I was ready to leave several days ago!

We have a 4 hour layover in Omaha, change buses, get to KC, 5 hour layover, change buses then straight thru to Ardmore.

I'm just glad to be moving down the road!

Dm:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

635 miles? That's pretty dang impressive!!

You just missed us! We are in Omaha waiting on the bus to Kansas City.

Things are looking up. Except for sleep. Still don't know when that's going to happen... I've been up since 7 and this next leg is only 3 hours. Then we are laying over until 8 am. Ummm... Yeah.

Bus #2. Omaha to Kansas City. Only one stop on this leg so it should be painless.

The bus isn't bad. Packed to the gills but we snagged 2 seats together.

I can't sleep. I hate trying to sleep sitting up plus it's a moving vehicle. Ugh this is going to be a long trip...
