    The last stupid thing that happened to me out in Arizona.

    Followed a two pick load out there that was dropping in Texas. Waited a couple days for it to confirm.

    I refreshed the load board and the load went from unavailable to gone. Never showed up on the load board.

    Two days later, I'm empty and sitting in Eloy watching the load board. The same load pops up, only with he pickup time extended out a few hours because it never got loaded on time.

    I selected the load immediately and took off toward the load. Before I get out of the Petro parking lot, my ICR is calling me and telling me that CS is wanting her to pull me off the load because I won't make it on time.

    Translation to that is they made a mistake by letting it show up on the load board and they were looking for an excuse to get it back from me.

    I'm positive they had a company truck in mind to assign the load to, but I got lucky enough to snag it as soon as they opened up the pickup window.

    It's one game after another these days.

    Saw on one of the Facebook groups yesterday that the official letter was sent out(screencap of actual letter) about collision mitagation requirements...anyone that doesn't currently have one installed has until Aug 2018 to either have one installed or upgrade to equipment that already has it....

    Seems like they got just as many rules as a
    Company driver.
    I'm just a company stiff and I don't have half the rules they got.
     
    spyder7723 and TennMan Thank this.
