Taking another swing at it

1st load is a reefer Gfs load from Illinois to Brighton MI. Supposed to have been loaded 3 hours ago, but here I am. At least I'm in a door. Good luck to me on getting to Brighton with 6 hrs left on my clock. I can make it. Just not at 2am when they want me there.

 

I hear that is a high paying load well over $2 a mile. Price of frieght is up and doesn't look like it's coming down.

 

That's a good thing.

 

My weekend load took me to South Carolina for 3 stops. I got 2 stops done, only to discover stop 3 will not unload until Wednesday due to the storm. Yay. Looks like a 34hr reset to me. Hoping I can salvage the week now.

 

Power keeps going out at the petro in Columbia. No card purchases can go through. At least I grabbed a beer.

 

Finally heading back to MI. Had to stop on the WV turnpike due to a fatal wreck from earlier backing up traffic.
I'll be having a sit down with whatever powers that be to see about our freight strength. I didn't care to sit 2 days after taking a long time off. That needs to not happen. I predicted it would happen too. Silly me

 

There's no reason to be sitting right now ... freight has been running hot.

 

On my way to NM with a light load. Nice to break away from the normalcy.

 

Friday we got a fleet wide message to put in extra effort in the next few weeks for FEMA And other shippers, to work hard for another 4-500 miles each week.
I'd be proud to run a FEMA load. Sign me up.

 

I've been waiting for the shop to fix sleeper heat, getting it ready for winter before the rush of trucks with heat problems crowd the garage. Shame I seem to know more about how to repair some things than the mechanics here do, as I tell them what to do or check next cause they just eant
