An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Big shock, the central planner is still looking for a load. My PTA was set last week, it was set for this morning, and naturally, they're still looking for a load. And before anyone says freight is slow, in the 2.5 years I have worked here, I can count on one hand the number of times having been preassigned a load out of the central planner's zone (and still have enough fingers left over to play a 3 chord blues riff on my guitar)

 

It isn't my fleet manager. I have had 8 fleet managers, and this happened with all of them. If anyone needs firing, it is the central planner. He would screw up planning a trip to the toilet and end up dropping a dilly bar in his depends.

 

With that many spare tires strapped to the deck, I would say, a lot. I wonder if they have a dedicated tire guy that travels with them.

 

I wish I had a pay guarantee. This weeks miles will be the check I get right before hometime, and so far I have 675 miles for the week. And unless I get something that delivers by Friday, I won't even be able to add any layover time to it. I will officially say it here and now, if anyone is considering SPD or any of the former Daseke companies, DON'T DO IT. Don't walk, RUN from any WTF-I company(or SFI, or whatever we are this week).

 

If he has been here that long, you'd think he would be good at it, or at least better than he is, based on all my years with all my various companies, he is the worst planner I have ever worked with.

I have #####ed until I am blue in the face. Since the Wylie parternership and the WTF-I buyout, the overall give a #### level out of Arlington has dropped. I really don't think they care as long as recruiting keeps butts in the seats, which is the Wylie way.
