in arms I dunno.

AZS.. pics bro! You suck at documentation. lol. We did epically fail at our BBQ though... I had that pic I took of our spread but I can't seem to find it anywhere.. musta lost it when I cracked the face of my phone 2 weeks ago.

 

lol yes I do!

 

Having a PM done in Olathe. Then I get to go to Decatur for a Monday pickup and deliver in Houston.

I have home time coming up next Friday. I have to make Mardi Gras!
