Since I am only about 2 1/2 hr drive from where I deliver, and I have an appointment time tomorrow of 12 noon, I decided to stay here in Binghamton, NY. Had good signal for computer and get CBS for basketball, and Fox for NASCAR. If I move down closer to where I deliver, I probably won't have any of those things. If I got to sit this long anyway, I'll just stay here.
This kind of waiting on loads is very uncommon. I haven't seen it in all my time out here, especially with this company. Weekends have become super bad. There just aren't any loads on the weekend to pick up anymore like used to be. And if you only get one of 250 miles on Friday that delivers on Monday, it is all you going to get.
So nothing much to write about today, don't feel like standing on a soapbox. Back to my races and everyone have a great week.
About Me
- Travis
- I am married 32 1/2 years and live in E. Texas. We have one son and 3 grandchildren. Although I have BS degree and have tried management several times, I have found I am more comfortable just driving a truck. You keep your record clean and drive safely you will always have a job. When lost management jobs, I was always able to get one driving. I have always loved writing, haven't done enough of it to increase my vocabulary over the years, but no time like the present to start. Thanks to Eric and Jamie's living in China and getting me hooked on blogs, I have decided to write my own. I am a long haul truck driver and I travel 48 states. I have done this off and on most of my working career, getting my commercial license in 1972 just to pull uncle's dozer around town. If anyone follows this maybe they will get some idea what I am going through. What any truck driver goes through and what he gives up in his life. It is very lonely and not for everyone.
