Does it get better?

Trucking will only get worse.
Friday night pulled into receiver (very nice lady) told me next building door one. So I go over there and a truck is in door one, guy is eating and he points behind him and I nod yes. He finishes eating and doesn't move, I get out and tell him to park somewhere else. Well he doesn't speak English, called receiver and they send a guy out to tell him he is in the wrong door. He hands the guy the phone to speak to his interpreter while I am telling the pajama wearing mfer to go back to China.
It will only get worse as the gates to America are opened.

 

I would disagree , although we may not see it as often as van drivers or reefer... there is still plenty of a hole in the flatbed industry... not to mention there is a type of driver u will meet out here doing flatbed , the guy thats done it all seen it all and if ur doing it different than him then u might as well be deaf blind and stupid.... That personality runs rampant in flatbed ... especially if u are young like me , everybody and their brother thinks u need to listen to their advice , whether full of #### or not....

 

Driving a truck in a country that you can not speak a lick of that countries language. Perfect.

 

Every generation of trucker says it's only going to get worse.

 

Supermarket refrigeration, we're freaking screaming for help. Electrical companies around here also.

 

And it has gotten worse. The only improvement I see is the comfort level of the trucks.

 

Yeah no *****, the little mom and pop A&P type down the road from me has put in a repair call to two local places and they have him on a waiting list because they lack talent to do the work. Estimated time to look at the problem 7 days. Last year when someone ran into my neighbor’s ac unit with a backhoe, it took a week to get someone out there to replace the unit and recharge it.
