So I made it home after some stern words from me via the qualcomm to my company. I tried all day Monday to get in contact with my dispatcher and no response to messages or voicemail. I was getting unloaded in Atlanta which is about 400 miles from home. I assumed after that load I would be sent home .... nope I get two load assignments sending me into North Carolina and getting me home Friday.
I was upset, angry and heartbroken all in one shot ... I was going to miss my grandmothers funeral .....
I typed up a qualcomm message letting them know my frustrations and how upset I was that I would not be able to make it and that I did not get responses to my messages and voicemails. This was around 1830 Eastern Time so night dispatch was already in and everyone in the office was already gone. Within 10 minutes my phone rings ...... it was the Vice President of the company. Blew me away. He apologized profousily for me not getting a response to my calls and messages. He cancelled the two loads that were assigned to me and told me to safely get myself home.
During the day today my dispatcher called me and he apologized for everything too. He was not in the office yesterday and had no idea what was going on. Apparently whoever was covering his drivers did not check his messages.
In the end I made it home just after 0300 and had to be at the church at 0900 for the services.
I was prepared to miss the services but my family was saying all along that I will be there. They are religious and prayed and thier prayers were answered.
I am going to take a few days off to help clean up the house and sort her belongings then get back on the road early next week.
On a side note I got my first ticket! I was stopped in South Carolina for a bridge law violation. They measured and I was at 42' 5" and in South Carolina can not be more than 41'. I didn't realize I was that spread out ... got a ticket for $100 ... if not paid within 28 days it goes up to $232.
