Loaded up and heading to Ft Worth!

It's kinda hard to get loaded in a timely manner when you show up 24 hours prior to your appointment time, but that's how it goes sometimes.
Anyway, I'm loaded here in Lacombe, LA and headed to Ft Worth. Gonna stop by the house in Hicks, LA and pick up Ms America for the remainder of the week. Coming home on Thursday for a long Independance Day celebration!

Got to Folgers Coffee in New Orleans and dropped my load and picked up an empty. They had me preplanned on a load from Lacombe, LA to Ft Worth, TX that delivers Sunday night. Total miles on that load will be 564 miles which will close the week out at roughly 3200 miles. I'll update later with the actual end of week totals.
Drivers, Tango really does have consistant freight and miles for those who know how to manage their time well. The people that work behind the scenes in the office will bend over backwards to help you when you have an issue on the road or at home. Can you say that about your company.
I share my experience online with you because I know how hard it is to find legitimate information about a trucking company before you fill out the application. It seems you can only find negative info about companies online. It can be very frustrating, I know.
Tango may not be the biggest, nor the best, but they have great people and they seem to strive to be a driver oriented company. Give them a call. I dare you!

I got unloaded in Shreveport this morning and then headed down to Coushatta, LA to pick up a preloaded trailer heading to St Joseph, MO.
Good Lord willin' and the creeks don't rise I'll be there in the morning. Then from there I am already planned on a load from Lee's Summit, MO down to my favorite town, the Big Easy!
These two loads together are a total of 1569 paid miles. I'll be catching y'all up later from New Orleans.
