    I typically don’t book OS loads unless I’ve worked with them before.

    And if I do, only order the first state just in case dims change.

    This guy sounds like a piece of work. Denver area code, but probably out of the country?

    I would have canceled the load immediately once he started screaming at me.

    I got in my truck to drive to bremerton for the TONU possibly, but common sense kicked in. I emailed his boss and dispatch, shot them the texts and emails he sent and told them that everyone can have a #### day, just don’t take it out on the guys and gals that allow your business to flow. Manager wasn’t much help on getting reimbursed for permits, but one we go. Why argue or fight when it’s a perfectly good day to do some maintenance on the trailer.

    Gawd forbid if in that situation you as the driver starts being the Karen first lol.
    I love how they can show anger etc towards you but if you start that attitude forget about it. But you should've been up driving at 7am

    Thanks, much appreciated. It’s A-1 Transportation, Brian Maniscalco, broker. MC 374753. Probably was having a terrible day somewhere else. But prefer work on some maintenance today and maybe get my left shoulder some sun so I don’t have a left arm truckers tan. If it started out that way, my experience is that is wasn’t going to be a smooth trip.

    I like how you just “flow.” Almost like an old school 1970’s coolness. Well done.
