    Nightmare load. 14hrs at shipper. Holiday traffic all the way down to Waco. Then 7hrs at receiver. And a $475 lumper fee. Because of the delays I lost my preplan that was supposed to get me home Sunday.

    Oh, and 2 pallets of OSD (over) that they shoved back on the trailer. Now I'm in limbo til the planner figures out that this is a holiday weekend and she isn't going to find anybody to take the dog food til Monday. Them maybe she'll let me drop this trailer at the Dallas yard. But by then it'll probably be too late to get me another load back to Indy by Sunday.

    Trucking 101, indeed--all business is to be conducted between 0900 and 1700, Monday through Friday, except holidays.

    Zoomie, given your luck in trucking, I'd consider going back to selling cars. I pray you're being compensated for this debacle.

    Man o man, it seems every company you work for is getting worse. My job has problems but nothing compared to yours, but then again I would never apply to those companies.

    My company had me deadhead back to our yard in MI from Knoxville on Wednesday after waiting 2.5 hrs for them to find me a load. I still didn't get home until Thursday morning, but I did get home.

    I'm behind schedule because of all the delays on the last load, but I'll end up in Indy a day late.

    Found a place for The Hot Chick. And our wayward offspring.

    No car yet though.

    Blew the car budget (and then some) getting the place.

    It's 1,000 times better than we thought we'd find, and it looks like we won't need a car full time right away.

    Investment.
