Gladhand talking my language:
just got back to the dc with 10 minutes left.
Par for the course. Use it or lose it... You are kickin' a**.
Be safe.
Read my clock wrong I have 27 hours so tomorrow will be a full day too.
2 stop dry both in Las Cruces. Should be an easy day today. 401 miles round trip.

Nice man, you deserve a light day. Been running your ass off. Gotta leave some miles for the other drivers!

Yeah haha, this one won't be ready till later today, so I can sleep some more. Hope this lasts for a while, still kind of worried that it won't. I don't want to do regular OTR anymore after this haha.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

Stop worrying,...you are having a really good week. Really good! Tell someone, anyone in the office who will listen that you really like the account, know the territory (which is a huge asset for you and them), appreciate all their help and would seriously like to make it a full-time commitment. Not only show them you "want it",...tell them you "want it". Tell them every other day... Just keep performing at the current level and you will get noticed.
Trust me GH,...they need committed drivers that are willing to work and skilled enough so they are not running into stuff or shutting down before emptied out at their last stop. You think I am kidding,...my DMs constantly lament about "stupid pet tricks" committed by their drivers, mostly new drivers. I truly believe you are beyond that... I could write a "Thou Shall Not" book of all the silly things I have seen,...

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.

Tread carefully there Gladhand, those are some dangerous words. G, I think he's starting to "turn." Hahaha
What you're experiencing is the norm on Walmart dedicated. Not every week is the same, but if you are the guy who gets stuff done without issues or complaints, you will never have to worry about the miles on that fleet.

Yes, I believe he has.
Today was my first reefer run. It was fairly simple and the people from both sides stores were quick to unload me. Only thing that sucks is flipping my sleeping schedule hated when I had to do that OTR but you gotta do what you gotta do. Thanks for the help G Town.

You're welcome. Yes, the stores tend to move quickly on a reefer load.

Appreciate the help, just got back to the dc with 10 minutes left. Tomorrow will be day 5, the first day was a half day so after tomorrow, I'll have around 11 hours left.
Deadhead:
To drive with an empty trailer. After delivering your load you will deadhead to a shipper to pick up your next load.
