dont do what one of our drivers did, ask questions

well since he forgot the trailer, i'd assume he'd forget to turn on his 'puter.

 

Then there will be a

 

my money's on the cat that wins.

 

That's cheating you have to pick before the fight

 

youve never worked for a large company, have you? haha. ive worked a couple places that doing things lacking sense was sop.

in reference to your thread: the big picture - get it. otherwise one is in for a tough time.

 

ok, before the fight starts, there will be one winner?

 

2 cats + 1 fight = 1 winner and 1 loser

 

He's been there 5 years, you've been there 3 months.
lll go out on a limb and say he knows your boss
And how the company operates 100 times better
Than you.
How do you know he hasn't bobtailed up there before
And picked up a trailer.

He might have done it multiple times. You have know idea.
You don't even know if it was a actual conversation.
It could have been a simple text message sent or
Read the wrong way.

If your boss can't can't keep drivers
And is always complaining that nobody wants to work
Anymore.
That means he can't find enough drivers willing to
work long hours For little pay.
That what he's really saying.

 

Same thing goes for routing.

Crete/Shaffer uses Rand McNally for routing, for example.

I always check my routes to make sure they are sane.

Rand McNally apparently has old or bad data on at least three major roads. US-287 between Fort Worth and Denver, US-93 between Las Vegas and Phoenix, and the interstate intersection of I-22 and I-65 by Birmingham.

All three of those routes give me serious issues when I try to plan them on my personal Rand McNally TD730, with the most recent maps.

All three of those roads are very important truck routes, but Rand has bad data on them, so my company does too.

They just tried to route me west from Phoenix, AZ into southern CA, and then all the way up US-99 and I-5 to Fife, Washington.

I took one look at that route and ignored it. Driving up 93 through Nevada and Idaho, then take I-84 to Washington.

Yes, I am under 51,500 going on US-93 in Idaho. No permit required.

 

He was "talked to" and then he decided that he wanted to work for a company that told him what to do all the time - his words.

To clarify something about the load, it was foam padding used in packaging, very light just bulky.

On that truck there were no load gauges, it was a standard dash with just a turbo and EGT gauges.
