WHAT A FIRST WEEK ON THE JOB,,,,,,

I don't know where to begin,I left out last week wed. for a delivery from Byron Center Michigan to Kenosha WI., delivered on time and had some time to kill before the next pick up in West Chicago,IL
Stopped at the t/a in Russell,IL,got fuel and showered and headed out to West Chicago,got to the pick up 40 minutes before the scheduled pick up time and after checking in they told me i was in the wrong place that i was at the wrong place i needed to go to an address on Racine in Chicago,,,,about 50 mi. away,called disp and notified them,they called back and said the customer made a mistake on the pick up so i transversed Chicago on the surface streets and long story short clipped the top of the trailer on a low underpass,and when i got to the Racine address nobody there knew anything about the pick up,contacted the dispatcher and come to find out i needed to go somewhere else to make the pickup so off i went finally picked the load up,it was going to lithia springs GA.drove to Remington in,slept for a few hrs and headed to GA,,,,,,,blew a tire in whitestown IN, at the t/a exit ,took about an hour and a half to get a recap installed and off once again to GA,dispatched informed me that they would take me when i got there after i told her i would be there at 9 to 930 pm (my apt was for 8 pm) well i got there at 930 pm and they were in the process of letting the crew go home early ,,,which in turn caused me to miss my next pick up at 8am in the morning,so i got unloaded and dispatch was in touch with the next p/u and called me at 12 and said someone was going in to load me at 3pm so i went to the place,got there at 2 and waited till 6pm for someone to show up and load me ,,,,,,,dlvd that load and picked up next load in Hebron,KY took 2.5 hrs to load when i got to the delivery after setting there for 1.5 hrs they told me i needed to go to there warehouse 18 miles away,,,finally del, that load and went home after setting for a day trying to find a load home (160 mil) WHAT A WEEK FOR THE FIRST WEEK BACK AFTER BEING OFF FOR A WHILE HUH...... so busy i didn't have time to post untill now wow!
