Well, that's just peachy. I told dispatch last night that my eta for this place was 11:30 local – TODAY. They came back with “ok”... instead of what a sensible person would have done – let me know that the appointment for Monday was firm. In other words, the consignee isn't open for business on Sunday. Wouldn't have given me enough time to make a 34, though it would have been close. It WOULD have saved me from driving around in circles today, looking for a truckstop that no longer exists. That was all kinds of frustrating.
Best place I can find to spend the rest of the day and tonight is a closed weigh station/rest area about 20 miles away from the consignee. Place has a wifi hotspot- but, surprise, surprise, it's not free. And I lack a CC with which to pay – not that I would, anyway. $7 for a day, and $30 for a month. Waaaaay to high.
I'm gonna go play games or something for the next 7 or 8 hours, then bed and up early to get to the consignee's by 07:30. Guh.
