The rhino turned the van sideways. While both were still in my ###.
Had 3 days inbetween delivery and my load home. Nothing really grabbing in the way of short hauls.
Wait. AH HA!!!! Got a good one. Just dead head back, pick up my load going home, right? Simple.
19 stops. No problem. I thrive on those. I tell captain ##### face I gotta be empty Friday yo. How many of these have hard appointments?
" Oh one or two, all kinds of flexibility." It's like 670 total miles. Pays a lot.
Shipper is 2-1/2 hours behind getting me loaded. 380 miles to first stop. 3 stops first day. So captain erection asks ETA to first drop.
1600. Ok great.
So what does he do? He entrusts the scheduling to the dumbest c in the history of the world.
I walk in. Didn't even stop to take a leak. I see the deer in the headlights look, and it's genuine. " They said you weren't coming until 0800 tomorrow."
Dude takes me, and some of this #### is HEAVY / 200 pounds. Says another 15 minutes he wouldn't have, thank God I have a bladder the size of a cantaloupe.
SO
Drive 100 miles. Camp out Petro Spokane, got this by the ### now right?
Pffffft.
Used my free dinner, had a new York, it was F good too, course when you're hungry out of your mind..............
SO
First stop is 0800 schedule. Three pieces. I have them sitting on dudes door at 0715 when he shows up, signs BOL, have a nice weekend, thanks bye.
REALLY got this by the ### now right?
Pffffffffffft. Enter the dumbest, stupidest c in the known universe.
Go to next appointment. Get there 0805. " Your appointment isn't until 1200." " I told the girl your usual appointment is 1200 to 1400, and she said that would be great..................................................................................................................................................................
"Oh that's a lot. Yea no way I can work you in now, it's just me and one other guy."
Leave there 1300. Go 2 miles, they get 1 box. Leave there go to stop 4.....................................................................................................No one even there. Call dude. I'm telling dude's boss by this time she should have done the world a favor and stayed a bag ##### along with her assistant, dude " Let me try and get a hold of someone." Yea? F, why didn't I think of that. 20 minutes later lady shows up with 3 dudes, "We had no idea you were coming today".
Enter the rhinoceros. In my ###.
SO
End day 2. 6 of 19 complete. 13 left, spread over 300 miles.
Got them all done today except one. Touched every F piece. And the one " You don't have an appointment." He's taking me tomorrow at 1000.
Still lost my good load home. Probably could have pulled it off, but I told agent repost it when dude said he wasn't taking me til noon. She called back like 3 minutes later " Someone took it. it's ok." Yea no ####. 14 calls for that one I'm sure the minute it hit the board.
I shall now drive home empty, with a rhinoceros lodged in my ###.austinmike, sealevel, InTooDeep and 5 others Thank this. -
