It's a joke sometimes, isn't it?
I signed up with a new one last week and ran a load, I was happy to get 30 day check on it so I didn't even ask about payment terms. Not until I emailed accounting since the broker didn't know did I get a form sent to me that says:
Paper check fee: $20
Comcheck fee: don't remember, but expensive
EFT fee: $20
ACH free
Huh? EFT and ACH are the same thing in my mind.

Same thought after I got home yesterday. It's funny how you don't notice it when you're in the truck. You're like on auto pilot going thru the motions and doing the job. Still had stuff to do at home no matter how tired. Then leave back out again today. No complaints though when the money is decent compared to say about 3 months ago.Midwest Trucker, BoostedTeg, Brettj3876 and 3 others Thank this.

My ears always pop on the way back from jersey coming up the big hill on 80 where 380 splits off lol.D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

I'm more of an introvert most times. But F the OTR life style Lol I'd go crazy. I need to get out of the truck at the end of the day and unwind for a good 3 hours before i settle down.
Closest i did to OTR was the oilfield in Ohio living in a motel for a month at a time. That last week always felt slow mo Lol count down to blast off
Edit. @Scooter Jones that sucks. Maybe just an internal f up on their part. Done a few for them and got paid within 45D.Tibbitt and Scooter Jones Thank this. -

Phone rings at 0445 today. On the other end is a fellow from the after hours brokerage team of the load I was under.
In a broken eastern Indian accent he says, "hello, has your driver (me) arrived at the consignee yet?"
I say, "why would I have arrived at 0445 for a 0745 appointment"?
He says, "your appointment is at 0445 Eastern time."
I say, " no it's not, it's at 0745 Pacific time."
This went on for about 5 minutes, round and round we went. He finally conceded he had made a mistake, but then grilled me for another 5 minutes about my exact location at the time LOL. SMH.
I told the broker agent about it and she apologized profusely and said their after hours personal is in India.PPLC, D.Tibbitt, Brettj3876 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Did he, by chance, understand that he was completely backwards AND wrong? 0445 Eastern is 0145 Pacific, or I've had a really long day.
D.Tibbitt and Scooter Jones Thank this. -
Correct, he kept challenging about that fact.D.Tibbitt Thanks this.
