Taking another swing at it

Ran from southern Ohio to FL for my delivery tomorrow morning. I’m still 80 miles away but I’ll be ok for my backhaul to get me home on time.

 

Ended up applying for local Sysco job too

 

Already set up for an in person interview Friday at 5am.

 

And of course the downfall of being OTR is the broker lying about appointments. I’m here at my delivery stop in GA that gets me to load to MI to get me home on time for my infusion. Now all that is in jeopardy. of course the dispatcher says hang tight and he will make a call and get things moving.
when the receiver says that they have no room for product until morning, I imagine calling him a liar won’t make things go smooth.

if I end up here overnight, that will greatly motivate my decision to run local. and I don’t even know if I get layover pay

 

I’ll get detention pay of $25 for every hour. That’s an expensive mistake on their end. And an easy $500 for me

 

We will see how it plays out. After I discussed it with the receiver, he agreed to empty me in the afternoon once his trucks were loaded. Now I’m at the next pickup waiting til morning.

 

I arrived at 630am for a “window” of 7-9am. I was empty at 430pm
I’m billing for 9hours. We will see
