Taking another swing at it

Of course while I sat I updated all my online resumes just as way of fuming over the sit all weekend when I had a load thing.
I don't want to jump this far in , but this ticked me right off. July better knock my socks off and be yuge.

 

Finally home, now to go to work

 

I should have put out a tip jar. If every compliment were $5 it would have been a lucrative weekend

 

I think I'm going to investigate a payoff amount on my truck, once I get the title, I think I'm going trade up for a newer model and maybe investigate other companies.
I could be thinking out loud.

 

I went to MN with a 2 stopper. 1st stop was a target store. Then to the DC.
Problem?
It is a downtown store that accommodates a 30' single axle delivery truck.
They don't have Lumpers or a crew to do a street unload as there is no parking on the street.
So I'm outside the DC gates awaiting the solution to their self created problem that I don't get paid for.

 

I'm trying to figure out if I'm paranoid or if my feelings of mistrust and dread about my company recently is warranted.
My buyout isn't that much. I could probably swing a loan, but if I used said loan to get the title and trade it for something new and shiny, I would then have 2 payments, which defeats the purpose of getting the title.
I'll figure it out yet

 

My lease is up the first week in March 2017.

My mistrust stems from their growing inability to plan accordingly.
I was out the from April 19th through the entire month of May. I struggled to break 2400 miles. I had a few weeks I didn't break 2000.
It's really difficult to stay loyal when I start to stress on whether I can save money in the bank.
The holiday weekends do not help.
It's turning into one of those. "If I'm going to sit, I may as well be at home " situations.
There is starting to be a severe lack of communication at all ends.
And bait and switch tactics.
Asked to grab a load that went to Alabama for Tuesday, and drop it at our yard in Michigan, then I'd be " hooked up" with a run to Hazleton PA...as soon as I accepted the short run, the PA run was suddenly canceled.
Kinda getting sick of the run around.
It's July 1. I'm out until July 30.
I told the planners and dispatch that we need 11000 by the time I go home. We will see if they reach the bar or fall short.
I'll reevaluate August 1. My camping dates are August 1-8. I'm looking forward to it.

 

Of course there is no empty after I drop to go get the next load. Of course it's a holiday weekend and there won't be an empty until Tuesday. Of course this is twice in a row this happened on a weekend to me.
