    We were suppose to get unloading in Cheyenne yesterday at 12pm but before you go over there you have to call the guy in charge, so we do and he tells us we're back up come over at 2pm, (it's a job site for Mircosoft) so we go over at 2pm just as a huge thunderstorm starts up, at the jobsite we wait for almost 2 hrs for them just to com over and tell us and the other Conway driver that they were shutting down for the day because it's just too muddy,so we had to come back today and it took 45 mins to get unloaded. Crazy day it was !! Hoping it doesn't take 6 hrs at the Bud plant LOL

    We were there for 8 hrs, that place is a mess. Get to guard shack and scale and guard says ok got your weight,so hubby asks go where do I go now, guard: Umm I don't know, here's a map that will show you where to check in at, the spotters will tell you what dock, hubby goes to where it says on the map but see no door to check in at like the guard said so he asks a spotter where he's suppose to go and he tells us there is no door and not sure where he needs to be so just go and sit it the lot, someone will get him when they start looking, so we sat for about 35 mins before spotter came and gave a dock door and then it took 3 hrs to load us, we go to scale out thinkin awesome we can still get down the road some before running out of time, look and the weight # and it reads 81000, holy cow, WHY if they scale you when you go in do they still put to much product on, the guard then asks ok so are you happy with that number??? Umm hello not legal !! So they have us go to dock 52 to get a pallet taken off and we sit there for 2 hrs waiting for them to take 1 pallet off, and the whole we sit there, there's a guy next to us talking on the phone very loud upset because it's taking so long and that we started getting work on before him and he was there 1st. Go to scale for 2nd time and over alittle but just had to slide tandems, got back work pulled forward to the side to send in loaded message and pull brake and a air line pops so we spent the rest of our time waiting for a repair truck to come and fix us. Suppose to have this load in Longview,TX by 630am but not going to happen waiting on new ETA. Hope everyone else to having a better week !! Stay safe :biggrin_255:

    Upper Sandusky (just north of Lower Sandusky) Ohio. Dropping load in Tiffin, OH and then on to Taylor to pick up a new Baby Trucker. Vacation and chemo over, I think I need to be retrained.

    Got new FM, 4th this year and I never requested a change. Me thinks OPs is having some troubles. Miles have been decent so, don't have any issues with whoever is on the other end of the QC.

    Well, be safe you all.
