Appointment times

How that's been going on for a good 6 months or more... I'm sure others can chime into and say they've seen the same thing

 

Yes, it's been going on for quite some time now. Also a lot of pick up today deliver end of next week crap.

 

Wait! I thought you were independent contractors running the show?

You sound like..... dare I say..... company drivers (giggles like a little girl)




Stir the pot, stir the pot, oh this is how we stir the pot.

 

Oh boy here we go

 

They times they post for pickups and deliveries makes no sense anymore.

We have several places with open pickups on preloads, and it has always been that way in those places. CS now makes up times, I guess thinking it helps them ensure ontime delivery. Wrong, it results in loads simply not being assigned to trucks.

IP in Valliant sometimes has loads set to pickup by 2359 on a day that is two days earlier than what it needs to be to deliver the load on time. Who's gonna take a load like that? It was never like that until a few months ago.

Simmons in Siloam Springs could care less when we pick up those preloads, but we have stupid pickup windows made up by CS.

And Walmart gives 24 hours before or after a drop window, but for some reason, we now have one day windows to drop those loads, which makes most of them unproductive at best. Wasn't that long ago, most of the Walmart loads showed multiple day drop windows.

All of this seemed to change about the same time.

 

IPO PREP.

 

Well run companies don't do "IPO prep" at the operational level.
