    You didn’t happen to run through Louisville on 64 to get there did you?

    Listening to messages while driving is becoming a distraction. They’re going to have to wait until I stop to open them.

    I never get messages like that...looks like your A/M is like Deland's #2 when he's #####in about idle time, just gotta prove they're earning their paycheck...I would just tell Lincoln that, unless you say your not gonna make an OTD, that all messages pertaining to On Time Deliveries will be ignored, and not to take it personally.

    Personally, I am waiting for a #####in from Lincoln as we speak. I had a 23:00 delivery appointment last night up by the KC airport, which took 4 hours to unload once I hit the dock. My next pu it one of those special 'must drive 200 miles before stopping' loads, so, the only way I could comply with both is split log. I left the KC yard a little after 21:00 last night, got back to the yard a little after 03:00, now I am putting in 7 in the bunk so I have hours to drive once loaded.

    Now you're getting the picture of why I get so testy with dispatch...I want their 1st thought to be, before he(they) bug me with useless bullspit is..."Do I really want or need to poke this bear right now?"

    Driving nights/sleeping days. I pull up one of those eight hour white noise YouTube videos and just after the midpoint get awakened by a Crete recruitment ad. My first thought was “…not the drone you’re looking for…” but sadly I probably am.
