The load I'm scheduled to pick up later today (the one I had to wait just under 10hrs for) is 627 miles. They did do the right thing and schedule me a load from Kitchener, ON to Laredo, TX after this one is complete. That load is 1,724 miles. Helps, but I still hate sitting. Not to mention sleeping all last night, working/driving less than an hour this morning, and now having to run all night.

Well at least you got to sleep/rest up so you can hammer down on the next 2300 miles. :thumbsup: Fresh hours, let'er roll.

LOL - yup - hate this overnight driving, though, especially in the freaking rain

[Malaki86]

Ughhh - Don't you hate when your plans get screwed up by someone else's incompetence?

When I finished the p/u @ 7:30pm, the shipper said they would fax & email the customs paperwork. Well, at 10:30pm, I call in to see if the load had cleared yet. About 2 hours later, I get a message that I needed to resend the fax because they hadn't received it yet. I get this message when I'm about 1.5hrs from the border. Faxed it over 2hrs ago and still waiting for the clearance. So, screw it - bedtime for Bonzo here. It'll get there sometime tomorrow afternoon.

So... does that mean that when someone screws up and you sit for hours unable to do anything.... that you don't get PAID for it? Somehow, I doubt it.

Just sayin'

I've gotta say - after I spoke to my DM about this, I'm doing anything BUT sitting. I'm bumping my 70hr clock solidly now. I'm scheduled to deliver tomorrow morning @ 9am and when I do, I'll have in the neighborhood of 15 minutes left on my 70 (gain 8.5 @ midnite). My 7 day week will have a tad over 4,000 miles dispatched (4,145 to be exact).

Sometimes whining DOES help LOL
