One time when I was with 
I got a 900 mile load. But, cancelled a few minutes later and found out they moved it to a "yellow box" for less money. I challenged dispatch and they told me they have to go with the $$$ even if it means leaving their own driver sitting.

That is beyond awful especially when you told your situation there would be a few choice words if I was in your shoes for the customer service rep but that is just me...I hope something even better comes your way hang in there
Well I always wondered if they were reading my posts at the carrier. Just got an email sent to every driver at my company. All sent to their real names, except for me - it was addressed to Brokcanadian lol
Well doubling up on runs is a great start, thank you

Just found out that load went on a straight truck. But why? For a $160?
That dispatcher needs their hours reset.
Ok ladies and gents, vacation is over. Had fun, but all good things come to an end. London to Atlanta via Toronto tomorrow morning, then back into the grind on Tuesday morning.

If the straight was already picking up for same delivery location. Add it on to straight, cost zero. Shipper may have even came up with it. Either way communication sucked.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic so it can absorb water which is a contaminant. Water also lowers the boiling point. Brake fluid is cheap. Why not replace it at every brake job?
Change the pads and bleed the system of air. Some old fluid will be evacuated during the purge. The more the better. After bleeding the fluid is topped off and viola, the fluid is back up.
Yep that's the only time it gets a little top off when needed...
where does it absorb water ! Where's the source ? It's a sealed system ...
My fluid is fine the shop says...
4x's I've had brake jobs ...3 in front once rear...

What shop ? How did they test it ? Clear does not mean good, necessarily.
It's absorbed from the atmosphere, thru cap seal, caliper seals, rubber hoses, bleeders.
On my track motorcycle, fluid used must be highest wet boiling point available, at $90.00/qt. It must be changed monthly or lever gets way spongy after 10 min on track abuse. That's not good at 165 mph....

I haven't changed my brake fluid either. After 774k miles it still looks like It did the first day.

One my first techs I met.. I was reaching to open the master cylinder and he stopped me.., no need to remove top.., the source of most contamination IS by removing the top... you can see the level thru the opaque container...
