    Meh.

    About what I figured.

    “You want a load Friday, that Delivers Sunday at 0800, Lebanon, TN.”

    The Judge, “Not really, No.”

    “It’s got a good rate. 7.167/mile”

    Judge “How’d we start getting thousandths into rates? The other day it was ten-thousandths. The Judge doesn’t like that.”

    So.
    Was, 7 Tenths of a mile away yesterday afternoon, for my 0800.
    Turns out, they’ve been shut down for 3 days.
    We’ve got trucks that’ve checked in and left, and they’re ahead from the weekend, we’ll get to you, as soon as we can.

    I knew better, but fell for it again.
    Everything told me not to do it.

    Still there.
    Only 1 truck parked in there now, of course they’re closed this early on a sunday.
    Had to turn right at that light right before the mexican restaurant and go a block passed americold, All Reefer drivers favorite places, and go to Deadend and here i sit.

    May have to back inside and tell them, “I’m New.”
    Everyone has told me that at shippers and receiving thinking that makes everything ok, I’ll see if it works.

    Desperate times call for desperate measures. Plus it’s not really a dumb idea if it works.

    Before.

    After I went back inside and said, “Man, I’ve only been doing this, this past week, How long you think this will take, because they said I can go home when I get empty until Monday, which is only tomorrow, and if it’s going to be a while, I’ll probably be stuck out for 3-4 weeks until they get me somewhere close to home.

    Dude said he’d only been here 3 weeks his self, come on in, he’d get things started.

    Deceitful? :dontknow:

    Pretty sure no one in the history of modern OTR trucking has ever slept like that.
