Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

I swear, if the drivers here were as disorganized as operations, this company would be closed. The load info for the load to McDonough said it had to drop by 0700 this morning, so I left Cartersville at 0430 to give myself a jump on Atlanta morning traffic. I get there, they tell me that the load isn't due until tomorrow at 0100, so just drop on the yard. My current load's info said the ready time was 1600, and I timed the start of my day based on that so I could get the load picked up and back to Marietta before my 14 was up. I get to the shipper early, and they say my load's ready time isn't until 1900... fortunately they're running ahead of schedule and he said it's being loaded shortly and to check back around 1700. How do people stay here for decades with this mass confusion and total disorganization. In all my years I have never worked for a company who got it wrong more often than they got it right. Hell, I have a broken clock at home, and it's right twice a day.

 

Not sure if it's just my Peoplenet, or if it's everyone's, watch your logbooks closely. Yesterday, after being dispatched on this load, the trip number never showed up, so I had to add it manually. Then this morning neither the trip number nor the current trailer number were on today's log, so I had to put them both back in.

 

Sales for the company CPAP machines must be down so they need a reason to test more drivers so they can boost sales

 

Got my 1st Flying Pilot fuel stop in 25 days. They must get one heck of a discount over the pump price. I stopped at the Byron, GA Pilot and the pump price was $5.09/cash, across the interstate the QT had the cash pump price at $4.69

Oh, and love bug season has started a little early this year...time to dig out the jug of Dawn already.

Maybe they're screwing it up to get the drivers acclimated to how Swift works so when they buy us out, they're ready.
