I am boned.. Stuck in Phoenix until Sunday morning. [View all]

I'm a trucker, running almost exclusively between Southern California and the Chicago area. My run to Chicago was tripped up by a delay in off loading due to a problematic asshole at one of my regular stops.

The assclown in question had been demoted, and banished deep in the cold storage warehouse about 6 months ago. While he was in exile everything was hunky-dory.

Well I found him back at his old receiving position, and I was delayed for no good reason for the better part of the day. That caused a delay picking up my return load, a rare run to Phoenix.

I missed my appointment by 12 hours and now I have to wait until Sunday morning to drop, which means I can't grab the load scheduled for me to take back to L.A.

So now I'm stuck in a truck, in the Sonoran Desert, for the weekend.
