    Creative is one way to describe this crazy multi stop trip I am on. The driver I got it from tried telling me how it got screwed up, but 5 minutes into the explanation my head started spinning and I figured it was better not knowing, just hook, roll and get there when I get there.

    Well, sitting on the Richmond Yard... nothing planned to get me home... family in town and planned on HT starting tomorrow... called in... nothing on you, check back in the morning...

    So I start looking for an empty to take home with me... can't find an empty that isn't red tagged.... so I called back in...

    "hey, can you tell me if we have any empties on the yard?"

    "what truck are you in?"

    (looks up truck number)

    "but you're not under a plan"

    "I know, but I have HT starting in the morning so I thought I would just take an empty home with me so I'm ready come Monday"

    "Let me send an email to see if I can get you a load"

    "Ok, works for me thanks" :rolleyes:

    Finish a deadhead move to Boar's Head in Groveport and drop an empty reefer.

    Then this happens all at once:

    Got empty yesterday in Jacksonville and then headed home. I want to say thank you to those drivers that are staying out over the holiday to make sure the rest of us get home. Thank you! Be safe, and I for one am very grateful for the gesture. Those of you home, enjoy your holiday with your family and friends.
