We ended up taking today off. And the prior two days.

The run that I had been looking at with the long haul company was gone early this AM and the local company never called.

So we watched the board all day. Ran a lot of numbers. Dispatch called BB looking for drivers that is something they do not do very often. We can't find anything short that pays our minimum, so it would be working just to keep busy ... and help them out.

And we listened in to the company meeting today that was started Friday but they had issues with the phone lines so cut it off. Long haul company wants to expand. Sounds like they just bought another trucking company which about doubles the number of trucks they have on the road.

One thing I picked up on from my trucking days is they do not want any broker freight. That is freight the shipper gives to a broker because the broker charges less than the truck lines ... and then expects the truck lines to still move it after the broker takes their cut. Some trucking companies live on that freight, not these guys.

And they are on a big push to switch over to 'cloud based' dash cams. That way the office can look at the footage as soon as the accident happens.

Now that we are back home, WA has six runs back to IL and NC has 5 runs back to Circle Pines MN. Timing.

BB has an appointment tomorrow, if we see anything we might leave right after ... or not.

She has the appointment tomorrow, then one on Monday and Tuesday. And then again in two weeks on Monday and Tuesday. And then a month after the second one she has another two appointments.
