I unloaded yesterday here at home since falling off my trailer. It was maybe 30 outside and I had to untarp. I finished around 9am and by 10 I could barely walk. It was the first work I did since falling down. I've found a new cure though. Pizza and shots of tequila. Right now I feel like crap so I don't feel anymore pain.

Unloaded this morning in Mentor, OH with a bunch of steel rod bundles. The receiver was all bent out of shape because there was no vertical blocks in between. I just busted my butt taking off 2 tarps, chains, straps and 4 homemade bulkheads in between the bundles and this fat azz receiver is complaining because he has to put a rod in between and push them 4" apart.
Where's the vertical blocks? Got me? There's suppose to be vertical blocks? Got me, I'm just the truck driver. You should have given specific instructions to the shipper. I did. You should call and bitch at them, I'm just the stupid truck driver, I don't work for the shipping company. He didn't talk to me at all after that.
Like the load I picked up before this one going to SC. Paid $1,700 for less then 500 miles. Unheard of. Got to the shipper on Friday and shipper said about time, your 2 days late. I said not me, I just arraigned to pick up the load 2 hours ago. He said well, Landstar was suppose to pick this up 2 days ago. Ya well, I'm an independent, I don't work for Landstar, like I said, I just arraigned to pick this up 2 hours ago. It has to be delivered today. Nope, Monday. I can't drive that much and be there before 2pm. Pretty much the same thing on the other end when I delivered. You were suppose to be here last week on Thursday!!!! Give them the same story. So, in the end, everyone is pizzed off at me. I just kept thinking of the $1,700.
From what I can gather the load was what Landstar calls, "In Distress". Their truck never showed up. They put all the money into the load plus some of theirs. They saw my truck 20 miles away. It was kind of funny. They acted like I worked for them. It pays $1,700 and we need you there NOW. Yup, I'm ur beoutch, leaving now.

Let us get real here for minute if we may. Look here dipshit loader and warehouse people. This shit has been sitting here for how long now? Now you are going to raise a fuss about what time of day i get there? I am going to bust my ass to get it to where it is going and they are going to raise a fuss about if it is too early or too late.
Jesus H Christ! does it really make a difference? It is just going to sit in the warehouse any way.

Ha ha ha, no kidding. But seriously, I've tried to think of how I can explain I'm an independent. I had nothing to do with the scheduling. I literally picked up the phone 1 hour ago and agreed to the load. They don't look at it that way. They made arraignments for it to be picked up on Wed and you show up on Friday? What's your problem you filthy rotten baby raping mother trucker?

Your last 3 load confirmations?
When I'm bored I search for bluetooth devices near me then try to connect. It requires the other person to accept and if I'm lucky it's someone near me that I can see. I put the phone on my lap then hit the button and pretend like I'm just a dumb f*** looking around. I can see them looking left and right trying to figure out who is trying to break into their phone.

Sarcastic remark goes here
LMAO. Somebody around here has a wide open printer like that & I thought of doing the same thing but there's no bars on the signal meter for it. I walked around with my laptop & figured out it's the sod farm office about 500 yards away. I'd have to stand out in the cold to do it. Maybe in the spring or summer I'll do it.
That reminds me of when I was a kid. Everybody had the same cable box & the same remotes. We'd go out at night with the remote & sneak up to people's living room windows & change the channel, then sit there & watch them change it back. Then we'd do it again & again until the person would start looking at their remote like something was wrong with it. One guy took the batteries out of his remote & we still kept messing with it so he turned the TV off.
Back then, TV's didn't have remotes & the cable box had an outlet on the back. When you turn off the cable box, you turn off the TV. So we were able to turn his TV back on. Totally freaked the guy out but then my friends started laughing really loud & the guy looked out the window so we took off running. We looked back & saw him turn on his porch light & look outside.
There's this broker called "Lone Wolf". They have no credit rating and constantly post rates well below other brokers. I couldn't resist and sent them an email a moment ago.
I just wanted to say thanks for giving me a good laugh everyday. I love clicking on your loads especially when you have no credit rating and you offer in many cases $1,000 less then what other REPUTABLE brokers are offering.
You guys based in CA? I'm assuming so, you all must be stoned.
Once again, thanks for my daily laughs!
