Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

Made it back to GP after navigating the Texas triangle back to Poltex. Rolling out in the morning with my old standby load going to Brownstown for Friday morning. Supposed backhaul picking up across the state and returning to Dallas which should set me up nicely for a Monday morning load heading to home. Unfortunately home time will be spent loading all my #### up from NC and taking it across the country to my new digs in Las Vegas. Really looking forward to having that trip knocked in the head.

 

Returned to the Pepsi plant as requested by the lying sack of #### broker. Talked to the security and receiving people. They haven't had the policy of just "squeezing in" drivers for a while... (hence my reference to the "lying sack of ####). I have made one final attempt at getting this broker to solve this issue before I request to drop the load on the next unsuspecting driver...AVOID having to deal with Hybrid Transit Systems brokerage unless you like dealing with problem loads and confused people.

 

SS, Don't care what the broker said. If the consignee tells me no appointment, no delivery, I'd immediately get backhaul involved. And since you are in Minneapolis metro area suggest a 900 diff until broker can get a set appointment.

 

anyone goin up 65 north from louisville to indiana i would get on the radio before u do, shut down for construction from the 41 to the 50, they make u get off and go up 31 but its backed up all the way around, they said it was like that yesterday too, sounded like it may be that way for awhile not sure, it was bad tho.

 

Wow,all that drama getting loaded late last night , the customer down in Dallas is screaming for their stuff , and the trailer just started losing a super single!
I stopped just in time before it blew . Half it's tread is gone .
Im in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma , this could take a while .

 

Just got off the phone with both back haul and outbound. They do not allow (or maybe no longer allow) 900 diff's at UPN. Plus the broker says they will get me worked in...3 levels of management at Pepsi say NO we won't. I lose both ways. In the name of customer service, I had outbound take me off the NM 3 stopper so it can still be assigned and delivered in a reasonable time...now I am waiting once again for this Yahoo at Hybrid to get his #### straight...probably one of the most frustrating loads of my time here...but I still enjoy working here none the less.

 

if ur by mcalester tell the guy that comes out it wasnt the fuel filter on the last poly truck he serviced,i didnt think it was but what do i kno

 

Im 90 miles from nowhere , out near Nowata , Ok. , and it's here that I became puzzled .

i called mike at the shop to ask how in the world I'm supposed to take a nearly blown out Super Single
back to Poly GP since my trailer is cable sealed and I can't fit the big nasty thing in the cab without ruining the truck interior.
He asked me who in the world told me I need to bring back a blown tire ? ...... "Orientation Did",
I replied.
"All blown tires are to be returned to Poly" ( per orientation )
He says no way , and don't even worry about it , the on site repair guy will dispose of it .
...... " oh , that's cool" I thought to myself

 

For those of you that don't have unlimited data plans, take a gander, and eat your heart out :

 

Don't forget to pester the broker for detention. If it looks like it won't be today I'd call Pat or Martin involved in an effort to get a 900 diff.
