My Experience with Lone Star Transportation

They sent me more paperwork in the mail. I didn't get it sent back in in time.

 

well in that case, I take it back, you ain't going.

 

Yup, well said.

 

Just wanted to check in with everyone. Sitting here at home, leaving out off of my first home time tomorrow. Got a load of roofing out of IMetco in Norcross, GA headed to a job site in IA for Wednesday. I'm officially a nothing now...got my level/pay bump to 0 as of Monday.

I hate that norcross stuff. It never fails I get those loads when its a record setting day of heat. Last time it was 109 with 89% humidity... took me 3 hours to tarp that thing.

How ya liking the company so far? I've done 2 oversize since I got my level 1... brought stainless steel to Newton, IL today but took so long to unload that I won't get to load at Decatur till tomorrow for Houston. Was supposed to deliver on wednesday.. fat chance of that... but I requested to get to Oklahoma City to get my twic.. and am still waiting on a response. this comcheck/escort/sitting around wasting time is for the birds... that and Lonestar has spent about 800 on escort fees for me so far and I hate wasting resources.

 

So far, I have no complaints. Kristen runs my butt off and I usually know well in advance what my preplans are. This load was....interesting to tarp to say the least. It's 1 piece, 900 lb, and the entire length of the lower deck on a SD. Easy to maneuver on/around. but a 2 ft tall, 1 ft wide load in the center of a SD doesnt take a lot of the overhang out of these tarps, especially seeing as how I had to use one of the big lumber tarps and a 20 footer due to length. So far tarping is the only thing that's really given me pause. It's not especially difficult, I just havent mastered folding the ends yet, and rolling them back up on my own is probably free entertainment for anyone watching.

 

I hate rolling up the big tarps.

 

Never said it was hard.
