Well, how do I start......
Ok I got an assignment that wasn't going to get there on time even if I drove for 2 days straight. Anyway, I had lots of delays at shipper and then the great construction that has been going on this summer (which they have not completed yet). I called dispatch and told them my new ETA and sent it over the Qualcomm to have a record of it. And I also called the customer and got a good response. They are pushing my appointment until noon. 0400 was unrealistic. They were pretty cool about it. And had informed me that I-35 was supposed to be suspended of construction for the next 2 weeks because of some event happening around Oklahoma city. So now no more stress about my appointment time. If anyone else is coming this way south there is a great lightning display in the sky tonight.
Best to all, and keep the rubber side down.

Shipper:
The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.
Qualcomm:
Omnitracs (a.k.a. Qualcomm) is a satellite-based messaging system with built-in GPS capabilities built by Qualcomm. It has a small computer screen and keyboard and is tied into the truck’s computer. It allows trucking companies to track where the driver is at, monitor the truck, and send and receive messages with the driver – similar to email.
