They changed our plan. We dropped the Mexico mo load at craftsmen. We're supposed to run a load to aldi by 11 tonight but it's not even here yet. Then we gotta deliver danville il 22:00 tomorrow night then bounce home. So we got a long gap of sitting around cuz it's only like 4 hours from here to danville.

 

Now we had to just disregard the aldi load. The driver stopped in Effingham at 17:00 and took his 10hr break knowing that the load was supposed to be dropped at craftsmen and also be delivered by 23:00 tonight. He started in ohio with the load and a fresh clock this morning. Dispatch said he would've had enough hours to have made craftsmen. Wow and double wow.

 

Wonder why he stopped that short.

 

I guess it’s true what they say.. you can do anything you want on your last day!

 

According to dispatch his excuse was they didn't tell him they were gonna have someone else deliver it on time. He for some reason thought they were just gonna reschedule it. But they had sent him a message like they would've sent to any of us if we would've told them we couldn't make it cuz of what he deemed to be an hours of service issue. They gave instructions to drop it at craftsmen and the load info showed it was due at customer at 23:00. I personally always interpret that as get it to craftsmen asap cuz the load still has to deliver even if i can't deliver it myself.

 

Yep his new instructions were to come through the yard today for a sit down conversation. I seen the guy parked in the front row at Effingham when i stopped for fuel this morning. I didn't stop to talk to him though.
