You gotta hold down the fishing hole in Chicago with a Tommy gun "AKA The Chicago Typewriter!" In the old days that's what they called it! lol
August. Where you at,

There is a good truck stop in Portsmouth.. The TA. I actually got my second load from Bolt while waiting at that truck stop. I got a load from Providence RI to Owenton Kentucky! Good luck up there!
I see you're not too upset with dispatch this week. You know it is the same no matter what company you work for. I used to jump around a lot and you will have the same issues no matter what you do. Bolt was by far the best company I worked for as far as miles and non-complicated dispatch. I only snapped on Ricky one time because he sent me a load that was 90 miles longer than the paid miles. I was tired and then had to drive 800 miles instead of 710 miles. But they got me out of Denver after being there just 2 days!
My insurance pays 500 a month just to keep me alive lol. I'm a major supporter of the medical industry!

Other few old tricks you can try:
Check engine fuse if equipped
Try to start in neutral.
Tap on starter with hammer(careful).
Turn key on, shifter in park or neutral, and parking brake applied. Hook up jumper cable from battery to starter pos and neg post, use tapping motion to make contact to post to see if the starter will turn(be careful, don't do it if you're not familiar with this).

Unloaded 16 hrs early @Walmart in Greenboro NC...
Good morning from beautifull New Hampshire.
Location : Greensboro NC @ Walmart...........been a slow rain since the middle of the night...sure has cooled things off very nicely...
On I-95, funny thing, I have seen welcome centers on the interstate, rest areas, service areas, BUT, this is the first time I have seen state liquor store ON the highway. They take their motto seriously, "live free or die".
Leaving, NH for CT pick up, then back to Charlotte area. Week off to great start after 2500 loaded two previous weeks. ☺
and the ONLY state where NO seatbelts are required....
