USX drivers...how's your day??

Nice little break. We needed a reset badly so dropped load in Kent and we are hanging out at my parents house. Picking up tomorrow AM in Tacoma headed to Los Angeles.

 

Why ol why did I not trace my route out on a map
I came all the way across 80 from Lincoln, NE but messed up following my route solution/GPS which had me get off the toll road and stay on 80 instead of following 76 toll road heading towards York,PA. I'm somewhere on HWY 322 about 60 miles from York and ran out of drive time. This HWY is beautiful but not a fun drive at all!

 

Sometimes you have to make a judgment call in a situation like that, especially if you know you'll be low on hours.



Been there, bud.

 

Hey Wedge, where do you run primarily as a solo driver? I'm suppose to get a new FM at the end of the week so no more team runs I'm also on the waiting list for the Texas Regional. I never thought I would be saying this, but I never want to leave the south lol... Anything above I-40 they can give to someone else lol... Keep me on 10 and 20 coast to coast

 

Hello all...im with usx,,family dollar account in ashley indiana...anyone doing this and getting pissed.....

 

Why are you upset?

 

I tried it and didnt work......I am leaving USX as if tomorrow 10/16/12 will pick up a load from VT going to GA repower in Shiipensburg PA anyone looking for a load going there it will be there Tuesday..around 4pm...WEdge you have been a great role model to me and hopefully we can stay friends!!??? I just wish it didnt have to end this way but with family problems and miles on the decrease again.... i need to depart......i was a nice ride for two months and learn soemthing from USX ...you need more Dispatchers!!!!!lol...... i wish all the drivers i have interacted with the best!!!!! be safe!!!!!!!!!!

 

I run the mid-Atlantic states, south-east, mid-west including TX mostly. I do get to the north-east but not that often, and every now and then get a run out west, which is dependent on being in the right place at the right time.

Big runs are OK, but I make more money with the shorter hops (400-900 mi).


If your going solo, you won't see too many coast to coast runs.



Which office are you dispatched from?

 

Of course we're still friends.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, Brian. Family comes first.

Don't be a stranger around here. Everyone appreciates insight from a veteran driver like you.




I'll send you PMs to keep you on your toes.....lol.

 

My current FM is in the east so either Chat or TH but my home terminal is Irving. I'm suppose to get a new FM at the end of the week.
I can deal with those areas, just don't want to be up north a lot on 80 or 70. I'm hoping my runs be 600 or less to get top pay for solo. I just got another 1k run today going from PA to OK but at least this one will get me home to AR. I'm hoping I get on the Texas regional very soon.
