We delivered in Ft. Worth and scooted on over to the Dallas OC. We got our next w/a that evening, it was a pisser. We were to pick up a relay trailer there at the OC and deliver at another location in Dallas at 1400. At least it gave Teresa a chance to catch up on all her morning programs; The View, Regis and Kelly and the like. As always I'm hopeful that we can deliver early so we hit the place about 1230. That didn't work. They didn't start unloading till after 1430 and finished at about 1630. Since it was also in Dallas the miles was zero. Seems we get a whopping $25 for a short load. Hurray, a whole day and $25. I think we might get an extra $15 or $25 for detention pay since they took over 2 hours to unload. Then we had a pick up another 20 miles away. But since it's still in Dallas it's zero miles again. So I've driven about 35 miles so far and get no miles recorded I'm OOR (out of route) by 35 miles. Then they, Scheider, wonders why the drivers are OOR. Go figure.
The next p/u was at 1900, but again got there early. This time it helped by about 20 minutes. We got out of there at 2015 and headed for a place to rest. We made it to the Love's truck stop north of town and have about 180 miles left to OKC today. That was supposed to be our start of TAH but we got a message that they may need us to pick up another load around OKC and also drop it at our drop lot in OKC. No details yet. Needless to say we're ready to be done for this 3 weeks on the road.
"Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you" I think yesterday the bear got us!!!
