THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE - DFO gets a truck and hops on Schneider's IC Choice Program

Man it is just wide open now, once I got out of Birmingham and got on it I had the cruise at 70 and I think only had to tap the brakes once or twice all the way up to just south of Memphis, lol.

Hoping I can get back on there and make some good time tonight, but been sitting at the dock for a good while now, and the 14 is ticking away and still no movement in the trailer.

Trying to find something to get me moving on the 22nd since most of my day tomorrow will be spent getting down to Lake Park. Stupid Scotts screwed me over bigtime, I was gonna jump on a real nice load headed up to York, PA (I'll lay money it was C&S, but hey it paid REAL good, so yeah maybe I'd do it again), but couldn't do it since I got held up so long at Scotts.

 

Lake Park has that big Home Depot warehouse,right?

 

Yep that's it.

 

When I had my reefer I picked up jalapenos and bell pepper right down the street from it.

 

Id like to hope so too, since I'm in KY now and heading to Texas. But the NWS is warning of a possible tornado outbreak with severe weather in a large portion of the country this afternoon and evening. Storm chasers are already mobilizing. Welcome to springtime LOL.

 

Well just booked a heavy load from Ochlocknee, GA up to Mount Crawford, VA, then grabbing some pallets from there and running across to Williamsburg, VA, the it'll be bobtail home time. Done the loads from Ochlocknee before, heavy but not as bad as that friggin mulch and won't take 10 hours to load... supposedly a preload anyway. Originally there was another pallet load going to Richmond but I waited 15 minutes too long and lost that one, so I had to grab a new one to Williamsburg.

Oh well, extra what 30 miles back to the house. Wasn't really ready to go back to the house yet, I wanted to continue playing around in GA, but got some stuff I need to take care of, and it'll be a good time to get the PM done and also my Insite software and adapter have arrived so I really want to grab that. Should be able to get all those loads done and be back at home by the 24th which will round of this week as a decent one, grossing a little over $3500, considering I'll have only run 2300 miles.

 

Sitting at the Flying J in Waco right now with a load on me and a preassignment for live load @0730 tomorrow. Called DBL earlier, sent in exception, then messaged support shift telling them I'm done for the day because nobody is sending me a location for an mt. Some days are nice and easy, and some are filled with absolute stupidity.

 

Believe it or not i had a 1800 appt time, and i was back on I-83 around 1930 lol

 

I hate McCalla HD...it took me two hrs to get in the gate, luckily i breaked outside or i would have been mad..

 

I live in Memphis...but man did you just deadhead from the Birmingham area to the Memphis area lol?
