{"text":"Yesterday I had a load that was supposed to be ready at 10:00. I arrived on time and it in fact was not ready, I didn’t leave til 13:00. I thought fine no big deal it’s a short trip I can still make it to my drop on time at 21:30. There are 5 weigh stations on my route and my load is 37,444 so I head to scale before I pass weigh station. Takes 30-45 min to even get on the scale at the TA because the set up was made without any thought. I finally get on the scales and my tandems are 38,745 🙃 I think surely something is wrong. I see my tandems are pretty far forward let’s move them back only I don’t have enough holes to move almost 5k weight, btw my drives are only 22,222. I move my tandems all the way back anyway just to see and I am still almost 3k overweight. To shorten the story I end up getting reworked, though I scaled again and now I am 37589 on my tandems and at the 40 mark. Still not enough holes to move that much weight to my drives and my drives are still about 22k 🙃. So I go back and it is now 17:45 because I had to talk to my lovely office folk before I made any more moves. They take a few pallets off and I head to scale. FINALLY! I can’t start my trip. 5-6h later I arrive at final and they will not take load says has to be rescheduled to the morning. I call the after hours crew, they tell me it was rescheduled at 16:00 😬 I was top with my office around that time and they said nothing and I got no messages on my Zonar except to watch for ice because there was a winter advisory in the area.  So the Planners set up a tcall 2.5 hours from the final. I have been on this load since 10:00 it is now 01:15 no way I can make that legally. I already applied my split to come this far and I’m on my last hour.  I find parking on the side of the road and attempt to sleep. I wake up and the load has been rescheduled for SATURDAY AND I LOST MY NEXT LOAD!  So now I am sitting on a load that should have took 5-6hrs to deliver and maybe 2 to unload and I am not being compensated for lost time and money. I’m sure people will say this is normal or you chose this but why did this get normalized? Is time not money? Do efforts mean nothing? Is the sky even blue 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😂","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Don’t ever worry about the next load until you can finish the one your on, that’s not a typical truck driver day. Our whole agenda is hurry up to wait, so just do what you can and handle only what you can control. Things happens all the time especially in trucking.","replyToPid":0}
