Running with JCT, Part Deux

Ahhh, good ol Golden State Foods. Always interesting to back into.

 

i got lucky last time i was there i was the only truck

 

Lucky you. I had the trailers directly in front of me and a truck on each side. Then five minutes later they left.

 

Well after all the b.s. Involved with the accident and sitting Bob tailed in GA, I finally got something to do last night. A swap for another driver's hometime and a short hop to Lakeland, FL.
Now a pre plan to Lake Wales to Pottsville, PA. Way too much time on it, but freight is really short down in Florida at the moment.

 

Got done with my delivery, went over to A1 Truck wash on Valley Blvd for a quick wash out. Now Esmeralda is getting her a wash over at Slover Truck Wash inside of the Three Sisters Truck Stop.

Of course no load. But whatever. Technically I could use a 34 anyway.

 

Was not able to open the attachement settlement to see what I am to be paid and if all the deductions were reimbursed whatnot. Check my bank account looks like I got shorted about $700 bucks by my estimate.

In other news, was just doing my 10 and plenty ahead of schedule, then get a message to please rescue a load. They say it's in this city gointto that city, do some quick rough trip lplanning, looks like about 80 + miles shorter than my original load would have been for the week. Ask for extra money to do their rescue, they agree then dispatch me. Going to this here other city and delivering to that there other city the miles are about the same as my original trip. Not only that but the load was so tight I had to drive just under 6 hours straight to del ontime. I'm guessing there were two different loads in the area that were going to be late.

Got the call to upgrade to a new truck, still thinking about it real hard...

 

I don't regret upgrading mine

 

Sounds like you really to open the settlement on what you got paid for. Sometimes the Friday message telling you trips glitches and puts one that shouldn't be on there. I'm thinking you thought you got paid for a load this week that was already paid last week(the Friday message glitch) or a load that was scanned didn't make it to the settlement. I find hard to believe that $700 is just missing from your pay.

My iPhone 5 has no problem opening the PDF for the settlements. Even when I had an Android phone, it opened the PDF with no problem.

 

And got me a load picking up in Lemoore going to Grand Rapids, Mi. Haven't been there in a while. And since it picks up at 0130, I will finish a 10 and roll out. Of course it would have nice to know before hand, I could of went ahead went up there, had the time, but now I don't.

 

I had missed the deadline cutoff the previous week so had or should have had 5 trips paying this week. The settlement document is in my username/.pddownload it it is changed to Untitled instead of my username.pdf. Plus it is not a .pdf when I download it. Plus it is only 89kb and tried to open it with various programs, the closest I got was Wordpad and it showed up as a bunch of goobledeegunk. Yeah, it was about 5400 miles and the pay today was in the $1500 range so something is wrong.
