    There's still good weekend loads just nowhere near me lol.
    I've been looking for days knowing I'd be empty today in the middle of nowhere of Kansas.. there was nothing.
    Soooo I waited hoping Schneider would throw something up half decent somewhat nearby.
    NOPE! So I ended up deadheading to Kansas city over 200 miles.

    LMAO!

    I didn't book a load yet so they don't know my plans.
    I'm trying to decide if snow is worth the more money.

    Hope you changed your NAL or you might be in for a big surprise. I booked a load and positioned myself only to get word that the load "cancelled". Booked a new load only to be told to drop mty 150 miles behind me then bobtail 150 miles to pickup. Asked them to figure something else out or take me off load. Now taking mty to pick up point.

    I changed my NAT to tomorrow.
    To change my NAL I'd have to call in which at this time means holding for 30+ min lol.
    Good idea though, if I waited till tomorrow to book for same I see how that could caused me an issue.
    The computer would think I'm 200+ miles away from where I would actually be at.
    I had a brain fart there

    question, when schneider bought out builders transport back in the day did they keep any of the terminals or drop yards builders used? or just their customer base, i know they didn't keep the equipment so i was wondering what they actually acquired. i was curious cuz builders was actually my first driving job.
