At the j in Doswell va. Relocated here this morning from DC. Had 3 calls already. Turned 2 down and ok'd the 3rd which was a bid load. Come to find out that load grew too big to fit on my sprinter so it cancelled. Now waiting on the next call.
Should I laugh or should I cry? Been myself once for a pickup, which it was supposed to be one crate. When I got there, besides that number 1 it was added a 0. They were small, they fitted in my PM, but the weight I'm sure it was a huge lie. They claimed to have only 2500 lbs, but when I hauled 3000 lbs, my van gave me 17 mpg, this time only 15...

OK, I have a plan to improve my revenue stream. I go into Lane Bryant and buy an outfit to wear. Take a picture and show it to the broker and tell him if he doesn't give me the job I'll file an EEO lawsuit for gender bias. Now, the question is, should I get something slinky lime Caitlin or a pantsuit like Hillary? After all, they're BOTH successful transgenders, even if only one admits it!!

If you got some extra $$ for it, then you should be doing neither. If you ran that run for the same rate as it was booked .... then you should be crying. I'm usually very successful at bumping the price if the load is heavier than initially stated.
