Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

You know the warehouse can pack 1087 cubes and 26,317LBS in one of those LOL. Don't worry, you are only over weight to you first stop(all the way out in Harrisburg,PA)LOL

 

I didn’t know 26,317lbs was the cut off. (Not surprised though.) That’s plenary heavy enough.

 

23k was the heaviest I ever had on a pup and I took it to big resort on the Arkansas line that the dock was at the bottom of a hill i thought i was gonna die lol

 

Prescott yard had some raggedy-arse equipment for a long while. Now I have the newest tractor, and kinda wish I didn't. The dang thing actually reads speed limit signs, and if you're > 5 over it beeps at you and emails management.

Are you in my neck of the woods? We should meet up sometime...

 

I think 23K is the heaviest I’ve ever had to, but it was because my last Friday stop is a GFS Market Place Store. (GFS has there own chain of grocery stores in certain states.) and I it was a Holliday weekend and I had an entire skid of meat for them.

 

Our newest trucks have that, too. It's gonna be upsetting for some of our hot shoe types when they get forced into those trucks.

 

That's how I first heard of them, was doing a project and they were one of the local options I'd never heard of so I had a look and bought some stuff. Nice store, a little more commercial-appearing than a supermarket, sort of like an Aldi for a restaurant owner.

 

I'm hovering around, been looking for a gig either on that side or the Verde side or up in Flag. Tried Hanson, no reply, they're pretty special. XPO and FxF never advertise slots there. I see a FxF wagon going across the vast flat plain to Jerome I'll give a wave.

 

Yes sir more or less. They have started to get more consumer packaged stuff in as of lately. They have a store in Michigan now that is more, of a grocery store, it has hot foods and everything.

 

I was impressed by the quality of the stuff they had. If I had been at home with a real kitchen instead of a hotel efficiency with two burners I'd have bought more.

You work for a good outfit, Mike, even if they have their foibles.
