    Crazy you should ask that. Trying to get to my sister's, and help the company make some money at the same time. Planning to take at least a week off, to help her thru this sadness.

    Last drop yesterday was in lovely Port Chester, where I spent the night in their parking lot. Load I had was going just 20 miles from her house.

    Got up early in the morning and headed down, hoping they had parking there. They did. Was going to do a split. Customer cancelled due to incoming snow.

    Same broker, different load. Going to Laurel 2nd instead. After unloading, shooting up I81 and across US 30. Be there tomorrow afternoon.

    Yeah Vic I'm glad I wasn't there today !
    Meanwhile in Texas I got dispatched on a load of bananas going to Missouri that I can't deliver on time on elogs and broker is ballistic .
    I guess dispatch doesent check our hours before they take loads lol
    But not my problem .
    In other news still no loads going to the east coast out of omaha either ...odd that a cattle packer that kills 2500 head a day has nothing going east .
    I'm starting to sence bull poo poo but I'll hold my tongue for a while with them.
     
    Crusader66 Thanks this.

    Just stateing the good bad and ugly in this thread and what I observe with no suger coated bs .
    I talked to another greater O driver where I unloaded this morning and he likes it here but isn't happy with the miles but I look at that as an individual thing .
    Hate to say it but I'm not real impressed with dispatch so far ..kind of a lack of communication.
     
    Shock Therapy Thanks this.
