When I came home last Friday I told dispatch that I would be ready to go again this Friday (today). After more than six weeks out I am still not feeling quite ready to go but dutifully called in to dispatch to get my load information. I was really hoping she would tell me that she didn't have anything for me yet.
I lucked out and she did indeed say that she hadn't yet found a decent paying load for me. Yippee! I didn't want to hit the road yet anyway. I told her that was just ducky for me and to just look for something for Monday. She actually sounded relieved. I think she expected me to be pissed that she hadn't found me a load yet.
While it doesn't do my income any favors sometimes getting some extra rest is a higher priority and this is one of those times.
Ok, I'm just feeling lazy as hell, but sometimes that's ok too.
