    Ugh, I'm already having a bad morning and it's only 0630. Came in early to get a little ahead on things since I have a rehab appointment today. I stopped by the shop to find that two of my trucks are parked down there with service write ups. Of course I have both of these scheduled for early loads out of Old Fort that they won't make. Wish the two drivers had called and let me know they were having issues so I could've worked out a different plan, but what's done is done. Juggled my board to get those loads covered but all I've really done is bought about six hours for the shop. As soon as the shop manager gets in I'm going to have to pray with him over these two units. Downside to Holidays...crap gets all screwy when you come back.

    More later...

    Quick way to get on the bad side of your dispatcher. Got to keep your dispatcher informed or you get on the SFM (short ####ing miles) list.
