My wife and I hadn't started dinner yet, so the timing was perfect!

Also, for 1badz28: Carleen wants you to know that if you ever need to do another restart in Colorado, you can do it at our house. You can have the keys to my pickup if you have any running around to do.

Wow that is very nice of you two. I will pass the info along to him. Right now it seems he is pretty much staying on the east coast. He is headed back to IN right now. Today's load seems to be going much better. His pick up time was 9 tonight and they already have him loaded and rolling. Only thing is it doesn't deliver until Tuesday. He is hopeing that will accept it late tomorrow or early on Sunday so he can keep rolling. He has been sitting long enough in the past 2 weeks. He has made more on detention pay than on mileage it is crazy.

Rhino picked up in Napoleon, Ohio and was suppose to deliver in Sacramento the 27th. But had way to much time to so he dropped in the yard at WVC. He now has picked up at Jordon, Utah and headed back to Ohio to drop on the 26th. His pickup time in Jordon was 10am, preloaded trailer. He was there around 9:30am and they said they couldn't release the trailer until 4pm

Why a pickup time if you can't pick up? lol Well if it's a preloaded trailer anyway. Oh, well. He will still make his delivery time with detention pay.

Guess all good things must come to an end. After a killer run, got the load dropped, sent in the mty call and am awaiting my next load. According to the preplan, looks like I'm going to sit for most of 2 days and then pick up a load on Long Island. Not sure how I feel about that. Way to close to NYC for this boy!!!!

Looks like almost everyone is doing a lot of sitting right now. 1bad has a 500 mile trip and it doesn't deliver until tuesday morning and the reciever will NOT take it early. I told him to look at this way. At least he won't have to worry about a reset for awhile.........LOLOLOLOLOLOL I know it sux to sit but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do right?

TO ALL ok this is how it works when your company gives you a load with way to much time on it the reason is there freight is getting slow in that area or region then they set a no drop early policy with the load so you cant just drop in and say i'm here can you unload me that way as long as your under a load for a couple extra days they dont half to pay layover pay

Right on but when your a 1/2 day from home they should let you come home instead of sitting in crappy truck stops to wait out the extra time. Is all I'm saying.

Some places will take you early we all have the shippers and receivers phone number so we don't have to take Centrals word for it LOL.

Wally world make you stay to your app time unless you can get customer service to call them and change it and that don't happen often.

Pharmpail says he has used their service for quite some time and been happy with it.

hey dockrat, i get internet service from my sprint card and the only time i have had a problem is in pocatello where i live but i can still connect....just not as fast, and it's 59.00 a month, unlimited use, w/ a contract. if you have a wireless phone service provider it's probably better to see if you can bundle a plan with them......otherwise i would probably go with sprint or verizon, i heard broadband coverage could be better, just didn't do any comparisons.
