Gotta give John Elliott his respect, I've only met him once a few years ago, and I seen him while I was cross docking and he remembered my nameshows me he is a people person!

Well figured out something today, I like to check the sylectus available vehicle board to see how many vehicles are in my area and also check to make sure I am posted correctly. If the carrier that has the vehicle availability link posted has your company blocked you won't see yourself posted. Been that way for a month or so, took me until today to figure out why......

Available Equipment Search

That is the direct sylectus link that I found....

Well, I found out today that this company did block us, and they are not sure why. If we screwed up loads for them I would totally understand, but I think this has to do with a 3rd party, who is really starting to tick me off. I might have to make a change here soon but unfortunately my truck will not talk to a QUALCOMM, so there goes most of the bigger companies. Maybe its time to move up and get my class a and drive a real truck.....

I think laffeyette indiana is my favorite spot to fill up. I have been filling up for under 1.50, before the discount.

How do you know your company didn't screw up a load? Sometimes partner carriers cut you off for dumb reasons. At least you figured out what the problem is. Maybe your boss can call them and see why you guys were cut off from getting loads from them.

Well, its not like we did a lot of loads for this carrier, but if we did screw up a load for them, I would know it, I spend way too much time chilling in the office waiting for loads......

I don't know how to explain what I think is going on without naming names, but a certain agent used to send us the majority of loads, now they are getting them done with other carriers and they are telling them to block us so that we cant see the loads, because we would know where they came from.

That question is going to be asked here soon.

LOL thankfully I am not planning on ever coming out to SD for any reasons. But I suppose this kind of weather could happen in Chicago. Less than more but I have remember few days with -42 with windchill...

Come on ken let's turn the million today. I feel like this should be historically remarkable moment 1 million miles.

How many engines, transmissions? That is regardless very impressive.

I want to thank the Panther st8 who was running at hi idle all night for moving away from me so I could sleep, it wasn't even asked he/she did it all by themselves!

We'll got all my orientation papers and information today from averitt, they got all my sizes for my uniform(which I don't really wanna wear), they got my mileage from my house because I will be driving down there instead of taking a bus, got the list of stuff I have to bring with me, and how it all goes down.


I hope everyone stays warm because it was 30 f here in Berea Ky. Last night.
