    Ok im not sure why i bother to keep coming down here to the southern communist region. You would figure id learn my lesson after getting bent over each time we come down here.. but we just got it rammed so deep im not even sure what to say.....

    Deadhead 300 miles for this load. Show up to shipper , and long story short, they shipped out our load on a truck that was scheduled for tmrw. They dont know when the next shipments coming.... Ok?

    .. I called my agent about layover pay? 500 dollar a day for me to sit here until next week or find another truck....

    "Yeah , about that , this customer isnt gonna pay that, i can tell you right now"

    "Ok then find another truck"

    "........ok"



    -- then we had a very intelligent conversation with the forklift guy and he said i was being an ### hole because i asked him when they get their shipments?

    "Idk they come whenever ."

    "Ok, i need a time ? Tmrw, next week, next month?"

    "Idk bro"

    "Ok bud look , i cant work off of that , i need an estimate of when i can be loaded , i cant sit here all week waiting on u guys"

    "Idk bro"

    "Ok, then who gets paid to know stuff around here ?"

    "Well i mean im the only person working today, we dont have your load , ur gonna have to come back tmrw"



    Yeah im a big meanie for dealing with dumb ### people.... :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

    So now its thrusday , we just wasted 7 hours of our recap on a bs load , have to find a load out of here tmrw, or see if the broker accepts my layover charge ? Whats the odds of either? ....

    What a waste of everybodies time.....

    Been there, tonight I'm enjoying a last night of creature comfort before I deal with this tiny sleeper for a few weeks. I remember how little my dad had on the road when I was a kid, and ###### I prefer our modern luxuries.
