Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Change of plans (sorta). Once I got the load out of OR delivered in Geneva, IL, I headed to the new drop yard (new to me), got the load picked up, and stopped at the Pilot to top off the reefer since it was a drop/hook. As I was pulling out, I get a series of messages, 1 - unplanned on my Morris - Ontario load. Then a preplan. At first, I was about to go ballistic. They waited until after I picked up the short run to pull the long run off of me. But someone named Kyle called (not sure if he is a dispatcher or planner). He explained that the shipper cancelled the load, and wondered if I was gonna be able to do the preplan. I explained that I had only had a chance to glimpse at it while at a redlight and that I would look at it once I got this short load to it's consignee. Once I got there, they wanted me to head into WI (180 mile deadhead) and pu by 8, but also had to get a washout. It was pushing 1600, so I said no way with having to go thru Chicagoland afternoon traffic AND get a washout, not a chance. He got the load pu time pushed out until up to 2300, the sooner the better. So now my 14 will be an issue because this shipper is out in the sticks. You get to BFE and hang a left. I managed to get here by 20:50. The load is going to Denton for any time Wednesday. So honestly, it works out better because with the deadhead, it's an 1100 mile run that I can get delivered and scanned in mid week. It will put me just over 3200...then, they preplanned me on a load out of Dallas Wednesday afternoon going to Ontario, CA for an anytime drop on Sunday. (Instead of the earlier Ontario CA load which was a live unload). So, even though at first it seemed like I got screwed, they actually made it work out better...so, if they keep this up, I might end up with an @drvrtech77 type month.
