Damn......what should have rung "cha ching" turned into "Geeze am I glad that the holiday pay and driver's meeting pay are on this check".
The second pickup was cancelled for me due to Carolina having MORE than a truckload of crax. 28 pallets make up a full load and they had 30. A second driver was sent down to bring them supplies (pallets, flats and pallet dividers), grab those last 2 pallets and then go pick up Glenwood.
This killed one extra stop pay for me and knocked my mileage back a zone. Effectively it killed about 90 bucks off the trip pay. On top of that, I called for today's load and it turns out they have nothing for me. Shit.....that's another 130 bucks I won't see.
Add to all this that the change in stops also changed my routing back. Had I gone to the Virginia place I would have crossed back west to Roanoke when I left there and ran back up I-81. Since I headed back right from Carolina Egg it put me up I-95 right through DC and Baltimore. AND wouldn't ya know it......I hit DC at 5 PM.......WONderful!
The only saving grace is that I can get a few things done around here before my (already knew it would be) hectic weekend hits.
