Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

It hovers between 30-35. We absorbed 11 from a nearby state closing it's terminal last year. For the most part, each of us( P&D drivers ) can/will do U-Pack,L/H and Dock. Always options. At full capacity for the shop. about 15 of the drivers has 20 years + and always taking time off. So far we are sqeeking by with every full timer getting the hours needed. It's an adventure walking into the unknown during the dead season.

 

oh, that's an easy one.
While I"m taking a break eating inside the Denny's (or whereever) the magic elves are working for 31 minutes unloading my truck.
very useful elves.

 

I've been working 55 hours a week consistently. No slowdown for me, which is too bad I really could use a break

 

65-68 hours a week for me.... no slow down here.... im so ready to take my 1 week when my anniversary comes up soon

 

65-68 hour week, Once a month. I'd buy a C7. Right now my budget says keep the C5 lol
When we approach 50 hours,my TM becomes a dictator have to justify each hour after 50. It's not bad, it's horrible for the folks can't keep control of the finances living well beyond their budget and relies on OT, keeps us other folks sane and not living to work.

Brother... No effing thanks 65-68hrs every week. Some weeks 55 i'm dead. can't imagine up to 68.

 

I agree with the above 100%....... The trick that I use is to get rid of the extra cash AS SOON as I make it (IRA account)


As far as a C7 is concerned.....my opinion on speed is somewhat skewed due to my 750 rwhp bottle fed WS6..... Every time I get in a new y body or viper.... It feels slow (relatively speaking of course)..... Not to mention only 3/4's of the C7 looks great:..............I personally believe the design team of the C7 was getting drunk one night when they suddenly realized that they had in fact NOT finished the C7 (because they forgot about the rearend) and with time running out decided collectively to go to the camaro parts bin to go get rear taillights and use on the C7.....now with that said: I havent completely ruled out a C5 or C6 (and put my motor in it).... There's nothing like a y-body on giggle juice😈

 

c7 looks horrible. no thanks on the rearend. you still work too much.

Have a little over 100k on the 04 z06 ls6, cam and heads. the tune fits my needs as not a quarter mile warrior. few years ago it only put down 488rwhp. more then enough to puddle jump to work and still get 25+mpg

Nice finding other LSx heads on here lol

 

(you'll NEVER hear me say this publicly)

But the best time I've ever had with my car was when I was heads,cam,and MAYBE A small 100 shot......

even with a baby cam (234/238) in the 408.... The car is a "job" to drive on the street when using just a 50 shot.......

with that said: spraying a 200 shot of giggle juice is really FUN😈😈

if I wanna save gas: I drive my 14' Prius C 😉


Now back to the topic: I DO work too much: but when you are at BOTTOM pay, and you like to PLAY as hard as I do..... Only choices are work a lot: either legally or illegally ...... And I value my freedom so the latter is outta the question lol
