    didn't see..my bad...well yea..there was never any problem as far as weather or whatever w SNI..whenever there was a problem..we'd just call and they'd figure it out..which is why i was so shocked that the ICL wanted me to go out there .

    They've been trained ..no matter what gotta save the load ..but SNI was usually very understanding about everything . I just always thought that this guy in particular was very insecure .. He was never sure about anything. Even when he terminated me..He was like "Yea i KIND OF made up my mind here"..a'lot of people and drivers told me to go and beg for my job back..I just don't see the point..If i was wrong Yea definitely id talk to him..But i didn't think i was in the wrong here ..and that's why i will call tomorrow and just let SNI safety know what happened .

    Your home, and location of the truck being 26 miles away in city traffic are not necessarily unique.......but at the same time understandable. Accepting the load was your biggest mistake. But we have all been there. I accepted a few loads without thinking things through and caused a couple of appointment resets. If you have been a reliable driver, they will work with you. Accept partial responsibility when and if you do talk with them. We are not weatherman, and reasonable people will see right through this fiasco.

    Give it a try. Being a little humble doesn't hurt either.
