    Run home, unload and then go drop of the truck.

    Its not like they can trash your DAC for going home, abandoning the truck, etc. If they did put something you could just validate it and they dont exist here real soon. I'd take the truck home and tell them to come get it unless you live real close to joplin and can have someone come get you.

    What a shame. I drove for sitton for three years and never had any complaints. A decent outfit IMO. This is just a sign of the times.

    If we keep electing the same people to office it's only going to get worse.

    You got a choice between coke and pepsi come election time. Politicians come and politicians go. A bad economy is no excuse. Poor management is why Sitton and others are going under.

    That's what i'm saying. What are they going to do? Fire you? Not fuel the truck to get it back to joplin? I doubt it.
