We were expecting to be en route toward Nixa at this very moment, but the weekend dispatch crew failed to authorize our trip toward home. So, here we sit, bobtail, at the Flying J.
My day started in Flint, Michigan – picking up a loaded trailer. After two short stops, I relayed the load at our yard near St. Louis. I found a couple of defects on the trailer, so I reported them to our shop & parked the trailer in the maintenance row. Afterward, I called weekend operations to see what the status of our homeward trip was. my disgust was somewhat mitigated by the fact that the company was paying for my truck wash at the nearby Blue Beacon. Having a clean truck is always a morale booster. My co-driver is inside the Denny's, currently, enjoying a real meal. He was not too happy by the news. Perhaps some fattening food will ease his temper.
