There are a number of reasons a job like that happens, human error being one, your lot may have forgotten about it and you were the only truck available to cover it, or the planned driver had a problem, or another carrier let the customer down, or the customer made a balls up and your lot got them put of the ■■■, it may have been a contract job that had to be done regardless. Strange things happen in offices, only the men behind the desk know the big picture, so it’s best to leave the office dwelling folk to the thinking and just get on with the driving.
As it happens Mark, mine turned out to be the 3rd load in 4 days so I think they knew the rates.
