I'm here at Swift.

Yup that sounds like Filthadelphia allright!! God I hate the east coast! Glad Swifty seems to be treating ya allright there Mario!

 

Can you call the customer and ask? That's what we've done in the past even if it says apt only.

 

Almost every time I tried that at CELADORK i got told NO and then got jacked up by dispatch for bothering the reciever.

 

Really? It was our OTR DM that taught us to do it. Only once have we gotten fussed at by anyone and it was a security guard that I spoke to. He said "doesn't matter how cute you are you'll get told no just like a male driver". I thought that was funny since I was on the phone with him. How'd he know if I was cute or not? LOL

 

Well this was after I had rammed about four loads in a row down the recievers throats lying my ### off( actually only at 1) that I had been told I had an appointment. You gotta realize that this was when I lost my patience with Chittedon they were giving me 700 mile runs and a week to do them in and telling me I couldn't drop them early at a drop yard and they wouldnt even TRY to get an earlier appointment. They forgot that some of the loads actually had broker numbers on them also in the quallcomm, so I called the broker a couple of time and the Load planners got a bit .....oh shall we say UPSET that I circumvented them. When I get mad I can be downright EVIL

 

yeah I called a receiver today and asked about early delivery. Scored a 22 hour early delivery yay. But the took a long time to unload so I had to figure out where to spend the night. Could have made it to a truck stop not too far from the final destination however traffic was terrible so I made it to a rest stop a few miles after a scale and yes Murphy's Law did kick in and prepass beeped red and I was freaking out about the time. Driving time today: 10:45 miles 503.
