    Nope but heard of the one that got out his gun and shot the driver.

    So... dsp gave me a load that will easily take 43 driving hrs + fuel stops + daily pre trips to be delivered next Wed morning... And I have only 39:57 from my 70 and gaining hrs on Tuesday... And this truck doesn't go faster than 65 mph... except when going down...
    But not a problem...
    Will call broker tomorrow and will tell them when I can be there... Possibly on Wed in the afternoon... after my reset... and will confirm that on Tuesday...
    Receiver is very strict about appt and protocols...

    I hear you man... Unfortunately there seem to be more and more of those out there nowadays... :biggrin_2552:
    Sorry your day wasn't very good today... But hey, at the end of the day, you are OK, the truck too... That's a reason to be thankful... :biggrin_25519:
    I wish you a much better day tomorrow... :yes2557:

    In the real world (not trucking!) people are glad it's Friday.
    I have mixed feelings.
    So much needs doing. So little time/money to do what needs doing,

    Carry on.
     
    Rocks Thanks this.

    So first off I went to Conroe to get two pallets 400# that you can barely tie down (fragile and crushable) and took them to SDV.
    Picked up a 205# crate for Cargolux from SDV.
    Picked up a 314# Hazmat crate at Murphy for Air France where I am now waiting for the paperwork to be done.
