    My week is salvaged. After heading to Michigan today to drop, I hook up for a Texas drop on Sunday night. 2388 loaded . Not bad for a week with 3 days sitting.

    I used to do linehaul at night and on occasion I would fill in on P&D and would catch a load to a grocer DC in Virginia and they would only get about half of a trailer but I had to do everything myself. As you stated it was the checker that would take their time but one time I got there and that was my only stop and they let people in that was a day late and this went on for a few hours and then I about lost it when I got the same answer for about the millionth time. We are running behind. I finally went off and told them to get me a door or I was leaving and if he needed my stupidvisors name I would let him use my phone to make sure he got the right person. Well after that I got the door and then after breaking it all down I told them I needed a checker and he said we are in a shift change and you will have to wait for about a half hour. I informed him to get off his fat @#$ and get me someone right then. He looked at me and I said I can load the @@$# back up and leave I was tired and pissed. I stated that I was there on time and the dumb @#$ behind the desk was letting everyone in front of me that was a day late and that I was not playing. When I started back to the dock and got to the trailer someone was checking everything. Funny thing I was never asked to fill in on P&D and I never went there again.

    That was an interesting post Popcorn , let's have string of them to liven this thread up .
    Write about a breakpoint event. One that you did something out of character and put your foot down without fear of consequence .
    "I've had all I can take and I ain'ts gonna take no more!" Story.
    Names should be changed to protect the innocent...and the guilty. Lol

    Missouri tonight. Texas tomorrow. Alabama for Tuesday.
    Im looking forward to camping when I come home. Fishing again. But sometimes I wish I could just sit in a hot tub all day.

    Back in Dallas. Holy hotness! I'm glad my AC works well enough to stave off the inferno outside. I'm hanging here to do local deliveries tomorrow. 16 miles loaded each. Same destination. Good thing I can get a 300 mile minimum per day. Easy money, no fuel used other than idling to keep comfortable while I wait.
    Days like today I'm glad I don't have to walk a dog.

    Sorry for making you look, but with you having a new account, I have to know you aren't a troll.
