    Yep! You nailed it. They wheel in 2 hours late with 2 flat tires, one mudflap missing, no lights on the left side and the back pup roof on fire like they just drove through the circles of hell to get there. “Huh.. it wasn’t like that when I left”. :icon_jokercolor:

    Don’t the back one twitching like a criminal in the electric chair because of the 12,000 lbs of unmanifested freight that mysteriously wound up in there, which the aforementioned idiot would have discovered had he bothered to use the scale.

    Ohh yea dude.. always a classic. My personal favorite is thumbing thru the bills and finding 13,000 lbs of flammable that wasn’t reflected in a flipped placard anywhere. Safety 3rd!

    almost......This was an interplant linehaul. I started in Indiana, he came from Tonawanda NY. We met south of Cleveland. The plant managers agreed the trucks should meet up between noon, and 1PM. I was there like clockwork, between 12-12:15, fuel up, and start my wait. He got there before 1 twice, the other times it was 2:00, 2:15, it was almost 4:00 one day. Didn't care someone was sitting in a hot daycab in a cul de sac, he did what and when he wanted. And always with an attitude.

    Two different time frames as well. One is early morning for a lot of business folks trying to make it for a day time meeting and the other is families being picked up late to save on airfare.

    Is the forum completely back up and running? I seem to be missing my posts from Thursday and Friday.

    Correct. The admin had to use a back up from before the weekend so everything typed since then does not exist on the forum.
