Trans Am Still

Cranky you were right(don't let that go to your head) I called other driver he is waiting on wrecker to get to Nashville Kw. He is 163 miles away. I am going to go so hopefully he gets there with enough time for me to deliver on time. I need about 4.5 hours. Again with this split break. I can't wait to have a full 10 off so I can get proper rest. Thanks for reminding me to get other driver #

 

Left Pilot x89 this morning with my swap headed for Arcadia FL. Made it to Jasper tonite. Wish I could have made it to Ocala, but not enough time. Lake City would have been good but when I saw all the available parking at this Loves x451 on I 75 at 10 oclock on a Sunday nite, figured I better take it. Had 72 minutes left on my 11. Hoping to squeeze in a visit with my parents, whom live in Kissimmee probably after I drop. If I get reloaded in Auburndale, that will put me close enough. My delivery is at 530 pm at the Walmart dc. Nite nite.

 

Flat bed driver, trying to make a delivery o a place, that wouldn't let you come in early. Ended up getting shot, and truck set on fire, trying to cover it up. Still no clues as to who did it or why.

 

Where was this , is he okay or did he die ?

 

Northbound, I always try to get past Nashville without stopping. If I can make it to KY, I like to stop at Hucks Travel Center, Kuttawa KY , Exit 40. It is a Pilot, free WiFi, cheap laundry.

I am in New Jersey. 2 stops here in NJ today, one in New York tomorrow morning. Normally a 3 stop load would not be great, but since it is all my 70 clock can handle today, it will work out fine to get the extra $40 stop pay.

I will start working for a preplan as soon as the planners come in this morning.

 

Everything worked out perfectly for this swap. Other driver just got towed in as I was arriving in KW. Had to wait for the wrecker guy to back in trailer, he could use more practice as it took forever. Made it down to US Foods in Fairburn, Ga. with 1 hour to spare. Waiting for door now, by the looks of it here that might be a while. I don't know what it is with this company and faxing the bills. They had to know this was 24 on the bills before I got it. I just let them know I can't fax them cause US Foods has the bills now. I didn't want to chance being late.

Be safe out there

 

Hope you get to see your parents and have fun

 

I agree about faxing the bills. Automated alert and all common sense goes out the window at dispatch. I guess since we sometimes have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of perichable goods in back, they get a bit nutty about it.

I usually just find a place to fax. If in a jam, I have a document scan app (scans a lot like the TransFlow app) on my phone and use a free fax service, see links below if you are interested:

CamScanner (also in Play Store): https://www.camscanner.com/ (free leaves a "camscan" watermark but otherwise gives u all of the features u need)
Free fax service: http://myfax.com/free/

 

Dispatch will let you take a photo and email the pic to them too. It's easier pulling hens teeth than to get me to send a fax. But I email stuff rather promptly.
