    I'd say that Saturday delivery is better than a Sunday delivery.

    Unless, of course, a Thursday pickup and a Saturday delivery cannot legally be done given the miles and HOS restrictions. If that's the case, then the broker has some explaining to do. You cannot be held to account if you don't deliver a load on a schedule that cannot be done legally.

    Where in Texas? Be very careful here... Ive run apples LR to Atlanta and it's not quite enough hours down US 79 and 20 to the safeway which is just about 5 miles below CP at the city limit exit and female bars which do not make for a good area.

    I look at brokers reviews every time I see a load and I don't know the broker. Many times the same load is gone by the time my brain tells me "it is ok to call them".
    he says it was agreed for Saturday, but the borker changed it to Sunday. It would piss me off too.
