    This is correct. Unfortunately the software doesn't allow you to go back and change board positions after the fact. This is a good thing, if it was easy to change board position it would open up a whole can of worms of coordinators and agents tampering with the board positions.

    In skates specific case, someone screwed up, but there is no way to fix it now. But honestly, one screw up in five years is not a bad track record and once he calms down a bit I'm sure he will realize it's not worth quitting over one mess up.

    Blunt honest truth? I'd suggest you forget everything you knew about that dog grooming business. Nothing about it carries over to trucking. with the exception of tax deductible expenses, I don't see how any experience in one translates to the other.

    Louisville can fix this (not the agent or the coordinator) if they want to, I guess we will see if one good truck is worth overriding a good agents poor decision. I hope you are important enough for them skate.

    like you said, wait for spring, let the emotions die down

    @CJndaTruck if you had a stepdeck you could've got your golden Alaska run. Check the board outta Texarkana.

    You would lose your butt on those loads. In guessing you haven't priced the toll for that ferry. In June you can drive it, in January you take the ferry.

    Spyder, do you ferry from Vancouver up? And then back I would assume? Is that more than a day on the ferry.

    Yep. Round trip figure a week by the time you go deliver then come back and wait on the next boat. remember tho, they have accommodations. It's not the cruise ship, but it's decent enough. food and a bed, what else do you need?
     
    kjoseph Thanks this.

    couldn't find the vancouver ferry, but from Bellingham WA to Haines AK round trip without a cabin to sleep in is just short of $12,000 for 65' long vehicle 12' high. Bigger and it costs more.

    Wow. That would eat up Hasle right there. I think you would just have to want to do it to go there.
