Ah the joys of a big show....
Did one that was paying good (not special just good) that ended up paying real good in the end.
Was one of those multiple trucks per booth loads. And a little over a drive shift between locations.
Ended up getting called to load exceptionally late. And was kinda surprised I ended up with a Job Box on the tail. I just did the "What Ever" shrug. said to myself "If it fits it Ships". Snapped a picture of the load, closed the doors, Kicked the tires, Lit the fire, and motored into the night.
Got a text the next morning of "Are you the one they loaded late? And do you have the tool box on your truck"
Sent the photo to the freight company and got an immediate phone call back. Evidently each booth had a team truck assigned to it that was supposed to be the last one loaded and have the tool box. Team truck should have been the first one showing up at the other end. They messed up and gave me the team load. When I answered the immediate phone call and confirmed I was on track for delivering per load assignment. The guy just said we are also paying you $100 per hour for every hour you get there before your appointment time. 8 hour sleeper had just completed as I finished the coffee. Fast pre-trip and started the slow roll through morning commute traffic.
Funny thing was I didn't get called into the destination hall until a couple hours after my original appointment time. Zero remorse for the fix-it check.
What if it Snows?
