Dry Runs
Whats the record for dry runs in one day?
We had 2 today.
Run #1 North Carolina to New York.
Run #2 South Carolina to Arizona.
I had to check the calender to make sure it wasn't Friday the 13th.

Re: Dry Runs
I also have had two in one day, a couple hours apart. It was the same shipper but different destinations. The dry runs are less painful than the Dry Tortugas.

four in six hours - but large compensation for the mess.

Re: Dry Runs
3 in one day, but the first one had 5 stops scheduled. Turns out that run had been double booked and assigned to 2 trucks, with mine being the last one dispatched so the other truck got the run. Dropped anchor to wait and caught a load in about 30 minutes. Got 10 miles down the road and it cancelled. Next one cancelled before I got out of the lot.

We may not be living in the Time of the Apocalypse, but we certainly are living in apocalyptic times.
A Great Quotation that explains much:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
C.S. Lewis quotes (British Scholar and Novelist. 1898-1963)

Re: Dry Runs
5 in less than 24 hours. Talking about being mad my co driver was really mad at FedEx and almost quit. Being with Panther I have yet to have a dry run, but my other trucks have and I'm not on the road like I was before.

So far since Friday 4 of my last 5 runs have been dry runs.
Anyone else having these problems?

Re: Dry Runs
I had 3 in one day, same shipper, showed up for the first one and it canceled, before I could leave had a offer for another on, backed back in to the door, and it canceled, third one, I didn't even get off the phone and was offered a great one, this time skid was loaded I signed the paper work and as I walked out the door, it canceled. and I've never been back to that shipper.
