    Held up at my shipper for 5 hours. After I left, the weather turned to poo. So I took it upon myself to just park it rather than go through Louiseville during rush hour with possible slick roads and a very light load

    I take a light load down to Ohio in the wee hours, then I get my load home. I need the time away.

    So my "light load" is scrap aluminum . My appt time was 2pm.
    They stop receiving at 2pm.
    It's crap like this that pushes me to creep towards walking away.
    This effs up my home time too.

    I'd like to know who booked this load and who said to make the appt time 2pm.
    I called last night and told them I couldn't make it in on time, so they said "take your ten, and leave early morning, you'll be there by 2.
    $5 into the BS pot please. They closed at 2pm. So, I'm in line for 6am
    Which means I'm screwed on my lab and doc appt. which means I can't get my platelet meds.

    Why does this always happen when I need to go home?

    It's amazing how people will dig up old threads from years ago just to troll it with those 2 cents.

    I'm glad I made it home, although it's a bit cold. Dropping to -18 last night . Good thing I left her idling.

    I can't read through 180 pages, did you reveal the company yet?

    I just took several hours to read through all 1795 posts. I suppose my page settings are different than most because I show this is page 45.

    Nonetheless, I appreciate wicked for this thread and all of his efforts to keep it going.

    There is no legitimate reason why you "can't". You made the choice not to read through this thread. The answer is "Yes." Wicked has answered that question multiple times. Post # 709 is a good example.
     
    crb and Wickedfire77 Thank this.

    True I could, but had no interest in reading 180 looking for that info, honestly I was being lazy. I found the info on his wall anyway. I'm on my laptop it shows 180 pages. Thank you for the keying me into the reveal.
     
    88 Alpha Thanks this.

    Trying to head off another gout flare with tart cherry juice.
    Spending the night with my wife at a nice hotel with a casino package . I just won $100. Now I'm getting into a hot tub to rest my weary bones from being old .

    @crb, I understand about being lazy. The only reason I could get through all of those pages in a couple of days is because I've been sitting, waiting on some freight to go somewhere, anywhere. Very unusual for me to be sitting with absolutely no plan or movement over a weekend when I'm not home.

    Quite frankly, I had not realized the company name is mentioned several times on Wicked's profile page until you brought it up. Never occurred to me to look at it. It's perfectly fine tho. I enjoy reading about people's success.
