Dang nab it! I arrived at 2 PM yesterday for that late load and let me tell you, it was late! I wasn't loaded until midnight! First and foremost, I arrived at 2 PM, I was docked at 7 PM, I was denied the load at 8 PM because it wouldn't fit in the reefer two pallets high (hit the dang roof). I parked across the street for the night, was called by dispatch at 9 PM on why I wasn't loaded (my first wake up call), was waken by a knock on the door by the shipper at 10 PM (wanted my dispatcher's phone number), and was called by dispatch at 11 PM to return to shipper for a half load! I backed to the dock and was again sleep deprived at midnight as I was loaded.
I parked for the night at 12:30 AM and was up at 5:45 AM to hit the road.........hey, at least it wasn't an all nighter!
I am currently parked just south of Nashville, very tired with only 4 hours of sound sleep and ready to sleep for ten. We will leave at 6 AM and drop at 6 PM in Florida.
See you all in the morning............
Oh....I might have a chance for a local job, but won't discuss more until I know for sure.
