    My vote is always for more sleep.....:D

    Seriously, though, at this time of night in crappy weather, if you already have a spot to park I'd stay there if I were you.

    I recognize that it depends on many variables. YMMV.


    I am NO DISPATCHER'S HERO.

    I make a good, though modest living by habitually erring on the side of caution.

    That's what I'm looking at myself, it'll be a miniscule difference over the course of the next 2 days. More than anything I'm just impatient to be out of the truck after 2 months since my last time off.

    Here’s a call I got 4 hours ago.

    “We got a driver who overlooked his text and didn’t load today, and was going to see if you could load first thing in morning and deliver tomorrow afternoon 225 loaded miles.”

    me
    “Yep, it’ll cost you a grand.”

    “Why so much?”

    “It’s a day late, they will make you wait until after 2000, and there’s a winter mix coming in there tomorrow night.”

    “We’ll get back to you.”

    4 hours later.

    “I think we can get that.”

    me “It’s now $1200.”

    “What why?”

    me
    “Leaving me hanging for 4 hours, then calling me after hours.”

    “I’ll call you back.”

    me “Next time it’ll go to $1500.”

    I guess I’m tired of playing games.
    I don’t care, I got a load Wed booked anyway, can’t miss what you never had. :p

    He is from Indiana and not currently up here , the building is back in the woods and there is a unwritten rule up here that you don’t go on land that ain’t yours .

    I’ll catch him in the Spring and take some pics of the inside.
