    Is there a super secret to get a load out of this place? Unfortunately, the entire truck stop is full of reefers.

    If the boss sends me down here again, I'm going to gave to find a place to park with in walking distance of the beach.

    Oops, yea. We use a broker, but I think ye needs to upshift a gear and get me moving a little faster. Or a layover at the beach would be ok

    You're within a stones throw of Wimauma and can't find anything outbound for a reefer, sounds like dispatch needs to investigate a little harder, agreed 123456?

    The boss relies on the same broker too much.
    A broker lady walked into the J a few hours ago and mention she has a load in the morning. If it was gone, she was sure she could find another.

    I'll see how this plays out.

    Me thinks your boss is working with the wrong people--this is one of the few times of year reefer freight is good in Fl--or might be your boss and broker knows--rates go up tommorrow and Sat morning--or could be it is where you are trying to go?
    Besides spuds are running hard out of Hastings--
