    That seems to be true as I saw Stan out there with a contractor last week.

    Maybe 2500 new trailers was a little higher priority...

    Finally under our first TNT load and we get assigned a load that cannot possibly make it on time. Made sure to tell them before we accepted it wasn't gonna be on time. The response was no other team loads and they will monitor. Headed to South Carolina. Yay!

    Tonight I'm wondering if I'm gonna make it. Nope I'm Okay but I'm gonna be here forever in TNT we keep getting messed up loads that make us sit a day.

    At our scheduled appt time and they say we are 24 hrs early. Does this happen often. I thought we were supposed to be a team truck and this week we've only got a bit under 3500. Is this normal? Thanks guys!

    Depends on the F/M as they are probably trying to make sure you are able to drive 9-10 hrs at a time. They don't want to push the truck if your driving indurance is not built up yet.

    Thanks that I understand. This appt crap is lost on me. Night dispatch sent message asking if we were unloaded just now. Ummm no. They refused and you told us to sit on it and even suggested 2 places to shut down. Lovely day coming. Tomorrow will be better. :)

    TnT lesson no. 1. Most (but not all) night and weekend dispatchers are useless meat bags.

    TnT lesson no. 2. Sometimes you can get worked in at the convenience of the client. It's their facility and schedule, and you're asking them to do you a favor.

    TnT lesson no. 3. If you don't wheedle your way in early, tough. The appointment is when you're supposed to be there.
