    I believe I read a ways back that they prefer you don’t chain, do they let you run around a problem area if you see it’s gonna be trouble or just shut down?? Also it sounds like y’all got a lot of the same customers every time, is that about right??

    Usually I just shut down. Occasionally i will go around if feasible. They don't really seem to bother you about routing except a few toll roads and extreme hills they don't want us on like I 80 east of Salt Lake or I 70 over the pass in CO. Yes we do a lot of repeat customers which I'm starting to like. I think it mostly depends on you and your dispatcher or where you live.

    Took a roll of the dice and got to my pick up early. They didn't let me in until my appt time..ahh balls. No big deal, have time on this load. Dal Tile in Dallas. I haven't picked up here before. They have a lounge with restrooms :blob: that's always a good thing.

    They usually want us to shut down, also we do repeat customers, it’s run from Salt Lake out east then boomerang back to Salt Lake City, I enjoy having the same customers because it makes it easier to get in and out. Build a report with the customers and cuts back on waiting
