And the truck is on the road....FINALLY!!! I was starting to think it was never going to happen...that we would have this rather large, red beast sitting in our driveway (testing the patience of the neighbors, taunting them and telling them "go ahead...call the big, bad, POA) for the rest of time.
Oddly enough, just when I had started to give up the faith, a load. Thank you, Trucking Gods!
I was ecstatic, as was my sweet Driver. Finally, forward motion and money coming in, rather than going out. Let's just say that we have launched some seriously high-dollar checks into businesses like the Peterbilt, the graphics guy, Thermo-King.... you name it. If it has anything to do with trucking, it has received a lofty payment from our account.
So off he goes in all his red glory... and then the shit hits the fan. He got a load, but it didn't exactly come from the guy who was supposed to find him a trailer 30 hours ago... and that guy didn't know jack about it. He calls with information about a trailer that is God knows how many miles away (but we will pay him) and a "special project" that they want him to do. There was no knowledge of this load that my husband had already headed out for. Oops.
Needless to say, this caused a bit of scattered drama and extra stress for my husband. Since I have pulled my husband's account in the system and seen that he does have a load assigned, and that there is money on his Comdata card, the dropped ball is now between trailer-man and great-load-lady to figure out.
So.... we are now looking at money coming in... and I am beyond relieved to have my driveway back!
