Has anyone else had this happen?

Today started as a good day. I had my load and was headed to my destination in Texas. Then, my work assignment changed mid-drive. I had to backtrack to a different destination that I already passed:

So I go back to the new destination, drop my trailer, and fill out the DVIR:

So now I have to pick up a different trailer to take it to another location, and return to this yard. Once I get back, I have to pick up the original trailer to take to the original destination:

Am I wrong to be pissed off about this?

 

Sorry for the image quality. I tried to show that the trailer I dropped at the yard matches the trailer I’m picking up later. Dispatch arbitrarily decided to add at least 4 hours to the job I was already doing and, as far as I know, the appointment time st the customer hasn’t changed.

 

I can’t make the original appointment time, and now there’s no time for me to have a reset before next week’s job.

 

Yes, I’ll get the extra miles. In exchange for having no reset. Driving 10 days straight. Unless they change my upcoming assignment.
