The day to day ramblings of the LTL business.

We got a few reefers floating around. Pretty beat up pups too. Their to keep the trailers warm for certain freight. Also when we have a driver appreciation BBQ on the dock keeps the sodas cold too.

 

I'm a grocery guy, so I pull reefer trailers frequently. The last few Fridays I've been picking up water at Crystal Springs, their dock is COLD. The loaders appreciate it when I crank the temperature to 80! Lol.

 

Didn't Motor Cargo have a bunch of refers in there fleet?

 

I worked in Tuesdays snow storm fiasco transit ran late and I left with 18 deliveries and brought 2 back. It happens.

 

I've heard the song state above both the melody and the lyrics. They actually after 4 months made some corrections to my Tuesday route. It got to big it just kept growing every week and I was doing my work and a lot of other guys work to. Anyhow corrections were made because it was getting out of hand.

 

Hey MACK, please don't think I'm picking on you here, just because I'm quoting three of your posts!

WHAT snow storm? I was running around in shorts and a T shirt! Oh I had a light windbreaker on early in the day, but shed it by about 1000.

Well now, we sure can't disappoint that driver, can we? Who cares how much money it costs the company????
They have a "thing" going?

Big reels of cable! How I hated those. We had one driver that had one on his pup, and it was not secured properly. Hell, I don't know if it was secured at all...Anyway, he was way out in the boonies in BF Utah and the reel comes part way through his back door. So here he is beside the highway, out of Nextel range, with this wire reel pushed through his door. Obviously, he can't open the door, or what is left of it, but if he could, it wouldn't do him any good anyway, as he couldn't have moved that spool by himself...
And of course, he still had deliveries on the pup. They sent the company hook out and between he and the hook driver, and the boom on the hook, managed to get the wire spool pushed back into the pup. Then they had to go in and try to secure it, through this stuck door with a hole in it.
Sort of glad that did not happen to me.....

 

There is a division called Supply Chain Solutions--could that have been it?
