Cobra was taken... By Holland Enterprises

Sent a message out this morning and I am getting layover pay for this load.

 

Yesterday was a nightmare. I started in Mississippi and it was smooth sailing, sunny, and in the 40s to begin with. Once I got to Monroe, LA I came to a complete stop for about 2 hours because they were still clearing accidents from the road from the storm. For some reason, the local police decided to let everyone just jam up instead of directing traffic off the highway. I would have sat there longer, but I was finally able to exit off I-20 and hop on US-80 to get around it. At this point I was not going to make my delivery appointment in Denton so I let dispatch know and decided to drive a bit to get away from the worst of the aftermath and find somewhere to park. There was still another jam that was moving about 2mph for a while after that too. Turns out there was a bridge with a 6in layer of ice in part of the left lane so everyone was taking it slow to get across that. After that, it was pretty smooth sailing again but the temp started to get below freezing so I was cautious about black ice. Never saw a single truck salting the road all night either. After checking 4 truck stops that were packed so full you would think they're hiding from a monster that eats truckers, the 5th truck stop had a spot for me. I got a message this morning that my delivery was rescheduled so hopefully I can finally get this load off tonight. No preplan yet.

 

Just made it to Denton and I'm in a door already - 2.5hrs before my appointment. But it's a grocery warehouse so being in a door doesn't necessarily mean anything lol. I'm not holding my breath.

I got my preplan earlier before I got here. Pick up in Dallas going to Grandview, WA. 40 miles empty and 1913 loaded.
