1 layover 2 layover 3 layover....no.....nomore....!!!!!

Maybe I should've stayed in the doghouse...I mean when life hands you lemons you supposed to make lemonade....I couldn't even squeeze it if I tried. After we left the Greyhound adoption agency we headed to Cedar Rapids Ia for the next load. I need to remove the pallets from the last stop first then drop this trailer and p/u a relay heading to Sturtevant Wisconsin a 296 mile run, with problems. I delivered the load on Saturday 6am 4/18 as planned, I checked the work assignment address, then the bills, both different... Work assignment said"open 24 hrs, just come on in" in the quallcomm. Now that's the first time I seen that on a delivery..(shoulde've known)..I arrived there, and bam staring at my face a sign-open 7-12 on Saturdays and Sundays-- aha -- first sign, second I waited till employees arrived at 7 then approached them, found out I was in the wrong place to begin with. So I went to the new building across the ways, third sign, not a soul insight. Drove up to the gate, lifted the guard phone, no answer. I noticed 2 cars near the office and I walked around to it,knocked on the glass, 2 guys opened it up, I asked them if they accepted deliveries on the weekends...nope not a chance....so office made me relay it at the drop yard and waited for another load. An hour later new load p/u on Monday and deliver on Monday, a 107 mile run. Got 2 days layover, shopped stocked the truck with groceries, delivered on Monday and parked again.....can you say layover???? I'm going to sleep it's 1440 now. till next time....Darrell
