    Got to Richmond about 9 last night. Dropped my loaded trailer, went in to see Jonathan, got a San Antonio load then went to bed. I woke up at 5 am showered then went over to the motel to pick up my refresher Ken. In the meantime my load info never came so I went inside to see dispatch and they took me off of it and gave me a Riverside Ca load that delivers on Friday morning. Right now I'm in Wytheville taking my 30 minute break. We have a long hard trip ahead of us, sometimes I wish I could be in the no miles, no freight club and sit under the canopy back in Richmond.

    So I'm given the "hurry, go" load to University Park. QC says 1/28 0700 and load wasn't loaded til yesterday bout noon. One of those "not gonna make it" loads. I fuel in Remington, IN and send a message asking if there is a new appt time. Was told get there ASAP and they will unload you but you have to pay $120 late fee. I get here and the guard tells me I my appt is tomorrow. Called the office and told them to straighten it out and let me know. Tim shot me a message to go back in there the guard was confused. Nope the whole thing is confused. One BOL was for yesterday at 1800 and one BOL is for tomorrow. So I can do nothing but snicker as the receiver is pulling his hair out trying to figure it out. If he checks in yesterday's I have to cough up $120, if he waits til tomorrow I'm good but they need yesterday's...lol. He put me in a door and said he'll work on figuring it out.

    It depends on what school it is. And then if they do, your training could be up to six months.

    So I'm at the Flying J in West Memphis. I'm bobtailed and parked in the auto section next to a couple of hotshot trucks. There is a platoon of prostitutes working the J tonight and a manager knocks on the door. Tells me if I don't move he will tow me and call the police. Seriously lol??

    Just switched drivers here at the rest area at the 237mm in Arizona. I'll take it the rest of the way to our delivery in Riverside. We have a 3am appt. should be there on time. I must have seen 15 Abilene trucks coming east today, I hope they left some freight for us.
