    So im sitting in commerce ga for 30 hours or so waiting to go pick up my next load. I get a call from dispatch telling me this other driver cant make his appt on time and the only way it can be done is if they relay it to me. I say thats fine as its in florida and i could swing by the house. 3 am delivery but owell. So dispatch tells me the driver is 180 miles away that i need to be ready and give him a call.
    I call him and i ask him if he knows where i am and he says ya commerce ga but what exit so i tell him 147 at the flying j.
    As im waiting i fill up to about 3/4(big mistake) and unhook and wait for this driver. 3 hours go by i call him, no answer. I let dispatch know and that the loads prob gonna be late cause the dudes mia. A hour after that he calls me ands says hes at exit 146 at the pilot on 75. Wtf is that. 4 hours ago he was 180 miles away and now hes 155 miles away. So screw it now hes on the way i need to go so i go meet him.
    I get there and hes in a pete with a 44k load and tells me i need to be at no more than 3/8 of a tank. Im at 3/4 lol. Soo we switch i get it weighed its to heavy, dispatch tells me to try moving the fith wheel, i told them i never done it but ill figure it out. In the backround i hear her laugh and say this driver doesnt know how to move a 5th wheel and says i cant believe hes in a truck. I hang up on her ### and move the 5th wheel reweigh still overweight. This trailer also has a tire with low pressure and a mudflap missing. The other driver tells me he hit something and dispatch told him not to get it fixed cause hes running late. He also tells me a bunch of garbage that he owes jbs 2k cause of advances.

    Anyways breakdown calls me to tell me the other driver said the weights are good. I asked him does he want me to take a #### picture of the scale tickets lol. So he puts me through back to night dispatch and they say just to switch trailers again and go pick up the load i had before this relay came up. In the time i was scaling the load the other driver goes and fills his tank after i tell him its heavy i gotta call dispatch lol. He doesnt wanna give me the empty back lol. Finally i get my empty back and get to my load at 5am. What a bunch of bs this is. That other driver is a moron at best. The whole thing is screwed. Thx for listening to me vent but this stuff is a joke. Earlier in the week was just as bad but u guys would think im making it up. Hope you guys are doin better than i. Lol i know you are . Goodnight/goodmorning im goin to sleep this off

    Agree with Adder..be glad you didnt end up overweight in a scale house. When all was said and done, it worked out in your favor.
