    So... my DSP Ms. C is great! But she is on vacation till next Wed... :biggrin_2557: And my other DSP Ms. M gave me a load after I got empty this morning... But I guess she didn't read my msg saying I had 31 from 70 and my rollover will start on Tuesday at 0:00 hr... and she gave me a wonderful load from south GA to southwest CA that is supposed to deliver on Monday morning and second stop on Tuesday...:biggrin_2552: No possible at all... :biggrin_25512: About 37 or so hrs just driving + fuel stops + pre trips + delays... And I noticed that while I was at shipper waiting on a dock...
    Anyway... after telling her that I will have to deliver on Tuesday and Wed instead, she sent msg to broker... and broker said, he will think about "something" to say to shipper.... That I blew a tire or something and will be late...
    Anyway... I am glad to be in sunny and hot Florida... :yes2557: wearing my summer clothes again... Parked at a rest area... and going to bed as soon as I finish my meal here.... will start my driving at 2:30 am again, hoping to avoid some of the traffic and will try to park west of Houston tomorrow.... Shall see....

    Parked at the Ambest x104 I81 in PA...I like adventure so I accepted a load from York PA to Cheshire CT delivering at the notorious Bozzuto's. I have a 2300 appt and from what I hear I should get comfortable once there

    Its all good. It pays very well for the aggregation and I may not schedule anything till Monday anyway. We shall see
