    Man, I hate HOA's. Not for the no semis thing, I can kind of understand that. I've lived in a neighborhood with one and had family in others, and they were all run by some elderly tyrant with nothing better to do.

    My secret fantasy is getting elected chairman of an HOA then getting enough residents on board to pass a resolution disbanding the HOA.

    That’s odd for a dispatcher. Most of them would insist on getting the pickup since few if any of them have the spine to tell brokers to pound sand when they call.

    Homeowner probably thought it wouldn’t apply since you’re there to make a delivery instead of to park for the night. Were I in his shoes I’d spitting fire at these “security” yahoos.

    I think it's because we're working on maintaining/fixing are start times. If I as a p&D finish at 7pm figure they won't unload me until 730 which then puts the linehaul back and screwing me and the other p&d guys tomorrow.

    It's just a chain reaction for delays.

    Also were short staffed.

    Look closely at the tankers next time you get passed in daylight

    almost all of them are running either auto chains or the sanders. Both of which are legal in colorado when chain law is up. They ain't got time to wait. (almost all are paid by the load)

    Got to do a different run last. Easy Raton Nm turn. Retirement run. Good thing I-70 was trashed last night with more snow.
