    No work today, called Central dispatch hoping for a linehaul run to be available, but nothing... another 4 day weekend.

    Oh F that we have some town square places I’m not a fan. Thank God we exclusively run 28’ its one of the reasons I’m able to stay sane. Yeah today was brutal and awful. Everything about it was balls. Way to long, load was heavy and loaded pretty mediocre, 160 miles, the routing was out of order. Our routes were so heavy and backwards that guys who were done early were being asked to go out again and help the single drivers who weren’t doubled up.

    I had a helper today, but the logistics of the route still made it a 12 hour day. Glad the year was ended on a hard note.

    I wound up running 350 miles myself on a 9 stop run that took almost 13 hours.

    One was a 5 skid fingerprint inside delivery at a beauty supply store that took 2 hours, so it’s at least good to get rid of that on a day without much else to do.

    Just what we need. More garbage freight going to garbage locations. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, no milk run last night due to the entire area being snowbound. I moved to Arizona to get away from this white crap...
