    I'll have 3731 for the weeks once I get this last 260 mile load and get home. I just received yet another eta on the driver thats bringing the load out to me and he was only 400 miles out early yesturday. I'm starting to have serious doubt. I already emailed my DM at home to adjust my RTO another day.

    I've bobtailed to that AB before. It depends on how much time they have on the load. The AB loads usually have a large window unless it's draft beer. I don't know what makes draft beer any different since I'm not a drinker. Maybe it has a shelf life.

    I think the draft beer loads have to be kept cold so once they are loaded on a dry van they only have a certain amount of time to be put back in a cooler

    Thomas is correct. If it gets hot for to long it will go flat.


    Sent me to fedex in windsor, ct for an mt and moved me to a scrap metal load picking up in ny and going to Berea, KY. More miles but will be on next weeks check. Oh well.

    Ball Metal on Adams Rd in Saratoga Springs. Make sure you check the weight efore you get too far. I get those loads every time Im in the area and they're usually always over weight. The last load I got out of there had to be reworked 3 times and I got stuck with it for 3 days because it had to be rescheduled.

    Mcc in Newburgh. Only 36, 000 scrap aluminum. Took forever to load. Had to get delivery rescheduled to 1600 tomorrow.

    Originally scheduled for the 26th at 1900. Dm called this morning saying changed to 1400 tomorrow. I'm hating this load.

    I can make the ta in Greencastle Pennsylvania around 8 tonight that will leave me 9 hours to drive tomorrow I have the time to make the West Virginia Welcome Center on 68 but I am worried about parking in both areas that late. Not a whole lot in between except the pilots in Hagerstown md

    I just got done hustling my load up to Target in Fridley, MN for a 12/28 18:30 live appointment only to get turned away because the appointment is for 12/29. I could have just gone back home for a day after I picked up the load but thanks to our wonderful dispatch I get to waste a day of my life at the 'TA. Had a preplan to pickup tonight going to Fort Worth but probably dont now.
