    My mother used to say that very thing every time we would come home from an outing.

    After two hrs sitting at that shipper they finally gave up and sent me another load picking up at Target place in Port Wentworth going to NC then hook an empty and deadheading me to the yard to get this fridge replaced, hopefully anyway. 860 fridge not terribly hard to replace. Guess they couldn't get Knight to answer, lol!

    I don’t blame them for using email or IM.
    I want a record of what was said. I’ve been thrown under the bus before just having the used the phone when I worked in operations.

    I can understand that being ops gets thrown under the bus quite frequently Im sure and gotta CYA. Ill admit I was probably wrong for blaming our ops when it was probably Knight being difficult.

    85 north was shutdown for a bit due to a big tree falling across both lanes. Driver in the day cab next to me was raging and shaking his steering wheel so bad I thought he was going to rip it off.

    Hill phoenix to a family dollar in the middle of nowhere Ky. Going to have to call the state to verify the routes I think are best. If I can't take the routes then they are going to have to find another way to get their coolers. Not even sure I can fit into parking lot let alone getting there.

    That's always a fun place to bump a dock.
