I was assigned a load at 4 PM, I was onsite at 4:30 for a 6 PM pickup going only 195 miles. The due date was for 6 AM. I could not make it as my hours are up at 8 PM. I notified dispatch.
I sat the shipper for 3 hours before I was given my load and quickly found a truck stop for the night. They are now sending a swap so this load will get there on time and probably wake me up in the middle of the night to do so.
But while at the shipper, I interviewed the guard (a very nice man) and visited with a husband/wife team. Then I got to watch a driver PLOW through a large black fence that separated the two distribution centers. He blamed it on it being dark, the rain and not seeing the black fence which he had to drive between to pick up his trailer! The wreck broke both his mirrors and both windshields! I don't think he will be working for his company much longer!
Off to call James!

You are not on skype and you haven't been for at least the last hour. Fail.
Dear son, I asked you to call me when you were ready. By the time you were looking for me, I had crawled into my warm bed......
