Arrived at Receiver in Tracy, CA 2:48 "late" this morning. This was after a 10 hour delay at & caused by the shipper. For the last leg of this trip I drove 555 miles in 9 hrs and 52 minutes. 56.25 mph average includibg up and down mountains including Donner Pass and a 55 mph speed limit in CA! "Totally Awesome" and "You did good!" Trainer said.
The trip was almost 2,600 mi. in 2 days for the Team, I think!
And shipper will pay almost $1,500 for delay and "driver" (Trainer) gets about $150 of it!
What they did was seal the trailer with a "temporary" metal seal with the BOL's inside AND the note which said to break the seal to get to the bills and new seal. Expensive lesson!
Trip looked something like this...
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.
Great job Marc
Nice to hear the trainer is happy.
Keep it up!

Thanks Rob. Didn't get to back much but the yard will be there when we get back!
Cool stuff is he said "everyone (back in the office) will know what an awesome job we did. This run was actually a "reward" for going above and beyond and helping them with a "cluster" on the previous run.
Yes, trucking is not easy and companies do play "favorites".
Trainer got a call from a former student this morning. He is now with a different company. He asked a couple of HOS questions and thanked him for all his help. He added I had the best Trainer ever.
Inclined to agree!
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

Cool Beans! Did a few minutes of "live streaming" of UT on FB. Had to sleep (or try) through some od it as I had 500+ miles to drive coming up. Missed Wendover, NV
Keep me posted. Maybe we can meet at Iowa 80!

Thanks Grumpy!
Backing practice @ customer in Salinas, CA while waiting to be loaded. Had a veggie burito off the taco truck. Nice bathrooms, outdoor hand wash and sanitation stations. Another place has an indoor cafe. (No doubt carry out only). 59 degrees, windy but sun and blue skies. Nice (long overdue) nap. Life is good!
Spent almost an hour moving a trailer over about 2"! Straight line to a dock, 45, 90, blind side, parallel, S-curve backing moves... Pieces starting to come together! Drill Sergeant brutal but fair! Just what I needed!
Marc,
Any update on training?
Rob.
