Where ya been? let me take a stab at this, you loaded at Cambells soup in Napoleon Oh, delivered in Buckeye AZ at the wally world dc, you got hung up there for 3 days because the PO's didnt match, after that your travel agent bounced you to Yuma for a load of lettuce but when you got there you noticed your TK took a crap so they decided to bounce you on out to Long Beach, you arrived in Ontario on Sat, parked at the TA east got a cab with a couple of others and headed for Cherry street. Once you got there you met up with a fella needing a favor, he neede you to make a quick run up to Barstow to Ripp Off's to pick up his truck that his team partner had left in the lot. As you started up the hill bobtailing the revenue rangers stopped you for a quick inspection, turned out you had some bad brake adj and you log book wasnt complete, got put out of sevice for 24 hours. you turned around and heaed back to the TA and found the bosses new Utility with a dead reefer was stolen. After sitting for two days he got you a lease trailer and a new load, you ran BACK to Yuma to load at Dole and found out the dang broker gave you a wrong pick order, now your heading back to El Centro. After you get to El Centro you sit for 2 days because they have to "chill" your load, you finally got that on and headed back to Yuma where you sat for another day and a half. Now you finally got the trl loaded and now its time to go to the POINT! After ariving at the POINT 4 days late because you ran into an old friend at W Memphis and went on a drinking binge and when you finally sobered up you ran in to ice storms and closed roads, anyhow, you got to the point and Pedro and his buddy Achmed decide they don't need the lettuce anymore, now you sat for the rest of the week while the broker argued with Achmed and Pedro. Finally they sent you to Packer Ave in Philly to the market. Once there you went to the Walt Whitman TS to spend the night, woke up in the morning freezing cold only to find out some Arkansas Chicken Hauler stole the fuel out of your truck and reefer, both shut off. after a couple of hours of getting everthing going againyou find that the lettuce froze, and you don't have enough for a gate fee and cant get into the market. come to find out that Vinnie decided he didnt need your lettuce. broker says to hell with it, sends you to some Amish farm not far from Lancaster PA and you have to unload it all. After you finished you noticed that your back is killing you and you tell your dispatcher that you want to go home, but no, he has a driver stuck in Carlisle who cant make it to the POINT by morning,is this when you told dispatch to go(yankee talk) off? Anywho, you made it back. Good to hear from ya.
