Met my dispatcher....she is HUMAN after all!

Good morning from the Omaha terminal.  I was up at 5 AM to drop the first load of this two load trip that was taking me the opposite way home.  I arrived at 7 AM (appointment time) and they were closed until 7:30!  At 8:30, I backed into the door and sat.  So......I decided to walk to the terminal that was two blocks away and meet my dispatcher.

I had envisioned an old bleached blond truck stop waitress with a smoke hanging from her lips.  I was quite surprised to meet a dark haired woman with a smile on her lovely face.  She was not too happy with this load and had it taken away as I need to head west and not east.  I offered to buy her lunch with the coupon she gave me but she has errands to run.

So......now I sit, hoping for a load west.
