This weeks update:
Spent the whole day Sunday at Columbus yard getting B-Service+ A/C charged- doesn't look like they bothered with the brakes or tires( oh well ) as long as it rolls(right?) Brakes! We don't need any stinking Brakes!
Funny thing, my truck was last on their list #8 and as such-- my truck was last to service(just about quiting time for the Clock Milkers)... I dropped the trailer w bills in the box that morning-- and asked if Dispatch wanted to t-call it- they didn't, and at 11pm Sunday night I did not feel like starting a 14hr tour( like the good little soldier) I waited until 6am Monday to fuel and leave the yard- this would have put my best eta into Ruther Glen, Va around 3pm. At 8am I got the message the appointment was scheduled for Tuesday 8am. That's ok, I still got a good 8hours of running out of it for Monday.
Got the load off- 7am and returned to the Petro. Here I set for 5hour until noon waiting for a "load offer".
Ruther Glen, Va- Reading, Pa- Napoleon, Oh 240+ 517=757
so late tomorrow night I'll have 1945 for the week with 48 hours to go, having lost 1 day to Service(PM).
Tomorrow I will try to arrange to get a New Baltimore, OH- Greensboro,NC load.
In the hopes that Greenboro will link to Brown's Summit- West Branch, Ia-
Tracy?, Ca or some point far west. This is a gamble as getting empty in Greensboro could lead to a non productive Cove Lake, NC to Chicago(for Monday) load. Hmmm, maybe I'll keep my mouth shut and see what falls in my lap instead.
