    If I can get in touch with him tomorrow I will see how they handled it. From what I recall his wife (who doesn’t take any BS and was his dispatcher) handled it through the broker. I will check with him and see if my memory is accurate.

    Thats probably the route you need to take. He said they dealt directly with the Captain. He just replied to my text.

    I did some research and looks like there are plenty of ways to correct this. Seems like the military take accountability seriously.

    We still aren’t swimming, but grilling and drinking beer are much easier than the last grilling by the pool pic I posted. IMG_6772.jpeg

    Fortunately most of it is gone after several nice days last week. The store parking lots still have huge piles but the 60’s and 70’s we are getting this week will help melt those.

    Trailer is fixed now and it was highway robbery. Now I have been sitting at a truck stop and my dispatch is saying there aren’t any good loads. This is the part of heavy haul that is the most painful to me. The waiting for a load and more often than not, not getting loaded that day. How do you deal with lost days?
