Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Sounds like the rescue i had to do when I was otr for crete. Was told guy would be waiting for me at a drop yard. Even told me he would be there when I got in. Get over there only to find the guy not there and that he decided to sleep at a truck stop and will be here in the morning...

Dude was over 200 miles away when I was originally told and shut down after talking to dispatch.

After explaining to night ops that now his AND my load will be late cause I have a 6am app and the whole reason for the swap was he had a high priority load that he was going to be late on, they put me back on my current run. If I had said nothing then they would of looked like fools.

Plus they did not pay me the 80 so miles it took to get to the drop yard and then get back to my route.

 

That is foodservice, NOT LTL. They are worlds apart, and having done both, I can confidently say LTL is the way to go.

 

I knew when I came back that I didn’t have the patience required, but it made way more economic sense to come back here. I signed on for “dedicated” (you can probably guess which one but please don’t). There where trade offs but it has worked out a lot better. I don’t have an asset manager and rarely deal with Lincoln but when I do it usually doesn’t go well.

 

My new company uses new Omnitracs. I hope it is better than the Person Net I have been dealing with the past 5 years or so.

 

A good thing to have when dealing with grocery warehouses.

 

I used to go to a WM return center on Indy's east side. Same thing, drop the trailer, have the yard dog put the trailer in. It was tight, but not THAT tight.....

 

I’m in Jonesboro as I text, delivering at True Value. Home next and clean out this truck.

 

That was quick!! What happened?
