The News, Both Kinds

Down for the weekend in Max Meadows, VA.  Got good news and bad news.

Good news: Got a nice 2 stop load to pick up going to FL.

Bad news: Doesn’t pick up til Monday, I waited all day today to get this load, I most likely won’t get layover because I’m technically "assigned to a load" and as such don’t qualify for layover pay due to the cheapness of the Company.

I was home last weekend because the consignee wasn’t open on weekends, I spent all day Tuesday waiting for my last load and now this. If this kind of crap keeps up much longer, I’ll not be able to afford to drive for these folks anymore.

bleah…

  • You mean you were actually able to get a parking spot at the Loves… Cheapest fuel in VA, but what a headache trying to get in there… I always stop 17 miles north in Pulaski!! So much better for parking :)

    Not Loves, I was at the Flying Hook! I’m setup on Wifi thru them and figured it was a good way to kill a weekend.

  • But The J’s (both of them) are actually in Wytheville, aren’t they???

    According to my GPS, that one was in Max Meadows. But my GPS is not always right… According to my “trucker’s friend” book its in Fort Chiswell @ exit 80. I do remember the Loves being down the road @ exit 84.

    So basically, I’m not sure where I was at! ;)
