    I picked up this load in mt. Crawford, they had me dead head all the way from home, because the cummins place told me last week they talked to doug and he told them to just do a regen and fix the dpf injector later, so they had me run all the way to kw in harrisonburg, only to find out no one called them, and when i finally got doug on the line, now he tells me he already had them fix the injector, and asks me if i was the one in new hampshire getting fixed, because that was the one with the bad injector! He should be lucky i wasnt close to sheldon, because i was ready to strangle him over the phone...got the first 2 drops off in wv and indiana just fine, both took me in a couple hours early, went like clock work. Got to the last drop in pontoon beach, il about an hour early, appointment not until 8 this morning, but place is small. I pull in, the only truck there thinking "yeah i'll get these couple of pallets off and i'm done!" Go up to the window, one guy in there "sorry i cant help you yet, i'm not on the clock". I stand there like an idiot for a couple minutes, another guy comes into the receiving office..."go and park it on the side", and slams the window closed..bunch of lazy #######:...grrrrr i'm the only truck in here and you cant be bothered to roll off 2 lousy pallets?...i'll be glad when they trade this pos truck in.

    I've skimmed over the thread and maybe I've missed it, but I see that you guys frequent the northwest, but do you guys hire from there? Thanks in advance and keep on keepin' on.
