1 trash truck to Ortonville MN (delivered)

... spending the night at home

No alarm, but we are up and watching the load board when they open.

BB spends an hour (confirmed by her phone) on the phone with SS. Yep, 65 is coming up.

Finally close to noon there are two short rentals. I call one dispatcher who says to call the other dispatcher. I call the 2nd one and he is at lunch and will call me back later (the down side of working with that terminal, it's like a part time hobby for them.)

So we leave and run errands. Two hours later I still have not heard back.

I call and they are just getting back to the office. Then we talk. The two trips I want are 12 miles each ... BUT ... the shipper will no longer give us those trips because the carrier is paying us/the drivers, $200+. Plus the carriers overhead. And we find out that that shipper is no longer going to be giving us 1,000+ mile trips because it is cheaper for them to flat bed them. More lost work. The short ones are great money, now we know they are <> gone. We never did a long trip so no lost to us there.

So no work, but now we know. Would have been a great 3rd day for a good week.

Later on our errand trip, we drop off my paperwork for my trash truck trip. That was our 'work' for today.

Then we went for another walk before heading home.

There is still a trip to IA on the load board but doesn't pay much. Two hours dead head to and two hours from and the trip is about an hour long. Better than staying home? Maybe.
