    Yep... dreaded attachment bug introduced the last time they upgraded the forum.

    Tucson tonight at the TTT. A day early, so it's over to Thermo King first thing in the AM for some serious APU fixin' (as opposed to the amateur efforts at the yard)... then on to my receiver. "Oh really? Imagine that, a day early??? How did that happen???? How about you work me in anyway!!!"

    Get some skin in the game, and you won't sit so much- but you'll hate it more. Not that company guys sit any more than L/Os do. Don't believe me? Next time you're in Springfield, arrange to visit the load planners in sales.

    Rest area east of Quartzite AZ... heading for a p/u in Victorville CA tomorrow afternoon.

    How bad was the wait on that one, last time I was there I sat for 18 hours and they only had to pay 120 minutes of my detention time

    The Victorville load got cancelled after I arrived at the shipper. It was AFU from the start, hadn't been picked, etc. So normally I'd be hacked over it, but I'm rather glad they threw in the towel early on this one. The PP is in Chino in the AM is just plain awesome! I'd hate to miss this one!!

    At the PEElot in Hesperia.

    IBM in Vermont, made it here but didn't have hours to run the rest of the load, already knew there was no way this was going to make it from Illinois to Vermont (that leg made it on time) to hope well New York by 1500 today...the guy I was talking to here this morning took of for another load, then ended up coming back to repower me (in hindsight we were both thinking he shoulda waited when he came back)
