    Not 100% sure, it’s not supposed to have little chunks in the Robitussin
    Maybe it just greatly helps.

    but that’s post reminded me to take another dose..

    So they are doing there jobs correctly, and verifying that you are available for the Golden ticket load?

    That is a refreshing change from the typical stories I hear.

    Most generally. But occasionally something throw a wrench in the works. The load I'm currently under is a 4 day round trip in our local/regional area. It was originally dispatched to another driver, but apparently his wife said something to the effect of... "That load or me!"

    So I got a call at 1700 Friday evening while I was on my roof working on the chimney... Now I'm between Yakima and Ellensburg, WA, delivery is at 0300 tomorrow in the greater Seattle area.


    Edit: Only 3 dispatcher in the company. 1 does local/regional, 1 does East Bound, 1 does West bound. OTR drivers deal with all 3, local drivers generally only deal with one but occasionally help the East Bound dispatcher by preloading trailers.

    Ouch, I'm too old and grumpy for that noise, I woulda kept the load.

    I'll just step outside now and give a wave of support eastward in your general direction.
