Still no work for the local company. I call them usually (and today) call them late in the day after the next days buses have been released. Dispatch didn't tell me how many more they would have for this month, but they did say that they were told of four more on the original list won't be moving this month.
Also dispatch has been told that there should be a lot of mixers and garbage trucks this week. They haven't seen it yet, and I don't see it with my long haul company. So this is kind of changing what are plans will be. I was hoping we would be on the road last weekend and have time to do a second leg before our vacation. Now it may be a one legged trip with one driver and those don't pay as well.
I'm not sure, but it seems the agreement between the local company and the mixer company is that dispatch tells them how many drivers they have and up to that number is how many trucks we get. Seems like it any way. So if I'm on that list there better be a smooth riding truck. I was hoping to get a random truck out of one of the other shippers but nothing yet.
The truck from near me going to Eau Claire is still on the load board with the long haul company so I finally emailed that dispatcher later in the day. By the time he got back to me and I looked at my emails it was after 5 PM. Pays good, so I think we will call in on Wednesday and see if we get it. Had thought of doing that this AM but then we had things to do that also needed to be done before we left and didn't want to delay leaving IF there was work. But there wasn't.
Should have gotten my BP done so I wouldn't have had to do it tomorrow but that never crossed my mind.
There were three RV's out of Indiana from some random place going to CA, they didn't last long. I only saw them as they were the longest runs on the load board.
IA ended the day with 52, including two no tows for Sandy OR. Those would have been nice.
MN ended the day with 4, beats the 2 from yesterday. But it is the end of the month, there should be 40.
WI has a total of 8 including the short run by me and anther short run into IL. The rest are mixers from a new, for us, location.
Plan is to call in the AM about the short run :)
