    Dude, I'm only trucking 2.5 years and I already know what's coming. With the time you been on the road? You probably wrote 85% of it. :rolleyes: ... ;)

    No offence, JB, but if that had happened to me, I'd been called all sorts of names on here.

    Not by me. I get a phone call from the load planner, then a text from my DM, in capital letters telling me no go. I'm a good company boy, I do what I'm told, even if it means running between 2 exits on US 78 in Alabama.

    I didn't mean to insinuate that you would. But, there are others on here who would in a heartbeat.

    We're down for a 10 in Knoxville. Gonna be late, but my DM was working on getting my appointment delayed a couple of hours. Then, still have to deliver this busted up trailer to Norfolk. Then, with any luck, a load to WM for a PM. THEN, Houston bound. (I hope.)

    Well, I already "volunteered" to help keep freight moving while y'all are at the meeting.

    Why would anyone be called names for doing their job? Gets a phone call; he turns around. Gets a txt msg; he turns around. Simple.
