    I made it up here on time (early) but I had to wait for a door without a dock lock, because of my lift gate being in the way. After this I go get some craft beer and head to GR

    I need to do the same. The State of Michigan has called and they want their information...tomorrow. I gently explained how I'm in west Texas and my company has kept me out since the last week of March without a visit home to set the truck up and get important paperwork mailed...The lady was nice and gave me a reprieve until May 15.

    Right there is one very good reason to control your own loads and destiny!
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    Can't wait to be able to pick my own loads . A nice triangle and back home more often.

    Taking 8 at the shipper so I can do on time delivery. Then I'm getting this darned AC fixed! (And watching the Avengers movie (probably a few times)

    Lately, I always end up back in GR on Fridays . It would be great if I lived close by to go home every weekend for at least a night.

    The bonus about an 8 hr split is if I get tired , I can take a 2 hr nap and still be ok for the most part. Although I'll be the first to admit , I'd rather be a solar powered driver than doing these over nights.

    I arrived in GR on time, but I guess. It's at the receivers leisure to get here to unload. Kind of a crock . Wtf are appt times for then?

    They are there so they can charge you when you are not on time. Same as a doctors office.

    This next load will be the 1st time I will pull a load thru the house with this company , on my way to the U.P. For Monday. So I need to fuel up now, as there are few modern truck stops up there .

    Or places to park a truck. Once you past the Bridge, it's pretty rustic, though I do recall ending up at one of those rest areas and falling asleep to the sound of the waves...and nothing else. That was nice.
