    I'm still here. They're just now unloading me. Got here at 10am, it's after 4pm.

    I was "late" so I technically can't complain. But they were also late. And being here on-time wouldn't have gotten me or them anything.

    Was hoping to make it to the TA in Tampa, but will likely be hitting rush hour by the time they're done.

    Sitting at the WM shop getting a trailer inspection, complete brake/drums and 4 tires put on, all on a trailer I picked up in San Bernardino Wednesday. Also my plastic hood release handle broke this morning so that being replaced. All this so I can get to Richmond to get my load home so I can go on vacation.

    @MidWest_MacDaddy, Lesli and I decided to cancel the Punta Cana DR trip and replace it with a Cancun trip. Something about her being uncomfortable with a few deaths.

    A lot more than a few. They couldn't pay me to go there on a vacation right now. Sad.

    As far as the dedicated refrigeration contractor comment that's my line of work, used to receive anywhere from 10-18 Abilene at one time and a few odd balls my crew normally had the truck gone less than 20 minutes after bumping the dock. Those that had never delivered to us were generally pleasantly surprised, no dock however always makes it interesting.
