    Did you ever go there when you were with Millis? I mean I kind of enjoyed the fact that I managed to get into it without tearing anything up but ####.

    I feel your pain on the "no loads" situation. I changed how I'm running now, based on something some random IC clued me into. Not even a Landstar driver, just some rando at one of my finals. The results have been unreal but it requires more diligence on my part. Let a load slip through my fingers and I'm paying for it. I had to take a couple loads I'm not thrilled with, but it'll do until my schedule is bridged. Looks like hunting for loads will now be a daily chore because of this new method. But he was right, it works very well. But I felt your pain. No loads, because I slipped. That won't happen again.

    I'm about to mf everybody at this carpet place. I've been here five friggin' hours and they're not even done. I hope this place pays detention. I understand why they put gladhand locks on the trailers because i'm sure there's a lot of drivers that are like "Eff this noise, I'm going to the FJ!" after four or five hours.

    If you are there for an hour and a half past your appointment or open ended time you will be paid detention no question. Millis doesnt play that detention game bs like these other companies

    No doubt, man. I've only been to one place since I left where I had a significant wait. My heart sank to the floor as soon as I saw the building. I had been there before with Millis. Twice. The company had a different name both times I was at Millis, and apparently they changed it again. Same ####ty crew though. I was there for 5 hours. Back at Millis, If I sit it's no biggie. It might piss Opie off but whatever man, nothing I can do. I'll get guaranteed detention and another load next opportunity. Here, that blew up a chain of loads I set up and cost me money and reputation points. No idea why Millis still goes there because surely everyone in BRF is aware how awful they are. Passed my time talking to a Millis driver that had been camped out the night before. Even with my 5 hours of waiting before I sicked my broker on them, I left before he did. That place blows. If I could remember the name, I'd post it.
