    Sorry couldn't find the rant section. And dont want to ruin my millionaire trucker status.
    F F F Sam's club and walfart. I've heard to many horror stories. But I get paid percentage. So when the boss said hey man it pays this good. I said hell yeah lets roll. So understand I did this to my self.
    1st load delvering to wally. I sit at the shipper 5 hours. Just to be told " oh, sorry bout you luck this load won't be ready till tommrow."
    Ok fine call the boss we book another load 1.5 times the pay. I think sweet blessing in disguise. Getting loaded to go to sams club
    Takes 6 hours. In the old truck I still could have made the 11pm appointment, but not in this 4 cylinder of a truck. So I stay in contact all day and do everything I'm supposed to. So I know I'm heading into a situation where " they will fit you in when they can so please just be patient"
    I'm thinking ok cool.
    Sams club just about laffed at that, they even knew who the shipper was. So unless the agent can get me a earlier appointment. Guess who didn't get paid from Wednesday am till Friday night at 2300.
    I know I did it to myself. But I won't again.
    Rant over thanks for reading.

    Sir. We need you to remain calm.

    Are you calm?

    It's only Thursday night.

    Are you saying they are telling you they won't take you until tomorrow night?
     
    Judge and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    This is more your handler's fault. As you surmised, Wally can be a really F up deal, and rolling the dice with a last minute pick up there is asking for trouble.

    Recommend you have him send you to Southern Oregon where you can do short haul dry van and make that long money.
