... spending the night at home

Sent local dispatch an email early AM, no reply so I called shortly after noon. We talked, they looked at all their upcoming trips. The only one that would work for me was going to Streator IL. And the only thing going TO Streator is chassis so they double checked. Yes, it is a chassis so no thanks. I took myself off the work list for a couple of days.

They did have a truck going to NE but that wouldn't be a round trip. I'll check back on that one later next week.

My tanker truck is back on the load board. And there is still one truck going to CGO. About 10 miles between the drop and pickup. And so far, that is the reason we are not doing them. They are too close together ??? BB doesn't want to ride with both ways and it doesn't make sense to drive 800 miles to move me 10 miles. We're still working on that one.

I hadn't gotten paid for moving that tanker to the shop so I called settlements (payroll) and ... duh ... it is because the truck has not been delivered. I knew that, but didn't understand they how things are listed on-line.

IA actually did put out a few trips today, all going to WI. But we thought we might have plans with family today that ended up not working out.

I did trade in my phone for a different one. Now that I have played with it I need to stop back at the company store. If it wasn't so hard to text on the flip phone I would just get rid of the smart phone. Need to find one that works for me and buy a few extra's :) so I have a spare if something happens.
