    Boy, they're pushing fuel solutions close to empty with these high fuel prices. My final fuel stop was Pontoon Beach on this load, 131 gallons.

    Lincoln should find the driver and route him/her back to drop off the paperwork...without pay.

    a good head wind and we might not make it. Did you hit the yellow light low?

    I hate being stuck on recaps. Every load I've done last 5 days have been under 700.

    After I dropped at that Walmart I posted about it was 8pm. Next load they gave me was a 8am live at Tyson just 40 miles away. Tyson kept me till 12pm and load is a drop in Indi tomorrow.

    Decided to park and try to get back onto a night schedule when 2 preplans came in.

    1st I declined because I actual won't make the apt time on it. It's a dropped load at our Indi terminal headed to a Kroger on the other side of Indi for a 7am.

    2nd one is a preload at Americool going to a Kroger in Memphis that's also a live for 5pm and is just 500 little miles.

    Been to both Krogers before and the Memphis one is by far the worst of the two.

    I had the low fuel light come on somewhere before Vandalia, IL (that's the Walmart and Pilot that is somewhere around the 60ish mile marker)

    That supposed preload to Memphis is the same pickup and delivery I tried to pickup over the weekend that wasn't preloaded, or at least the office didn't give the guard shack the paperwork before going home for the weekend. If you accepted it, you might want to have your A/M check to see if it really is preloaded(if they had a trailer to preload)

    What I need, more problems. Will have to get that looked into then. Based upon load info it was ready on the 21th so will see if that was one big lie.

    Best part of that Americold is the lake that the majority of the trailers sit in
