    Interesting, passport, they tell you to wait and told George they need him to drive his full time! Of course he is under a load, which isn't being swapped, because too many people are taking off for Thanksgiving. So, the ones who aren't have to carry the slack. Seems you should be moving now too. ...secondary DM?
     
    passport220 Thanks this.

    Getting the dumbest preplan that no way I can make OTD and that means I would sit til Friday. Have explained it in minute detail but they are either playing dumbbor are just plain plum dumb. So instead of sleeping I am going back and forth with them. Getting very frustrated not only is this week terrible but about to lose money and not be home for the holiday. Pure stupidity at its best. Rant over

    I shall continue where you left off. After looking at preplans of 1,300 and 1,500 miles, having those fall away and then sitting around after the "no load" message, I was sent to shag some trailers. Like 14 miles to AB Newark, then bobtail to Thermo King to pick one up.

    Ran out of hours , now stopped half way to drop off the TK one and then pick up another empty in Spring Grove, PA. Yes, drop one empty to pick up another, so we all know there will be something wrong with the one I pick up. Then the plan is for me to wait around 24 hours and do a swap so I can drive less than 100 paid miles to make the swap driver's delivery.

    I gave night dispatch the news that I will refuse if that comes out as the final dispatch tomorrow. Likely a big fight with my regular DM in the morning. Rant likely just starting.
