Another company phone call on Tuesday, now we are getting to the point where most questions have been answered before (but people may not have been listening)


I was thinking about this and today it was confirmed. The companies that thought they were going to re-open are not. Too many parts are JIT, just in time, so they do not have enough parts in stock until everyone opens back up and starts shipping.


Found out something that 'cost' me a little on Tuesday. Sometime last week I had called the long haul company to find out why I wasn't getting my Safety Bonus. I got my in Monday and BB's showed up on Tuesday. So we looked deeper at the numbers and found I only got paid for March, not Feb or Jan. BB looks closer at the requirements and they were changed Jan one. We now need to attend a safety meeting every 3 months instead of every six months. So I logged 10,000 miles this year and no bonus. No bonus for Dec either but I'm not sure why. Opps.


Today on Face Book there was a post that now our IA shipper is not planning on opening until May 4 as are similar locations.


We did try to fill out our MN unemployment forms online. Mine went through but said I would get -0-. BB's just sent her back to start, no error, no message. It's was a little bit of a challenge trying to convert how we record things to how others view things. Didn't help that we were only on the road less than six months last year.


MN moved the stay at home out to May today so we will likely stay off the road until after that.


Load board, nothing at the end of Tuesday from IA. There was five out of WI but all going to Canada. Still 45 on the board nation wide.
