So here I sit

If it is your truck and trailer. I would maybe drop the trailer and put a pin lock on it. Otherwise I would be headed for the house. It is always a good idea to call before the day before to find out what various receivers holiday hours are. And when I say you call I do not mean have the broker, dispatch, whoever do it. If you want to be certain, you call and get the person you talk to full name and maybe a cell phone no.

 

r u a company driver or o/o?after 5 years of trucking you should know better,call the receiver everytime u think is gonna be a problem.i dont care what the dispatcher or the broker said.drop the trailer and go home.

 

Only 120 miles?? Where's the question here? My truck companys truck or my grandmother's truck I'd be gone cloud of dust is all you'd see of me!!

 

I always call when there's a holiday or any doubts about their hours. I learned the hard way during my first 6 months OTR. Lessons learned and remembered.

 

Make proof of you being there. Like a pic with a date stamp on it..
Go home and tell them you will del. on your schedule...
500.00 a day for det. and storage. Merry Christmas

 

Yes, copy BOL and proof of the delivery time. head home and enjoy Christmas!

 

I'm prepared for missing Christmas some, not saying I like it but I have missed 8 years of my 10 I did with the Sheriff's Office. Not just truckers that work Holidays. Sucks for alot of others also! Sorry...Merry Christmas & hope you get home soon & safe.
