Emptied out this morning near Rockford, IL.
The curse of Canton Ohio?
Couldn't help but think of Turtle after I delivered to the same neck of the woods he was in the other day.
The next morning, like Turtle, I set off for Canton.
Got about a hour into my move when a load offer came across.
Of course its picks up in the opposite direction from where I came from
Damned-if-you-do, damned if you don't playing my mind as I finally found a spot to turn around.
Ended up arriving to the confused look of the shipper who new nothing about it
Apparently, the phones must have been down as I couldn't get through to dispatch, and the different dispatch number I was given on the app was always busy. So I sent QC messages, never did get a reply
While waiting I got a tip from the shipper of another place near by that sometimes comes up with their address.
Feeling pretty alone on this one, I looked up the name and address of the tip.
3 miles away. I figured it was close enough to check out. Worse case, I'm wrong and have to come back if this was the right place.
Finally found the tip location. The tip was correct and they were just finishing up the paperwork, so it all worked out.
First time in over 7 years, I really felt..disconnected
Hey, just got a call for a load with the new phone call feature. Pretty cool
Although, after it was over, I was thinking...I hope press 1 was for accept lol.
I had my tablet alerting me as well. I'm more visual and wanted to see the information, route and destination map part from the App, but wasn't sure what would happen if I didn't answer the phone or hung up and went to the App.
Would it view it as a decline by default if I did hang up or not select a option and go to the App?
Trying to figure out all this new fangled technology
