    I will try both, whichever gets results. I think somewhere (orientation) there is a miscommunication to newbies on this topic. I sure didn't pull the idea out of thin air. My dispatcher is Karen but she got her info from Kimberly because she did not know the policy either. Thanks again for response:)

    Should have left it sticking out to ward off those numpties that like cutting in front of trucks.

    I thanked this because I've never seen or heard the term "numpties" before and anything that gets me to giggle like that in front of my wife deserves recognition.

    My first truck when I got into this business was a 1984 spring ride, single axle, International 9670 cabover.

    Today's yard goats ride better than that thing did...lol.

    That's only one customer. Hope you scaled the load at the Pilot up the street, Sabra is notorious for loading a 25k load and being overweight on your drives.
     
    gpf87 and ExtremeUnction Thank this.

    ^^^^ I did not . Thanks for the heads up though, I'll scale asap .

    Got lucky with an easy 20 minute drop/hook. Met some drivers there that say they were waiting over 5 hours for a live load ? Not sure if that's true or not but they seemed disgruntled

    Usually it's a D/H. Sometimes we wait, but not usually.
