    What are you hauling? Did you check with the reciever to make sure they would unload you on a Sunday night?

    I have a dry van right now. It was orginally scheduled for friday but i run out of hours so my dispatched supposedly got it rescheduled for tonight but obviously they lied to me. Not the first time. The customer is not even open on the weekend.

    Any time Ive had a weekend delivery, Ive called the reciever to verify hours. This recently happened to me with a Home Depot delivery. Had a 4am Monday appointment. I get there before 10pm so I can get my 10hr in. Get up just before 4, pull my tarps and no one is around. Finally a guy shows up at 6am and they start unloading me at 7. I ask why no one was there at 4am and he tells me "oh they schedule them like that to make sure the driver is here and ready by the time we get here. F U! lol.

With flatbed i usually wouldnt even try on the weekend . i cant remeber the last time i delivered on weekend with flatbed, maybe a steel mill thats it........... But with dry van i didnt even think to ask i just figured most warehouses are open 24/7 . obviously i was wrong but oh well , i made sure to cover my ### with qualcomm messages so they cant turn arouns and blame it on me lol

    Dallas area truck stops are F'ed. If Im coming from the west, I stay at the Petro or the independent truck stop that's 1 exit west of the Petro if I dont go to our yard.

    From 287, there's a truck stop off 820 in Ft Worth (on Blue Mountain Rd?) that nice, but I don't know if they have showers.
