I had a great evening with Lorene and John! She made a wonderful pasta dish (I have leftovers waiting in my cooler) and I enjoyed a good night sleep (I took a 13 hour break!).....so I was expecting a nasty note when I finally made it to the truck. Instead, there was a message changing my delivery time to 3 AM tonight...NOT GOING TO HAPPEN and another note wanting to know if I would interested in working a job fair for the company tommorrow....HAHAHAHAHA!
And...someone broke into my trailer last night (the seal is gone) to only realize I had nothing of value but large pallets of diapers!
Now back to dispatch. Once I was ready to hit the road (10 hrs to the drop), I requested my hours. I have only 8.5 hours on my 70 which means, I won't make the delivery today. If I ran the 8.5 hours, they would expect me to take a 10 hour break and drive just after midnight to drop the load (it would still be late). Soooo.....I have 8.5 hours to drive in 14 hours. I think a long break is in order so when I close the logs tonight, I won't be able to drive until at least 5:30 AM with the load arriving at 7:30 AM and hopefully straight to my interview.
Not only that, my dispatch told me that I requested home time starting tomorrow and I will be home tomorrow. I told her that time off meant waking up in my bed, not waking up in the truck and working.
And they wanted me to represent them at a job fair.....let me hand out fliers on how not to apply!
