Lol i took nick black friday shopping once. we each had lists of what to get. needless to say I had everything on mine before he found one on his. It was quite entertaining.
After about 50hrs in Detroit we are loaded to Iowa. I really hope that things start to turn around a bit :/ I know as frustrating as it is to us, it is for dispatch because they have a bunch of angry drivers calling.
We had a pilot program for a while when we were at Tri State. we liked it because usually the loads were offered over the qc before the call so we had a chance to look at it and could make an educated decision on profitability of the load verses a split second decision.
Being in a van its a bit different for us, but we try to switch between 11pm and 2 am. I then drive until about 8-11 am. we try to switch at convient times, such as fuel stops. That way I have a clean windshield and a bathroom break.
