How's this for a bad week. Monday dispatched to Columbus Ohio for a load to laredo. I get to shipper and the crate is 37x155. I have an extended sprinter, and I just put a permanent bunk behind the front seats. I even told my dispatch this LAST week. So no go on the load, and no pay from company. Tuesday I take a short one from Cincinnati to Columbus. Wednesday I DH to Indianapolis for a load to laredo. I get there and the load is in Winchester ky 3 hours away, so no go again. I message them today and I get nothing going on. Might be time to find a new company.

If you can stay out of Atlanta, STAY OUT!!! I 85 North of I 75 split is closed. BRIDGE COLLAPSE due to fire
and the Northbound side collapsed. Southbound will also be closed until further notice. Northbound I 85 will be closed for months.

With all my doom and gloom this week with my roof getting ripped open, Got some good news. From the plants insurance company they admit full guilt told me to have em start repairs and asked me if I wanted a rental truck. I'll take the lost revenue settlement vs a rental truck and try to get some things done at the house.. But it only good news at this point, no check has been issued to repair shop, so time will tell. To avoid being disappointed, I'm still excepting something to go sour. If everything lines up good I'm sure it will be a full week tied up at the shop with a complete replacement. Shop said 2- 3 days work once they start but I'm not believing that. Im sure they didn't figure coffee breaks into that time frame. :)

Heading that way now. Dallas to Gainesville GA. Should be around 6AM. Looks like we can take I-20 thru Atlanta then go up I-285 to I-85. The trick will be getting thru before rush hour.

Agreed that he went home.... i do Believe however OVM is doing a test to see if he can live a Normal life without posting on EO ...

Or maybe Juju has just Grounded him for a week of Honey-dos without EO posting abilities ...
