    What's the going rate a day for sitting on a load the agent messed up on I took a load then my coordinator called me and said the load need to be delivered by 1130 I said I couldn't make that take me off she called back because the agent said you can just call when you are loaded and let them know the time you'll be there and they will reschedule the appointment so I did Come to find out they will be doing inventory the rest of the week and won't unload me

    P.S. Still sitting at shipper

    I can be a prick when it comes to things like this. So don't shoot yourself in the foot but it will cost you to sit. I tend to stand my ground and have gotten $750 for sitting a day. But I shoot for $500 by saying $1000.

    Is your fan below the top of your headache rack?

    Well I got my kingpins replaced two weeks ago and had a front end alignment done. Hoping it would stop the bad tire wear on the steers. The truck is driving straight. But the compound on the inner tread is real soft and wearing too quickly. So, tomorrow after I pick up I'll get new steers in charollette NC.

    Middle I left room for the fan to get air. I'm thinking of raising it to above the headache rack.
