I showed my daughter this BOL. Under the B.S. is a number starting with ISBN. She says that stands for International Standard Book Number. Apparently what I hauled was a book or parts of a book titled B.S.Finally, a BOL that fits half of what we do!
I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go
Let's see, where was I...
Oh yeah, I've had enough of Texas...
Dallas to somewhere around Fort Worth to past Houston, back to Houston. Something like that, I was down to seconds on my 14hr clock before pulling the brakes last night
About to hook up and head by Fort Smith Arkansas...
I'm feeling more then a tad burnt out, with not much money to show for all the hours I've been putting in...not a happy camper at this point
Knot happy because you haven't seen your first check, OR, knot happy because the clock is limiting your total miles?I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go

Last couple trips up to Seattle we had a LOT of trouble getting out. Cali still holds well for teams. Texas is getting useless now. Houston OK, we stay away from Laredo but DFW has become a fight on rates. Friday AM Sylectus showed almost 50 Vans/Sprinter/Small Straight.No thanks! For expedited solos, going out west is a lost cause .. unless you're confident your carrier will get you out. There's a big outfit in northern Cali sucking up loads within 200 mi at rates that are barley break even.
As a team in a van you guys are somewhat insulated. Not too many people want to cram into a sardine can with their spouse. You'll always be cheaper than a straight. So you can keep rolling ...
Besides the fact that my better half is practically convinced I have corona virus based on the cities I've been to recently, even thought I'm not sick.
I told her not to worry ... I've never been famous but I could be infamous.
Breaking News: Man Possibly Contaminates Millions While Driving Thru 18+ States in 2 Week Span!
Having been a "Worn-out manager" and knot a "real" trucker, other than the 11 hours driving, 14 hours in service, what crap work is yours to do? I assume that when not driving the other 3 hours are unpaid hours.A combination of doing too much unpaid work as a employee, lower then expected pay, computer dispatch stupidity, and next to no free time unless I run out of hours has been getting to me.
The biggest thing I didn't realise is how time consuming this job is. Putting in 16 hr days, where every waking moment revolves around this job, is a hard adjustment. I can't say I haven't been asking myself, why are you doing this again?
But hey, at least I'm busy
I don't know how people think that Saudi isn't oil dependent. They couldn't hang with us a couple of years ago when they tried that crap.
That's why some people "sold " while Stocks were high and now have invested in Real Estate which in turn give a more Stable return on your money, instead of depending on so called Stock Market experts playing with your money..
I may have misread, but, OPEC & Russia had an agreement to hold production down to keep prices up. My read was that Russia withdrew from the agreement because we (USA) were getting too much of a boost from better pricing. Russia has committed to increase their production and exports and now Saudi will match.
Replace hoses, probably were restricting flow and now flow has been returned..... To the ground.Ok. Power steering started working after 4 years...and now it's leaking...any ideas
