The Fleeters are home

iceroadtrucker · Nov 24, 2008

Well I think its funney all the fleeters went home for Thanksgiving.

The co has runs to cover.

But their Petty Boys are comming up short.

Pulled a run out from underme today said it canx. That I sat on all weeked and waited to go pick up. Oh well.

Maryland Monroe to Elvis Pressley. Big dollars too.

Oh well then I gets a less than 75 and top of the board any hows.

By the way the run I want is to CA or AZ or NV or CO.
have nice day.

Dont even bother with MI or Canada or WI or MN or ME or NH or VT or I think you get the drift.

I dont think I want to play in the snow this year let
the Pauls, gregs, Bills, Bobbies do that this year if they can remember how to chain up their nice show trucks ha ha ha

Try as they may Im not leaving Baltimore till the fat lady sings either Turkey dinner is in 4 hours or They gave me that hammer load to California or AZ or NV

But to everyone Happy Thanks Giving to yas.

I here they got new Chain laws in
WA so better buy 2 more chains as spare for your truck as your going to need 2 spares to keep from getting that ticket
HA HA

If you can go to Canada they likely wouldn't have pulled the load. If you knew you couldn't or didn't wanna go there, why accept the load in the first place just to sit the weekend?
Maybe I misunderstood your post?

The run that was Canx was from Maryland to Memphis TN.

I said I wasnt going to take a run to Canada for them not enough monie and to much hassel.

The run that I turned down was 900 miles as well but they only wanted to pay 1300 bongo bucks ta go to Memphis as well.

Its a no brainer. I loose a 900 mile run that pays twice what I got they offered after the Elvis run canx. So I said no and they ask why??? Geesh come on.

Watch the name calling my first year with FedEX that is all I did was run car parts back and forth across the boarder for them. Along with Hazmat. Now as far as the runs go now
Nope they dont pay me enough to do it. So I simply say no thanks its not lucerative. Loose too much time. To me Time is money.

Just like wasting a less than 75 on Junk runs that just drain the fuel outa the tanks and not replunish them and Toll roads to boot as well. So I simply say NO.

They want me well first they make up for what was lost.
In other words scratch my back then Ill scratch theirs.
Other wise no Deal.

What was once an easy deal now has become NO DEAL
Im sick of Stone Soup I need Steak and Patatoes with a salad bar and fruit warm rolls and Nice tall glass of milk
In other words:
( MASHED PATATOES AND GRAVY and Steak!!! )

Thats is as simple as it gets Steak Mashed patatoes and Gravy.

Jello and Stone soup dont fill me up.

I got one question whats so hard to understand. I got in Thur. I was 3rd on the board but got out next to last.
the Trucks around me had the same as me. The load I took first pushed out from Monday to Tuesday. All of a sudden I got a call on Monday and it Canx.

So as of Monday afternoon I sit with a less than 75 for a run I waited on all weekend and they slap me in the face.

Give me a break is that simple enough ????

Likewise for me! My all time favorite E.O. post is the "The Vendeta" post. Coming in a close and related second is the "Vision Quest II" post. No matter what name you post under, you will always be Kevmar to me!
