    Not been my best month over on the dry side as well, but it's kinda partially my fault. I haven't been pushing as hard as I normally do, plus, I will be home for a second time this month. Friday was 21 days and I will be home for 3 days after I deliver this load on Monday. I think I will have under 9000 miles for the month, but with the last raise, it's like getting our performance bonus on every load, so why run your guts out. I have actually gotten a little on the lazy side. I think that I have only had 3 or 4 days over 600 miles all month.

    Actually, if I top 400-450 it's a big day. Since the TEMU tablet was installed (with all it's glitches and issues) and the original plan to F with our cruise control (that was later recinded), my overall level of GAFF(give a flying fornication) has dropped and my overall ambition to run my butt of is as low as it has ever been.

    Another shipper I arrive at in Pennsylvania to pick up a preload which turns into nearly 3 hour live load because they have no empties and according to the shipper they’ve emailed CS numerous times this week, asking for empties to which they’ve gotten zero response so now I’ve had to go up to the top and notify senior management about the issue again with the CS reps, ignoring customers… If there’s an Achilles heel problem so to speak in this company, customer service is definitely the week link they seem to have a communication problem thinking they don’t have to communicate with anyone customers or operations

    Only customer I ever remember being like that. Is Purina. Always is supposed to be a drop and hook. But is a live load. One location even once tried to claim another driver who arrived after me getting a door before me. Was because their appointment was before mine.
    Only once Purina actually has a trailer preloaded. Which still caused me to wait. Because their on site scale had me overweight unless I put tandems all the way back.
