Stuck In Salt Lake :(
Topic 14100 | Page 1
I feel your pain. I got the last load out of Prewitt, NM. Headed to Alhambra, CA. I was happy to have a load but not so happy about getting a reset at a Barstow truck stop. Consignee lives by appointments. It delivers this afternoon though. I'm trying to stay positive. This is just a day at the office. Hoping to get home to Oregon this weekend. The reset means I should be able to drive hard and get there. I'm done crying now.
Consignee:
The customer the freight is being delivered to. Also referred to as "the receiver". The shipper is the customer that is shipping the goods, the consignee is the customer receiving the goods.
Hey at least you don't have 26 more days until you can take home time!
Ya, I can't complain to much as I'm home every weekend now.
You ever get down to Sac? I almost never go an hour out of the city so you have to come to me now.
Daniel B. I was there last week. Delivered in Rocklin, and 2 pickups one in Sac, the other W. Sac. I don't know your schedule so I didn't want to bother you. I was looking in the cab of all double tankers while in the area to see if you were driving.
D .. I'm at the Flying J I-80 exit 99 just west of Salt Lake City. Lake Point UT.
I'm at the rest stop just East of you, I-80 at exit 170 in Echo taking my 10.
I might take a short hike in these buttes.
Gorgeous here.

It is beautiful here! I should have taken a walk as well. Thought you had a local job. I been away from here for a while, probably old news.
I finally have a linehaul thing. Denver to SLC, overnight. 10 hours off here and then SLC to Denver, at night again. I'm doing this twice one week and three times the next, every other week.
I'm hoping to get on board with this company permanently.

Linehaul:
Linehaul drivers will normally run loads from terminal to terminal for LTL (Less than Truckload) companies.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning them to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

That's near where I saw a moose.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

Was having a great start to week. Left Portland OR Sunday night, delivered in Cheney WA Monday morning. Had a couple hours to kill then reloaded in Moses Lake. Did my 10 in truckstop near shipper , and left for Salt Lake at midnight. Arrived at receiver at 11:30am Tuesday a day and a half early for the appointment. They couldn't fit me in but gave me a 0700 Wednesday morning appointment. So I didn't want to lose my first in line spot so I slept there on the side of the street, was empty at 0815 and rolled to a Flying J on the way to my next load just west of the city. Here I filled my fuel tanks, and got a bite to eat ready to pickup and roll out. Being that I'm still a day ahead of schedule my load isn't ready till tomorrow after 10am. Can't even hang out at the Prime terminal here as I no longer drive for them. So here I sit.
Never mind my sob story, I'm ok with it that's how trucking goes sometimes, im just board. :)
Shipper:
The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
