THE ADVENTURES MK III - Still doing it my way

If you ever arrive at a customer and find the load is cancelled, make sure you get the $150 VNU fee. It's not much but it's something. Still sucks bigtime when a load cancels that goes where you need to go. Over time you'll learn which customers have cancelling issues a lot. From what I've seen it's not necessary a "time of the year" thing, but a certain customer at a certain location, thing. Home Depot in Port Wentworth, GA comes to mind - I swear 2 out of 3 loads that come out of this place cancel. Some days you'll go in there and there are lines of bobtails parked outside the gate calling their dispatchers because of cancelled loads, until the blue light special guards come running up in their golf cart to chase everyone off.

Sorry to hear about the loss of a family friend - that's always tough. Prayers go out to everyone involved.

Back in NC tonight, delivery in VA tomorrow then unless a block of gold lands in my lap it'll be time to bobtail home for the weekend. No intentions of sitting through this load board "outage" that will no doubt last 3 days when they royally **** things up and it takes 3 times longer than expected. Since the loads I usually run show up the night before, that'll be a definite no-go for me when it comes to staying moving.

 

Chance of snow on Tuesday huh? Old Man Winter just won't let go.
