Watermelons

That would have been when I was with IWX and after 2 hours they would have pulled us out of there, cause the next problems is loading hot mellons, so you r refer is going to give you fits and if your going to Wally World there going to reject them cause there hot. Yea, been there done that, dry freight / No touch the only way to go.

 

Does uncle Danny pay waiting time......?

 

Anybody remember flatbeds with plywood sides loaded to the brim with big watermelons, no tarps, no tailgate, just another sheet of weather-beaten plywood, being pulled by a tractor on its last legs, with 3 youngsters in the cab, headed for NYC from the Deep South. Was a common sight not that long ago. If the market wouldn’t accept the load, they’d set up on a street till the watermelons were all sold one by one for cash. Having 2 helpers on board was for lumping and retail sales. Lol

 

I see flatbeds all the time with loads of onions

 

After a generous 5 hour wait time, just tell them you’re leaving, give them another 2 or 3 hours, while discussing with your boss, not some acne infected kid playing dispatcher. “Boss you paying my wait time, with a decent wage?” Same words to a broker, just leave unless that load got some miles and a rate above $4/mile! 42 hours is ridiculous, (unless you needed a reset), but no driver should accept that crap. Where I’m from 40 hours is a work week. That tub of lard you mentioned ain’t your boss, just a bad customer, who doesn’t deserve this level of service. Remember there are no victims in this situation, only volunteers!

 

Hmmmm. Like 45 minutes after appointment time in Nogales.

 

2 hours in Donalsonville GA
Not too bad.

 

At this point if I’m not being loaded in 3 hours I’m gone.


Tonu. Get it in the rate con.


Broker says fast load fast unload? Have him put it in writing. It’s all good when they promise the moon, now make them put their money where their mouth is. Any broker telling me max detention is x amount I walk away. They can keep me there for days for lousy $250
