Thankful to whomever invented Razor Wire. NOT a good area, Highland Park.
All woman doors were locked down when I pulled in just now.
Wanted to connect with an employee to make sure it was okay if I slept inside their fence.
Nobody answered so I went and locked up/covered up my windows. People walking by, people riding bikes by.
Hoping, hoping, hoping they'd close that Gate and after about a 1/2 hr. it began beeping and closed.
Guessing they have Cameras somewhere and saw my Sprinter and that IT was still open.
Mags is already out. She's the Bestest!
7am load time. Good night.

Mission Complete! You know 1400 miles you have a lot of time to ponder.. I look around this old van and see all the gadgets I have, iPad, iPhone, wireless hands free headset, GPS, dash cam, iPhone is plugged into the dash to play my iTunes, I then realize that I've become a Hi-Tech Redneck, goodnight folks!

Still here. Not Loaded. An obvious problem with Communication somewhere between three businesses. I'm calm, used to it. Supposed to pick up 3 Skids totalling 900#. Here at Shipping they're saying each one is WELL OVER 1,000 #.
I'm waiting patiently for Dispatch to have ironed it all out.
Hope you all got something or else are home.
I know I'd love a Cup of coffee and an Egg McMuffin right about now!

they didn't call the driver?

Nope. I don't mind the calls if they aren't getting positions. Sometimes MacroPoint sucks.
But after spending 12 minutes on the phone teaching him to search his emails for his pro #s, I think he just never worked with someone that cared enough to save him time and effort by sharing those little hints.
He sounded like a good guy. Well, both of them. 2 guys over two shifts.
