He was supposed to be home this morning after being out two weeks. He was going to pick up a load in Delaware and do a split load- meet someone else and trade trailers, so he'd bring an empty home and the guy would continue the load to Florida.
Well, the guy's truck got sold and he wasn't going to have a truck until Monday. Doug's dispatcher was "looking into it" and was supposed to call him back. Doug didn't hear anything, and called Friday night to find out what was going on. His dispatcher had left and night crew said "we don't know, take it up with weekend crew". So he waited until this morning, "we don't know, you have to ask your fleet manager Monday". ARGH!
He sat from yesterday evening until 6pm tonight waiting for the load to be ready, and now he's taking it to Florida. Great miles (over 1,000, yahoo!), but he doesn't know when he's going to be home. They don't like the drivers to take weekdays off, so now it may be next weekend before we see him. That's three weeks out!
BOO!!!
