    There is a ton of freight moving from Salt Lake City to Portland and Seattle. There is more freight going from Seattle to Alaska than from Utah to Alaska. Somebody isn't trying very hard to get you back to Alaska. Is everyone at your company on drugs? Who sends a trailer to Utah that isn't legal in UT?

    Either your company is incompetent at the most basic level or they are trying to make you quit. Ever heard of load boards?

    Explain what happened after you delivered your freight. What did the company say? Are they saying "maybe tomorrow we'll have something" or what?
    You have time so try not to presume we all heard the conversations and know the story. We only know what you've written in post #1. Is it common in Alaska to sit for days waiting for the next load? Something doesn't add up.

    "Here, take this truck and trailer with no registration to a state where the truck or trailer is illegal, and then we'll tell you what to do, someday."

    They have interstate authority,but also a 74% OOS score.
    Probably not many brokers would work with them.
