Indian River

I’m pretty sure my destination is open Saturdays. So if I can get gone by tomorrow morning I should be ok.

 

I never got loaded. Sat there from Tuesday evening until 2 hours ago (1pm Friday). My wash expired while sitting there. I finally got ahold of a dispatcher who took time to have a conversation about what was going on. He gave me 4 choices. 3 involved more waiting so I chose the 4th which is dead heading to Tulare, CA to rewashed and get a load down in that area. Word has it there is a ton of IRT at the Prosser wash on stand by, not getting washed until they find out what to do with them.

 

Usually 72 hours. The place I was at is 48. Some places swab test it and if it doesn’t pass the bacteria test it’s getting rewashed.

 

Yes it was. It will be fine with me if I don’t see Grandview, WA again for the next 3-4 months. I was also glad to get some communication about what was going on finally. Had a few conversations this morning that put a bad taste in my mouth. Getting the feeling your being dismissed never puts a guy in a good mood after you’ve been sitting in a parking lot for 60+ hours and you’re trying to get some answers why. For all you guys on here, if you’re ever under the Cali umbrella and get into a jam somewhere, call Chris before you talk to anyone else. He’s a good guy and also an ex-driver in the office out here and he doesn’t mind having a 5 minute conversation with you and being honest about where things stand. Being an ex-driver, he’ll talk to you like you’re a human being and won’t give you the “I’m too busy and could care less type attitude”.
