The start of my first year with Swift.

I made the delivery to SLC this morning and waited around for another load. The guy at the window kept telling me it shouldn't be very long. It actually took about 4 hours to get a load. I got lucky and caught a load bound for Nampa, ID with a return trip to Corrine, UT when I get done with my home time. It looks like I have a chance to be part of the surge fleet out of here. I talked to my DL about it and he offered me a spot on a dedicated Canada run. I guess I'll see where this all goes.

 

I made my delivery to Walmart in Nampa. It's kind of odd how some folks do things. While I was inside the store talking to the receiving, another driver pulled his truck in front of the trailer I had to move from the dock. Thinking he was just going to be there a short while I went about my business of unhooking from my loaded trailer. When I went back to his truck to ask him to move, he was gone. I snaked around him and was able to pull out the empty trailer. i dropped hit and re-hooked to the loaded one. Still the driver never showed back up. I finally went back and rang the buzzer for receiving. Since they only are supposed to be letting in one driver at a time I knew I had a long wait. It took about 20 minutes for them to open the door and here came the driver. I asked him to move his truck so I could dock and he did. He seemed like a nice guy, I guess he just wasn't paying attention when he parked.

Please, pay attention to where you stop. You may be blocking someone else in who actually needs to be someplace.

 

That doesn't sound good.

 

And there, but of the grace of God, go I..

I feel for ya. Don't give up just yet. It may just be your turn in the barrel.
