My express 1 nightmare 72 hours of waiting then canceling the final resolution was paid me for the load minus the fuel surcharge

I had one of those at D1. drop off in South Texas at 1500 on a holiday Sunday. I got there 24 hours early. No one there. No one showed up until Monday, and he was just running in to get something. I ask him when will someone be here to unload me... Holiday, holiday was all I was told. One of their biggest customer's, I had two 1200 lb bags of fruit-loop pellets. Around 0900 Tues, folks started showing up. So, instead of 1.05 a mile, I got 2.10 a mile and fsc on 1,000 miles.

This past week I had a load dropping off at 0300 in Houston. No one there until 0830, unload at 0900. "...this customer has a 2 hr grace, we will pay you 3 hrs wait" huh, what about the other hour? lol The run paid really good, so I left it at that, and happy to do so.

And, I showed'em how to get out of Houston....

Couple dollars donated at the casino and a nice load out canceled right after we got it on the QC. Ready to roll back east!

Still in Miami area, but not minding it (yet). So nice to be out of any cold weather.

Lynchburg to Beloit, where there are no palm trees, and not nearly enough degrees.

Hopefully when you return you'll bring the spring weather with you. I went to wash my pickup truck this morning and the hoses were frozen at the coin operated car wash! Got back in the truck and saw it was only 14degrees......sheeeesh!
