Okay dispatch sad sit tight, but only for dry run pay. What happens if the customer says they won't pay a TONU.

Then again the customer isn't responsible for his company telling him to sit tight, that's going to between driver and company.

These are just my thoughts and could be wrong.

There's a guy at the post that sings that on karaoke nights. But he's nowhere near as good as the original. But he has fun.

The day shift dude and I laid these tubes on their sides. Delivered this morning at 05:00, 17 hours later than originally scheduled. The shipper booked this load through a 3PL, no surprise there. What blew me away was that this 3PL's business hours are from 9:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. I don't know if they are forced to answer phones during lunch, but after 4:30 they are incommunicado. This 3PL wasn't Uship but their name ended in .com and I felt like one of those morons on that Uship show.

I got paid $135 detention time. Had I spent another day, I would have received an extra whopping $75 layover pay. My previous carrier paid $40 every ½ hour after the first hour. Detention time was rare and the most I ever collected was for 1 hour.

The shipper called the freight mill rolls and the consignee called them cores. They were plastic tubes for shipping rolls of polyurethane film. Total weight of the 4 cores was 800 pounds.

It was 657 loaded miles and I got paid for one night of sleeping. So yeah, not too bad except I have 20 vans in front of me on the Romulus board.
