Talk about a wasted day.....another half day of driving! I arrived at the terminal for my 11 AM drop to only find out that my next load would not be here until 6:15 tonight. And.....my clock is up at 7!
Not only that, since the terminal is "no idle", I requested a voucher for a room (the terminal has a motel) and I was denied as the dispatcher did not have permission to do so! He told me to go to a truck stop and idle as needed! Not only that, he found out my trailer had arrived at 5:30 and told me to take it to the closest truck stop. HUH?????? By the time I hooked up, did my paperwork and headed out of the terminal, I would have only 30 minutes before I needed to park.
I notifed planning via the qualcom that the trailer would be picked up at 5 AM and be delivered a day late as it is 10 hours to the drop and I have only 7.5 hours on my 70 tomorrow.
Yuma has never seemed so far away!
