Good Morning Load One live from the J. Hope everyone had a great Christmas week. Well I was Mr. E for a day last week as I flew to see the parents as the van was getting work done and flew back in yesterday to pickup the van. The van is like brand new again. Should last hopefully another 2...

I thought flying was your stress reliever,lol.

Good Friday Morning Load One! Well got the load off yesterday morning and came back to the office and stop by the safety. Seen everyone and glad I got to see Steve "SWTexas". As I was getting ready to head to the office a load alert came across going to OH. I took the run and after I drop I...

Well on a interesting note. On my way to the office for the night cause I've got a morning delivery. The count down/starts on the van has happened and you only get 10? The older ones was 16. So after I drop in the morning I'll come by the office and drop off paperwork and head to the...

Hey Roadtime, I went through St Louis Sunday afternoon and into IA Sunday night. In St Louis it was a sheet of ice and the whole interstate was white. Everyone was doing 20 25 mph and US 61 was definitely not better. I had 430 miles to go Sunday and it took me over 12hrs to complete. Hate to...

Yep. I try doing the right thing and also wanting them to know my reason

I would say I'm 95% or higher on accepting loads and I think it's getting old from management and it sounds like it's going to be a black and white call, no gray.

One thing that bothers me is when I turn down a load and after I hit the decline button, I would like to be able to enter the reason for turning down the load and having the person knowing why I'm turning it down. I guess I could call but don't won't to tie up phones. Maybe dispatch doesn't...

Well Connecticut is planning to put truck only tolls in several locations. It's expected to raise $19.4B to make road improvements.

Seen there tractor at the J in Jackson GA

Just got unloaded a few hours ago and I'm staying put until next Thursday. Hopefully a load comes available before than, if not I'll be heading to the parents hours for the Christmas dinners!

Had a load offer Monday and it was a low low offer that I couldn't run for and I declined it. Had 62 hours of idle time and lost it. I understand both the driver side and the company side. The other driver that had 70 hours and took the load. Maybe if the load gets covered the other driver...

Call them up and find out

I talked to a Marathon fuel guy and he told me that they didn't won't to sell the Wilcos but PFJ wanted them badly and there paying for it. PFJ is on a 40 year lease and after that the own them. He said Marathon is making a killing off of it. Yes Buffett is invested in PFJ and will owned 80%...

GM has been good to me. Now the Ford plant in KY years ago was a different story. I've been there recently and was treated good.

I thought you might think that I was talking about you about the clothes and showered which I wasn't. IMO they see alot of different drivers and some to most treat them not so good I think. There has been few times I've been done that way and I just talked to them and things smooth out.

Hate to hear that. Hope things start turning around for you

I've seen the same thing Roadtime. It seems rates aren't good as of now. Hopefully they will get better.

I haven't been treated different or bad at shippers and consignee's. I think alot of them are getting tired of drivers thinking that they can order them around and tell them what to do. Also drivers don't look and dress professional and some to most don't smell good cause they don't shower...

Got the freight off this morning showered and bed. I also got two load offers today which were good but didn't get them. I got one load offer going to a bad weather area and said no. I know I'm sad too. Time to look at my options and see what I need to do.
