Haha! It's not lettuce, you didn't miss anything! I actually don't know what it is. Or, I don't remember.

Update - Hubby and the other empty were still waiting this morning. Either the company that loaded it was going to come out and take care of their mess OR if they aren't there by whatever time (they set a deadline, I guess?) the guys are going to split the load and both head to NC.

The company owner spoke to both my husband and the other gentleman and thanked them for their patience in this situation and explained that they would be compensated for this. Hubby said layover pay - maybe around $100/day. Just one of those icky situations. Like I said from the get-go, you have to take the bad w/ the good and this is one of those times.

Great news that everything worked out for your husband. Guess this goes down in the books for a great moment in trucking.
