    I'm sure sdaniels MIGHT have heard this, today...if not...listen to this! I had to get a "lumper check" this morning waited almost an hour and a half JUST FOR DM TO GIMME THE PO! Boy was I pissed! lol especially since they had me unloaded and was ######## and gripeing about me paying them, get outta their door, etc. etc. ALMOST footed the 135 myself, since it takes nighttime 5-10 minutes for a PO number but my wife takes close to 2 hours?!??!?!?! Guess that's women for us? lol oh well...finally get my po...pay them, then off to Miami. Get there...realize they want me to t-call in G'boro! WHAT?!?!?! THEN get a message asking if I'm alright to get it to Colonial Heights. It's due FRIDAY OPEN SLOT! lol I think Flying and I should team! It seems like our days are ALMOST going hand in hand now! lmao I get this message, as soon as I'm driving...oh Miami SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol so, hafta call DM, since you can't pull over...OR send a message in stop and go traffic....wife LOVES me calling her! lol NOT! lmao so, gotta drop in Greensboro, think I'm gonna have my body work done on my truck that the moron did to it in NJ! So, "wifey"(not the REAL ONE! She's too quiet! lol I just like calling her that, since that what she is during the week!) is all fired up like a firecracker! Turns out....one of their drivers drove, ready? 330 miles OUT OF ROUTE for a 30 mile PICKUP that was a LOADED 660 mile run! WOW! I can understand...but just said...look WE ALL HAVE BAD WEEKS! Mine has been loading/unloading times and nowhere to park! I NEED MONEY for lumpers! Why can't WE JUST GET MARRIED! lol But, I did here a story from one of my trainers, at USA, that said they had a student, kinda like Dennis....Flying lol, that his first run was from somewhere in OH out to Portland, MA....he went to Portland, OR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Called dispatch, at USA, and complained he couldn't find the exit..OR the street he was suppose to take! BOY CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?!?!?!?!?! LMAO! I think this was in 2001-2002...and we could choose any "designated" fuel stop we wanted.....their qualcomm's were like one's out of the 50's! lol Ok, like my man Flying, same time, same channel tomorrow fellers! Or should I say, future TEAM MATE? lmao ;)

    WOW! I guess you didn't have too much hair after that wait. lol My trainer here at EPES had a wait time of 23 hours to get loaded one time....they paid him detention but only for 8 hours. He lived, not far, from the place and was really thinking of going home and coming back...but they kept telling him he was next for 22 hours!
