Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Yep, was 93 in town today. Humid as all get out too.

 

The heat index in Knoxville was 122 today

 

You would think they would know the driver that you swapped with had a trailer with them… SMH

 

Unless they find a short 1 day run for me, I will end up with just over 2400 miles for this week...another words, my average daily miles for the week are in the 300's again. They just can't break out of the 300 mile per day routine. And it isn't the Princess' doing, she has been off most of the week and I have had the dispatcher du jure. This time of year, reefer freight should be balls to the wall, but I can't get consistent miles. Plus, the $30 cash I spent last week topping off the reefer fuel at that partial T/A that doesn't take EFS, didn't get reimbursed. I guess I should have driven my 6.8 mpg truck 40 miles out of route to save them $5 in reefer fuel expense.

 

Something is off with reefer freight this year. My company hasnt picked up like we normally do either

 

I hate how our planners give you false hope. 8:20 last night I get the "we project your PTA to be...." message, like they're actually thinking about pre-planning me on a load. It's now almost 7 am and...no preplan has yet to pop up on my screen.

 

May be because of the excessive rain.

 

It's either too much rain, or not enough....

 

Dry van is going swell, at least for me

 

I hope I don't get desperate enough to ever have to pull a dry van again
