A few years ago we sat for 7 days in Orlando FL and 7 days in Hildalgo TX. We were new to the biz purchased a new hino that wouldnt start if you turned it off and we had no apu. We were flat broke from all the money going into the fuel tank. It was so hot out we had no choice but to run the truck. I can now look back and have a good laugh you live and learn and we are still here for the long haul.

OMG dude, if you sat there for more than a week, you should drive home, taken the stickers off the van and applied to another company.
There is no reason for sitting in Laredo for more than 3 days, a week if taking side work smuggling or something like that but not 19 days, not one reason.

obviously you havent been there in awile, greg.
81 hours in L.A. last week. Most of that over a weekend. WAY beyond our norm.

It don't matter if I was or not.
If you sit for more than a few days and have a van - M O V E
If your company tells you don't move and you listen to them and still haven't gotten anything - change companies.
It is not like they shut down the border or freight is frozen across the country.
This is a business, right Guido?
