    I got to my drop and spent 5 hours to get unloaded. Went to a ts to park, and was given a load that was do in 5 hours and 400 miles away. So i obviously wrote in and said I can't make that load. I was told to get it, and then send in an eta. Ok well the load was at prime drop yard. The directions there was wrong. I pulled into where the directions sent me and there was a big open field of prime trailers, it looked right to me. Well I got stuck in mud, and it wasnt the right place. it was a washout spot prime uses. So the old man pulled me out with his loader, and gave me directions to the yard. Meanwhile prime dispatch is argueing with me telling me that the tlr is right there, where i was.
    I got to the yard and there was the tlr i needed.

    No real reason for this post, but atleast yall can laugh at me getting buried in mud.

    Ahh. It's happened to most of us at one time or another. At least you were able to get out without calling a hook. They get expensive.

    Don't ya just love these idiots that are sitting behind a desk, telling you that you don't know what you are looking at????:biggrin_25513:

    But I44 DOES go north. I live in Michigan and my kids live in Oklahoma, which is southwest of me. I take I-44 to get there and back. Northeast and Southwest. North and South. :biggrin_2556:
