    Typically I try never to speak negative about any collective group of people....I know that a few idiots can bring down the reputation off a group. But NEVER.....NEVER.... have I met a collection of complete incompetent, ignorant, rude and lazy individuals as there are in Memphis.

    At the Pilot in Van Horn, TX. Grabbed an 8600 lb load of vacuum cleaners from El Paso to the Lowe's DC in Minersville, PA. 2000 miles, doesn't deliver til Tues the 12th. My first thought was to pass (do not need 5 days to do 2K miles), but since I'm still sick I decided that 4 days of "rolling rest" might not be a bad idea.

    And getting 9 MPG doesn't hurt!

    Lots going to PA, I guess.

    I'm in Harrisburg, or something.

    I was supposed to deliver this morning at 0700, but a late dispatch and a longer fuel route fouled that up.
    Got there at 1230, but receiving was just closing. I was told that I was scheduled for 0500 tomorrow.
    I was also told that Swift knows their hours, but I was told by Swift that I could deliver anywhere between this morning at 0700 until tomorrow at 0500.

    I sent the Mac5 when I got here, and have yet to receive a message saying that 2 hours have expired.
    So, they knew before hand. I hate being kept out of the loop.

    At least I have a load out of here tomorrow.
     
    Bigdubber Thanks this.

    Florence, KY. No pplan in site, and I think that my PTA was moved out since can nto get MAC 30. Another typical Sat del, and the DM does not care. Let ECT worry about it Saturday, and being PA, not sure which ECT. I have this feeling, Memphis.
