    And now for something completely different

    Just took my 3 rd shower at a Pilot. Think I will go to the nearest TA or Petro and pay, from now on. I'm not real fussy, have seen my fair share of poor showers in my life, but these give me the willies :eek: Now, where'd I put that giant economy size can of Lysol. :D

    Still near Nashville this AM, #2 of 2 large st in area. But probably not going to see a load heading to NC, so gonna bite the bullet and DH the 400 miles home. The pits, but needed to be home this weekend.

    anyone ask what load is paying, 1st?

    Fully agree with Steve. I didn't post my question to start people being negative, I was only wondering if others do it. Crapshooter's post is is a legitimate complaint, regarding the pay per mile issue, but the way he told it leaves much to be desired.

    anyone ask what load is paying, 1st?

    Being from Fedex, was used to seeing what load paid when offered. Based on what i was told st averages, i didn't ask, my 1st 3 loads. And they were ok rates. But just accepted a load, and it pays just over $1.00 pm, fsc included. I can't run the truck to often at that rate. So I'm going to ask...

    Ty, shadow. This is going to the Toledo post office, so will depend on their dock crowding. Will go there early, and see what happens.

    Definitely agree there. I don't miss FedEx, but sure miss using TA and Petros. And miss the bigger discount. Picked up load Fri. eve. in MN, did the drive to Toledo Sat. Stayed at Perrysburg Pilot Sat night, for shower Sun AM, then a trip to Wally World, then moved to P'burg Petro. Delivery...

    Pay week?

    Well, was dispatched today, so we'll see. Nice if it happens, no biggie if it doesn't. Main thing was to get out of MN.

    Pay week?

    Pay week goes till Sunday night at midnight, correct? So if you have load over weekend, but doesn't deliver till Monday, it goes on that week, and not on previous (that ended the day before) pay week? I know, I could call, but hate to bother them with simple, non important questions like this.

    Reply to Caffee's Blog

    I very seriously doubt that FedEx would not accept lucrative air freight from a customer, because that customer didn't use FedEXCC. That would be real poor business decision. I left FedEx with some reluctance. I liked that I had started running mostly the SE, most loads were daytime loads (I...

    Still at HQ, but leaving for WI in a cpl hrs. Good run, but real tight, running by the 'book'. May have to re-think this gig. I opted for elogs because I didn't want to play 'Log Book 202' anymore, thought that was do-able here. Oh well, will see how things play out. Anyway, 'on the...

    New to Load 1

    Ok, now have bunk heat again :) Talked to Robert, at Beki's, who diagnosed the bad switch. Explained about never using that panel, so he took another look. Found he had looked at wrong heater unit. Was just the blower fan stuck. Regarding taking on that other driver, for reasons not quite...

    Steve, just a update. Another driver took switch out of his truck, I plugged it in, didn't help. So not the switch. Will go back to Beki's this AM, after talk with Brian regarding the situation with the driver I want on as a co-driver. Thanks again.
