    It may seem all doom and gloom but here in California its almost business as usual.

    I can see it now, the next Mexican Presidential race, one of the candidates is going to campaign on this theme:

    We're going to build a big, beautiful wall...and America is going to pay for it" LOL

    At this point, he'd be technically correct... Which is the best kind of correct, really.

    Well, I came into this shipper at 1015 for my 1100 appt.

    I was mentally prepared for a 4 hour load time. It is after all food and household items.

    I'm pushing 3.5 hours so far from my appt time. It feels like they're just about done. Might be wishful thinking though ;-)

    Wishful thinking...

    Don't forget that you are pushing 2 hour X $50.00 detention. If the broker is the one which I think it is. At this point, I'd sit there quiet for a few more hours. Possibly rewatching "The Good, Bad, Ugly" for the N-th time.

    So Uber won't ban you for cancelling a load?
