    Does the consignee in Zeeland accept more than one of these 'tater loads a day?

    Was in, loaded, and out in an hour. While I was waiting for my paperwork, Lincoln calls me and asks if I am gonna make it to my delivery on time.(And it wasn't the Princess). I told them that I was already loaded and just about to pick up the bills, and said that if the receiver had an earlier appointment, I could be there Monday afternoon. She said "that's what we like to hear, I will inquire and let you know". And that was the last thing I heard. I will pester the Princess in the morning. Thanks to the early loading, I made it to the rest area east of Columbus, MT. I was actually gonna stay at the Town Pilot Pump in Columbus, but they have blocked off all the parking across the street next to the McD's and are building something. So there is only a handful of parking spots behind the motel next door.

    They couldn't handle it if I were traded to them...I don't have a PC filter and don't own kid gloves...so they would get their precious feelings hurt and have to sulk in the corner any time we spoke.

    Nothing like sitting at the Loves for 3 hours waiting on a tire change..
    I tried calling it in from a rest area,but got the 4 callers ahead of you for a hour…..so.

    And the not so funny thing about it is that if they get a road service call, you will sit and wait even longer.

    Maybe the shop guys need to get a reminder message like the ones we get just before a scale, only they get it when they're entering a trailer inspection into the system. "Our records indicate you just completed a trailer inspection...tire violations are our #1 violation, did you verify all 8 tires are properly inflated and have legal tread?"

    If I had a trailer like that, I'm affraid I would have to be rather snippy when I sent the pictures to Lincoln...I would ask them if they're sure we drivers are the ones that need to be reminded to do their job every chance management gets.
