    I'm at the J in Pembroke NY.

    I selected a spot next to the spot with the lightpole, so I'll only have one knucklehead to contend with this morning.

    A ####ing reefer pulls in next to me......
    WTF IS this crap? It's like there's a sticker on the back of every trailer I pull that says "REEFER PARKING ONLY", with an arrow to each side.

    ZOMG! HE JUST DROPPED THE TRAILER!?!

    I gotta go get something for dinner.......

    It’s a pretty good bet that trailer is toast. It looks twisted up like a corkscrew.

    I took this pic this morning on the way to get my updated CDL with my Hazmat back on it. Big Boy getting ready to leave the depot in Prescott, Ar after spending the night there. An impressive machine.

    That is impressive.

    It’s nice to see a steam engine still working.

    Ok.

    I may have lost composure.
    Another driver.. called and told me my load, told returns me back to Hope Ar, canceled.
    I told him that was news to me, so I called up and asked what was going on, no answer.
    So I hung up, no voicemail,and just pulled into Frontenac KS, at receiver of 2nd brown rice load.
    In my hour of thinking and knowing the load was given to another person, the broker, then texts me, about another load, I’d have to DH 100 more miles, hold it til Monday delivery, if I went home, drag it 185 miles out of the way, and go from 67/ton, to 36/ton, for 90 miles shorter, unless you add all the DH and outta route or just stay in a truck all weekend for a 6 hour ride.
    That you’re getting bent over the tanks on to begin with.

    So he didn’t like my two letter response.
    “F U.”

    I’ll either find another load, or DH this thing to the house, 331 mile, but I won’t haul that load.
    Am I wrong?
    I don’t think so.
