What if it Snows?

I’m waaaay to lowly of a peon to directly communicate with the OM.

The pure stuff from Mexico.....

 

How is the Landstar experience treating you.
I'd imagine is quite different from the WE experience.
Do tell.
Is @Dave_in_AZ a dick for a boss?
Does he demand cat treats under the table?
Inquiring minds.......

 

Dave isnt the boss, he is just a floor supervisor.

 

Car tries to push a semi out of the way. Fails of course.

 

Honestly it’s awesome. Dave keeps me rolling. He’s a fountain of information when I have a question or he has a concern.

No cat treats have been given or asked for.

As far as the difference between western and running for Dave at Landstar. They’re diametrically opposed.

One I get paid well and I’m treated more like a driver. Remember I’m still newish so I’ve got a ton to learn. I drive great equipment and everyone is so nice. Even shippers & receivers. I delivered to place and I started filling out the sign in sheet and the receiving manager saw landstar and she says “oh no, you’re a VIP. Back into door 3 whenever you’re ready.” I literally stood there blinking.

Nobody gets their camera out when I park. LOL.

I really thought I knew a bunch about trucking. I was very smart for WE. I basically feel like a newb. Dave will say (I’m paraphrasing) “Remember 2 weeks ago when I told you........” and I’m like ####. He’s was right.

At WE you’re a nuisance to other drivers and probably about to wad something up. And the pay while good when I was training is freaking exhausting.

So to sum up. Landstar is like being in the trucking industry and WE is being used as a mileage monkey until you either breakdown or learn enough and escape.

 

Amazing what a little respect does for your day to days.

 

Well Otter, I wish you the very best.
It will take some time to understand that you're 'it' and there's no hand holding, but you'll get it.
Best of luck and happy trails.

 

Thanks @Opus I’ve got a (3) year plan. I’ll do me best.

 

Engines in particular in big heavy vehicles. Until I came across a group of men manually starting a vehicle by pushing, the weight is approximately 24 ton give or take a little bit.

The Link starts the URL at that time a few moments before the push.

The 4:33 mark is what it needs, the link to that spot failed here.
