    lots of changes the past couple of weeks. New QC (Qual COM) system was introduced 7/7, quite a few bugs to work out with that I see. I went home for home time 7/8, glad, give the new system a chance to work its self out.

    Was given an opportunity to go regional or stay otr this past week. The regional thing seems suspect to me so I stuck with otr. Something seems amiss here at USA, I cant put my finger on it but something is wrong.

    Things are a but helter skelter here the past few days. For me anyway, lots of downtime and from what I understand its company wide. USA is trying to regionalize the company and it is being met with resistance and a host of logistics/communication problems. As with any change it will take some time, the question is how much and can I stand it?

    560 mile run that delivers tomorrow followed by a 700 mile run that delivers Monday with a slight chance of taking a 10-15 hour break at the house. This is the best weekend I've had in a long while. No sitting for an extended period of time lol!

    I got over 2800mi for the week, and sat for 2 days in San Antonio TX. I am at the consinee and the load doesn't deliver until Monday...Magically, there are no loads in Chicago again. If they take this load in the morning I bet a load appears out of thin air though.

    I have had a good week, I'm tired of the bull though. It's wearing me thin. I have a god run for the weekend. My fm is doing his thing, trying to keep his guys happy.

    Good luck with weekend dispatch finding you anything, they couldn't find crap if they fell in it.

    Yeah I came into the CONS this morning and they said they could work me in this evening...Imagine that, and why the FM fill in couldn't do that in the past 2 days is beyond me. I bet that load appears next, somewhere.

    Yep just got a of assignment that picks up @ 23:00. Delivers Monday, and somehow there are no loads here, but I got one. Now there are no loads in Vandalia area either, bet if I stopped by there on the way I'd see a loaded trailer there that needed to move, but they ain't letting me drop a load to keep moving.

    my week started out crappy. goes 10.5, 3, 10.5, 3 , 10.5, 3. The three hour day was hardest , sitting waiting to get unloaded then head to shipper to get loaded. Most of my runs I would show up before the warehouse even received the order then I would have to sit and wait while they picked it. Also i am sure they have lost all their directions and notes. I am going to try the regional thing. Hope it works out. Not sure when it supposed to take effect but I will keep everyone posted when it starts. for me at least. I know other guys are already on it.
