    Ok after delivering in Laredo on time my husband's shoulder is shot he needs to get home to AZ to see a Dr. and get surgery. This is not a workmans comp issue he hasn't injured himself on the job. This is something he had surgery on 9 years ago and it needs to be re-done. That said no flatbed freight going west, no vans, nothing. I am willing to drive to TX, Salt Lake, Las Vegas etc. but he needs something besides a ####### DM ignoring the issue. He can't get work going west or off his truck so he can come home and our insurance can take care of it. He has already been in Laredo over 24 hours doing nothing, except trying to communicate with the DM and being ignored. Can you gys think of anything I can do to help him? I can be sweet and offer the world or I can be the b!+@# you'll do anything to get rid of, but who can I call and harass or what can I offer to get my man home so this can be taken care of and he can get back to work.

    Ah that sucks for Steve, but freight going west from Laredo has always been a problem. If it's not an emergency they probably won't do anything about it.
