a couple weeks in the life of a TMC driver

Yeah exactly, i never minded pulling lowes loads. Shippers and recievers are alot more friendly too it seems.

 

I run Lowes Dedicated(Daycab). The DC doesn't worry if you show up early to pick-up or deliver, unless you are, like, a day early. Stores aren't really too bad either.

If you make it to Lowes DC #1437 in St. Joseph, Mo. I'm #23113. Look me up. Might not have time to talk if I'm making a turn. Usually run 2 loads a day. 0700 and 1300 appts.

 

Ugh, i hated pulling outta there. Stupid ladders just chucked up on top of everything else, slap a tarp over it and call it good. I used to get so frustrated with the way they loaded us there.

>.<

 

Yep, that's a normal Lowe's load. I've bent several ladders. Store don't say much when they look at the load or they don't catch it.

 

Same deal in Lowes Westfield Mass DC....I used to bet there was a blind guy running the forklift. Shingles stacked 2 high or on top of vinyl fence posts...this is common practice.

 

Blah, I do NOT miss Lowes with their Jenga trailers.

 

Carter, you run up here to Vermont at all. i was talking to a Tmc driver last week saying they might hire me now since they are running up here more and more.. any comment on that I need a new job badly and I would do anything to work for TMC!! the black and chrome co!!!!!

 

The place out of Bolingbrook with all the mexicans actually loads that stuff really well. Takes them a while though and break time = soccer time.

 

Eh... You might end up dissapointed, alot has changed.

 

Hy carter , had to tell you my week so far..
