Saturday - 8:10 am

Leaving soon.  I have the second load, which really is an unpleasant thought on a Saturday. I'd much rather get the second load run on a weekday ending on a weekday.

Anyway, I got to the washout yesterday and the first load guy was still there. ???  I wrote to the manager, this dude is here at the washout, he should have been at the loading plant 30 minutes ago? 

A new driver, just doing whatever he pleases I guess.  The manager made him wait until I was done loading before he started to load. Which put him late in the day, for when I got done loading, the plant operator put a truck in place right next to and in front of where we load, making it impossible for our driver to back in there. 

The driver hadn't shown up anyway.  I eventually informed the manager I am done, let the other guy know he can come in here.  I also asked if this dude was going to show up late to deliver today (Saturday)?  I got a phone call 30 minutes later from the dispatch lady. Yes, he's going to be there at 10:00 am.  I dunno about that, I thought, why isn't he going to show up at 8:30 or 9?  But, if he's there by the appointment time there isn't much I can say about it.

The only other thing I could have done is get up at 4 am and get unloaded before he even showed up.  No thanks.  

The power company told me they won't locate the lines because it isn't their responsibility, it's mine.  Oh?  I've never heard any utility say they won't locate a line because it's on the person's property before.  Am I supposed to go out and buy the expensive equipment to do the locate?
