Well, I finally got back to an Internet connection! Since my last post I have been to Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and back to Ohio en route to Seattle Wa.

I won't be completing this run, but I will grab as much of the 2800 miles from it as I can. I have been joking with my dispatch planner that I always get these fantastic loads a few days before I'm supposed to go home...crazy. I wish I could get a run like this when I first leave the house for my 3 week run. The good news is however far west I get it delivered, I need to drive the same distance to get home. More miles= more money!

My New York stop was interesting. I got to the stop on time at 9am expecting a 1 hour unload. nine hours later, I was done and underway. This poor place had two guys working at it, and no loading dock. They had to unload each truck by hand, and I was fourth in line.

I get extra pay for stops like this, called detention pay, but it still is frustrating to walk into a deal like this. Oh well, it's not just a job, it's an adventure!
