Well I did eventually get out of that insane asylum, but it was just before they turned off the lights at the place. So five hours after I arrived I was on my way, which I think is a record for that place, especially since I didn't get sent home empty like the person I found in our Toledo yard that night. Lucky her, she got to go back again today to try for that load again.
After loading I gave dispatch a call and let them know my expected ETA for Strasburg, and had them find out if anyone would even be there today in the afternoon, the answer was no, so I deliver first thing Friday morning. I looks like it will be a nice enough drive down, and hopefully they will be true to word and be there at 7 AM like they said they would be.
Then it will either be a broker load to some other location, or head for home with an empty trailer and check Monday for my next load. Either way, it will be some decent miles, a lot more this week than I expected, so it will really help since the last three weeks were so light on miles.
It will be interesting to see what the new year will bring, hopefully some other customers than the GM. Though we did get some good runs after getting the loads out of this failed supplier, the hard part was getting the loads.
