Thanksgiving

[Murraycroexp]

Home. For sure. Even if some ridiculous deadheading is required.
As of right now, my week terminates Wednesday morning at, or close to, Load-1 World Headquarters. But I expect a load back out of the Metro area going somewhere. It's that "somewhere" I'll be more picky about.

Staying in service as I'm training a new guy for my dad. We're running team loads and I'm trying to set a good example lol.

We will actually be out this year. First time ever. So, thanksgiving will be spent wherever or hopefully with the load one family having turkey around the corner !!!

I'll be working as I am planning on a month off at Christmas

Didn't plan to stay out but we got a 4854 mile run this week.

Well I will be home (sort of). I will be celebrating the holiday with my fleet at 1pm Thanksgiving Day by our terminal. All of the Load One drivers who are away from home and in town are welcome and encouraged to attend. Even if you are based locally and don't have a place to celebrate that is fine as well. As well any of the other expediters from any company are welcome to attend, our treat. Feel free to pm me for details if you are going to be in the Taylor Michigan area on Thursday.

Wow, that's awfully nice John. If i could be in the area I would make a big effort to experience that Load 1 Love.

A funny side note. I was O/S on my birthday this year. Fedex didn't recognize my BD.
Landstar sent me a BD Card. I've never worked for Landstar.

FDCC has never recognized my BD, then again we are always out so service when it takes place. They always call us on our aniversary with the company.

Don't feel too bad zorry, we were broke down and sitting at a repair shop in Columbia, TN on my birthday in contact with the fed several times that day as we were pre dispatched ( ultimately lost the load) and they failed to recognize it.

The only things that I care that FDCC notices are my qualifications and my pay. My birthday has nothing to do with business.

We'll be working through Friday, then to Disney World for 10 days for a combined Thanksgiving and Christmas celebration...

I totally agree.
I just think it's funny that another carrier recognized it. Someone I never worked for.
Fedex usually tells us Happy birthday on your departure call if you load on that day.

It is kinda funny. I have never worked, at FedEx, on my birthday. I don't recall them ever saying anything to my wife on her's.

Remember the Military folks on Thanksgiving, many are serving in harms way so we can drive on the freeways from state to state without someone saying " your papers please", then of course the DOT is different....lol.

OVM gave me crap because I didn't hand sign his birthday card....

Well, OVM is just that way. Next year, instead of a birthday card, give him a swift kick in the butt! Then ask him if he wants that signed! That would fix him.
