Well, after making sure I could get this 356 mile "weekend" load delivered tonight, I drive the 4 hrs here to pickup, and the lady informs me they're not ready, may cancel. As my blood pressure is rising, she says"unless you want to wait and see how many we can get done"...well, of course. Supposedly they're gonna load whatever they have around 930. If I'm rolling by 1000, still got time for a short fuel stop and make it by 1700 receiving close.

That is a long time to get tied up....IF you do....Try and drop it at the yard and let a local van deliver it.....some of us have done that before...
