    Been sitting in the indy area since the 4th, had a Tyson load out of Condry, IN. Checked in, sat there for 8 hours until they told us the load no longer existed. Naturally no one at Freymiller or Tyson wants to fess up to getting their wires crossed. Also told on the Freymiller side there are no loads for multiple drivers, fan####ing tastic. Going to be sitting until Monday from the 4th with nothing to show, my last load had me sitting for 27 hrs. Who has a decent company to reccomend that's regional, local, or ltl in the OKC area. On top of all of this, I have a student on the truck who's obviously all sorts of disenfranchised about FM now.

    Im sorry to hear that.

    Next time call someone else and pretend to be a solo and get a load. IF they are rushed they might not noticed you are a trainer. Give it a try.

    I hate corporate think related to "Multiple drivers dont get a load" that kind of thinking is self defeating and destructive. IF they cannot recognize it then YOU two will do very well to get out and find another outfit that does not double think that kind of waste.

    If they don't have it,they don't have it.
    That's the way this industry works.
    Many drivers will be sitting this weekend.
    The holiday fell on the worst day.

    Some places were open on Thursday and took
    Friday and the rest of the weekend off.
    Some places closed on Thursday and opened
    On Friday.
    Everything is screwed up.

    Find a petro and relax.

    It's the 4th of July, take the week off and avoid this whole situation and the holiday traffic. Yes I know not everybody can take the week off.

    Pretty much if you aren't set up with loads before the M-F daytime crew takes off for the holiday, you're screwed.
