    Sitting at the TA in Wytheville waiting to get into the shop to have a brake can replaced. Should be thankful this load to get me home on Monday has time on it so I can take care of this issue. I’m in a good space so I’m not gonna go off on the “driver” that dropped it like this. It’s all good.

    RC, tell me one driver that doesn’t. This driver starts his day doing it and usually ends it the same way. Lol.

    You should be in our office in the mornings.

    “Why do I have to go here, when that guy is going right there??”

    “Why do I have more inside deliveries than that guy??”

    “This is going to an airplane hangar. I can’t get in there. Needs a straight truck!!”

    Yup. Just about all day, just about every day. There are those few and far between days when it's sunny, 75, the world is good, and dispatch isn't being stupid. Those are the ones that keep us all going.
