    So for a backhaul this week I got sent to the nightmare shipper... A drop amd hook that is NEVER a drop & hook. The load is NEVER ready... They have 3 of our trailers and none of the drivers that I have talked to about this place has ever gotten a load out of there that was ready. WHY ARE WE LEAVING 3 TRAILERS THERE IF THEY CANT EVEN GET 1 LOADED?????

    So any way, I get there near the end of the day. One of our trailers is on a dock... I think awesome!... Wrong... Not only is the load not ready... Its NOT EVEN SCHEDULED TO BE SHIPPED!!!!

    So here I sit for the night until my dispatcher gets to workbin the a.m. to sort this crap out...

    I HATE, HATE, HATE CHICAGO!!!!!!!

    Ya. I never drove the 90 through the Snoqualmie Pass when it was bad. All I had was a car. Heard it would get bad. There had to be a way through. Just not in a car during those times. The East is a totally different place than the West in Washington. Interstate 82 was an up and down climb/descent as well but beautiful. Coming from the flat lands of Illinois, I adapted remarkably well. I traveled the I 90 so many times in all seasons I fell in love with it. I am sure I will take heat for saying that. Can you fall in love with traveling a certain route?

    America is a beautiful country for sure. I hope you find the place to call home.

    Thank you, I was hoping for an update.

    Sounds like your doing about as good as can be expected. Good. We’re all on your side. Do NOT let that ####### grind you down!

    Stuck this big girl in a spot here at Texas Best Travel Plaza I think its called on 287 just south of Wichita Falls. Grabbed some bbq from inside.

    The shop still hasn't got the final go ahead to rebuild my engine. But atleast I got a good truck to run until.
