    Ya, those brokered loads can get interesting for sure... I wasted a whole day on one last week.... over gross by 5k and they were closed before I returned. So I sat for the night... but I got to walk down to a bar/restaurant for dinner and watch the Cubbies win.

    Sounds like you handled it right.

    Anyone ever been to Nordic Cold Storage(Flowers Foods) in ATL? Yeah, been here 9hrs 43mins and just received my paperwork. I guess my inner zombie will come out as I drive all night to make it to the consignee before delivery..
    Red bull and crack (just kidding) here I come.

    Maybe a month ago I saw phone pics of a team truck that blew a steer and suffered pretty extensive damage, couldn't tell from the pic whether it had rolled though. Occupants were OK though which is what matters.

    I spent 17hrs there a few months ago. How many times did that old Chinese guy knock on your door to give you a carryout menu?.

    I was going to whine about my current broker load that has an extra 30+ hours on it, but you win man, you win.

    If you ever wind up there again stick the menu in the driver's window after his first visit.
