So they pulled the load (didn't want it anyway) and I was up at 4 AM ready to drive. It is now 8 AM, I am fed, showered and waiting. Life of a trucker! There was 8 company trucks here last night and I think I am the only one left. AUGH.................

A snail is faster!
Good morning from the same location as yesterday morning and we haven't moved an inch! I think I am being punished as they tried to drop a load on me yesterday at 3 PM that I stated I couldn't move safely. I don't know what is up with these dispatchers. They figured that since I was parked since 11 AM, my 10 hour clock would end at 9 PM and I should be ready to drive! This load was too heavy for one truck and since I am 800 pounds lighter, I should take it, scale it, and drive 6 hours to deliver it. I stated I had been up since 6 AM, it is now 4 PM and there was no way I could get enough sleep to drive until 4 AM. I guess they think that when we are not driving, we are sleeping!
