*sigh* We can't move without the truck owner's permission because we don't have the funds to pay for the fuel ourselves at this time. We get paid today but we need to hold on to as much of that as possible to cover this past week where we had no miles. We had to miss a family event that had been planned a month ago because of being stuck out here so we aren't exactly "happy campers" right now anyway.

And our truck's owner has been a really great owner until now. This has all just been enough put us at the end of our rope and as soon as we can manage we are giving back the keys. I'm fed up.

We have a nest egg, it's just not instantly reachable. Oh well, nothing to do but wait and see what happens.

all we are talking is 60 gallons...to either Barstow or even less to Denver...
next time you'll know...no SLC...and if your owner complains about refusing a load there....I suppose your owner doesn't book his own loads in times like this? you'll have this because he did nothing to help you...just rub it in his face real good!! :)

We have had a really good week. We just delivered near Nashville. Parked at the TA on I65 south of there. Hoping for just 1 more load this week, or at least a good pre-dispatch for Monday.

Well we E1 finally called this morning with a load going to Las Vegas and then we are going to Ontario, California. The load delivers tomorrow morning so at least we will get something for this week. Once we get out of this awful part of the country, I'm never coming back again!

From KC to Salina, KS then back to KC. All short van runs this week. Just missed out on a Jonesboro, AR run, which is fine...had a decent week and would rather spend time with my daughter, anyway.
