    Shutdown most of the day at the Loves in Waller, Texas. Ready to get this run done in Houston tomorrow. I hate going to Houston, but I'll deal with it.

    And who do you want to stick with that crap load after you?
    It is total BS to agree to a load and then try to pawn it off on someone else because you don't like the delivery time.


    Just do your load as you agreed to.
    Any honorable person would.

    Shut up moose. I will do what I want and how I want.
    I will trade this load for another local run so I can keep on running. Most likely will have to deliver this load.

    It makes sense if there is too much time on the load, to drop it at a terminal and run keep running efficiently rather than park idle for an extra day for no reason.

    No local to trade load for. Fleet manager said to come back In the morning.
    Think I am just gonna deliver this load since now I have to get truck a and b serviced. Have about 400 miles left b3 shop puts truck on hold.
    Go in and talk to my dm and sees if there's anything I can do early. Doesn't look too promising now lol.

    Perhaps I did.

    Or maybe trying to offload it when I have agreed to do it just rubs me the wrong way.

    I also hate getting those short local runs that take a lot of time and make me no money.
    Many of you have complained about the exact same thing, and many times it is because a driver felt their time was more important than yours.

    I won't go the route of 'they do it, so I will to'. If I agree to a load I will complete that load as scheduled.
    Sometimes I will call before I accept it to inquire about a t-call, but that is as far as I will go. Otherwise I will just reject the load for too much time.

    And that is one nice thing about Swift. We can reject a load with mac 9. It will be removed and another sent in its place. Simple.
    So if you do not like the times... reject it up front.
