Going on hour number 3 of waiting at the shipper for freight that isn't here. It went out on UPS shortly before I arrived. The shipper has been closed for an hour and the paying customer hasn't responded.

Don't get into reefer freight. I've finished two loads, and probably spent 30 hrs waiting on getting loaded or unloaded.

I have to sit at the shipper until 06:00 to collect detention pay. There is no place close to layover so I will spend the night here. I usually sleep well when getting paid by the hour. Come morning this load will be a dry run because the freight isn't here. More money for doing nothing but sitting.

One of mine will snap off at least once a year, I carry a spare now. Maybe I should stop buying used ones

Speaking of europarts. I received a part today from them. The box was packed tight with confetti for packing. What a freaking mess trying to get the part out. I should of just put the whole box in a trash bag first
