[QUOTE="Moosetek13, post: 8519547, member: 52051"]What is it... Safeway and a live unload that will take a few hours and pay $25 bucks? Don't they have local guys that can do that garbage? With only 4 days remaining until you go on hold for that inspection, you should insist on the shop time now. Or you could try to get one more decent load in and let the time expire. Then they will have no choice but to get you to a TA or somewhere for the inspection - and they would hate that. Something not close to a terminal would be best. I have let the time expire to force the issue, simply because they would not get me close enough to a terminal when I request it. Planners care nothing for what we need to get done, so I'll just take the loads until I am on hold. Then they have no choice in the matter. Get with your DM to see if he/she will set you up with something. Many are too afraid to plan for us, but some will do it. My DM, and sometimes TM, will often do it.[/QUOTE]
