    I just came back over. I’m on the east end of the past now and it’s doing a rain snow mix right now at the top and the winds have picked up afterwards. It’s blowing everything across the TA parking lot in North Bend when I stopped To fuel

    Currently loading supposed to t call this load in Pasco and pick up another load of the same kind but delivering a day later and they’re trying to tell me this other guy is sitting here loading. I’m the only #### truck in this facility and they keep insisting he’s there loading… His appointment was 11 o’clock this morning and he’s still not here yet. They think he’s sitting there loading…omg

    Well I happen to run into another one of these so-called drivers who don’t believe in being on time anywhere… and wanting to work part time

    He was supposed to load at 11 AM this morning in Othello Washington with the trailer. I’m supposed to pick up at the drop yard in Pasco my appointment was 1300. I arrived at 12:30. He did not arrive until almost 1400…

    he then shows up with this reefer turned off so the shipper tells him he’s gonna sit there and wait because he wasn’t pretty cool to -10…

    Then the driver happens to tell me that he’s got one hour left on the 70 when he arrived I spoke to him again just shortly before I pull out the lot and he says he’s down to zero now so he sits there on line 4 for the entire time burning his clock it says he won’t be down to the drop yard till tomorrow even though it’s only 50 miles away from the shipper.

    He said he didn’t want to go to the drop yard too early in the morning…

    I am so sick and tired of these people like this and he doesn’t know how to scale and calculate weights either…

    then lastly he tells me when he finds out that I’m gonna be grabbing that trailer from the drop yard to tell me why don’t you just come back up here and get it from here? I did informed him no you need to come down there and drop it. I’m not coming back up here. I’m going down to Pasco to t call this other trailer

    he told the other driver from the other company that was there that he only does 300 miles a day well that would explain why he said he’s picking up nothing but five hours a day for the next several days…

    Whoa, hang on a sec. If this individual (can’t call them a driver) only runs 5 hours a day, how are they out of hours?
