Parked Here for the Night

That was as of a few hrs ago. Looks pretty bad...

 

Yep, and for once it was NOT the fault of the trucker. Welder let his torch get into some wood. Hmmm, wonder if he used to drive for SWIFT?????

 

You said it. Its a good coma back from the last week. And I should have a nice check for mothers day.

 

Dispatch called me pissed off that I was taking my time getting to Modesto. I could have busted my ### to get there, done a reset, and been ready to roll tomorrow instead of having very few hours left. Yeah coulda woulda shoulda.

 

Lol. My DM called one time and asked why I was running the load the way I was.
I asked her if she was my preschool teacher ? She said " no, why" i then asked , have I ever been late , " no "
ok then get off my back and don't treat me like a child .

We get along great now. Lol

I have this bad habit of speaking what's on my mind ,

 

That's what I'm saying. Unless I'm late, why ##### about how I'm running it?

I start gaining back hours on Thursday. I don't even need a full reset before I can run again. I try to run without an on road reset whenever possible.

My dispatcher called me and asked if I would have enough hours to at least pick up in Modesto tomorrow. I will. it's going back to El Paso. was to be in town on Thursday but it will just have to be pushed back till friday.

 

I only have taken a reset on the road due to shippers , ####### around and messing #### up.
other wise I just make sure I run a certain amount of hrs a day so I can carry hrs after 8 .
Problem is these companies hire so many people that don't understand how to plan hrs a few days a head of time.
I mean duhhhh. Who the hell wants to sit at a truck stop for 34 hrs ? Not this guy !!!!!!!! Lol

 

I'm just running how I used to run it before the reset provision.

There's been plenty of times I don't do an on road reset because I know that if I have a lot of hours on my clock they're going to want me to run as soon as I get back to El Paso.

 

Tell them to go to an online dictionary and look up the word "appointment."

 

i am early to every place i go
and only do a reset on the road if I want to
even then i get a room
