The trouble continues! We've been sitting here at the shipper since 6am, we were supposed to be here at 7am, we were early. It is now 9:16am, we are still not loaded. When we got here, no one knew anything about the load so we had to wait until someone else got here at 8am, then he tried to load us with far less than we were supposed to be picking up. After many conversations with dispatch, we are sitting here at the shippers loading dock until 11am at which point we take everything they have managed to get ready and heading off to our consignee. At least we are getting detention pay for the next 2 hours. Althought I'm not sure how much detention pay amounts to, I'll take it. We were scheduled to pick up another load as soon as we dropped this one off, but now it doesn't look like we'll be able to get there in time to get it. If they can arrange a later pick up time for it, we may still be able to haul it, otherwise, we will have to wait for a new load to come through. Hurry up and wait. That's the name of the business. Anyway, I guess I'll go stew on the fact that we are probably going to miss out on that second load... we better get a load after we get there and it better be a better load than the one we are probably going to miss out on because if it's not they are going to have some makeing up to do, I'll expect several bonuses on it to make up for any loss of miles and fuel surharges. Sometimes you gotta play dirty to keep things fair and even. Can't let dispatch string us around like that very much. Anyway, I'm done griping. Talk to y'all later.
