    Wonder if this will help relieve the "driver shortage"?

    Dude. One of mine, this is years ago, after weeks of driving around in thunderstorms back east...…….water started coming out of the high range lever.:eek:

    So, took like 10 minutes to drain it. was just like a sink on high.

    Holy #### lol. That's gotta be some kind of record. Having as much as came out of this one is about a weeks worth due to the humidity here.

    Where's D.Tibbitt? There's the perfect partial load for him in the Ask an O/O forum with a dude needing a lathe moved from Ny to Az. Stick that bish on the front of the trailer @ $1.50/mi, then fill the rest of the trailer at a higher rate and make $.

    Just south if St Louis.. chilly tonight. Not good phone signal.
    Second load in a row malfunction.
    Got to shipper, load not ready for 2 more days. Got a reload out of Iowa with an agent I pull for a ton.
    Waited until noon in Memphis, calling the agent and LS.
    Finally blow my stack and leave, get 60 miles away and the agent calls and said,
    “Load is ready now, you can load, the customer said.”
    I put him on hold, called the shipper, lady there, whom I got her phone number, told me, “Nope, not ready til wednesday morning, product not made yet.”
    Told the broker what he could do with that load, and in the morning, I will finish my 565 mile DH.
    Lost a 1500 load for 565 miles, but still got the 3k load, but it’ll be on next weeks check.

    I am so firing the load planner.
    I am so gone!
    :argue:
