    Well we get a lot of Hershey's loads an coke loads. But what im sayin is we normally don't live load hershey loads. Only time I've ever live loaded at a hershey facility was in Memphis Tn. Now that we run team i don't run as many hershey or coke loads as i did when i ran solo. When i was solo i ran a lot of coke to denver especially in the winter cuz when i hired on i told them that i used to run a grocery dedicated to all points Colorado and Cheyenne Wy. They at that point said I'd fit right in here cuz they had a lotta denver an Colorado runs.

    Afternoon fellas. I've seen those messages repeatedly too. I'm surprised they haven't targeted the culprits like Professor said. It's amazing that some of us are to brain dead to just touch the screen to send a macro. Anyway, I'm in Alton, IL loading up now. I'm going to Aurora, CO

    I've got skidded coils, about 41,000 lbs. This definitely a broker load. It's an XPO load. You're definitely right about guys hooking up to trailers and not checking out equipment. It's been a few times where I've had to get tires replaced mainly. Last week I got a trailer out of Silgan there in Union. One bad tire on it. I couldn't believe they could not get it replaced before dropping it. At Hershey I got one with 1 flat, and 2 with no tread. Makes me wonder sometimes

    Heck we pulled an empty outta the yard just last week. You could tell they just put 8 brand new tires on it an that it hadn't been anywhere cuz the stickers were still on the treads. Yet the self airing system was off one tire was not beaded up and almost completely off the rim on one side and one tire flat. How the heck does that even happen with brand new tires. We pick up trailers with bad tires,blown inner wheel seals,leaking outer hubcap seals, and missing mudflaps all the time. An also trailers that need swept or washed out that shoulda been taken care of by the previous driver.

    Wouldn't be so bad if they paid breakdown pay for the time ya spend having to get stuff fixed. An im talking from the time ya pull into a shop to the time you're done at that shop. Not havin to be an overnight breakdown issue in order to get paid.

    Oh man, thise dirty trailers are killer. I've picked up some Hershey and Bailey and thought to myself that it's no way they got washed out before they were dropped. Then the dry vans have so much trash in them that sometimes I have to run the broom through it twice. I can't see how inflating air system was off when they changed all the tires. That's a mental error if I heard one.
