Landstar So Far

Racist? Having to wait in line is racist? Maybe they feel that anti-California vibe coming from you.

 

I'm sure your charming disposition had nothing to do with it.

 

Yup. I don't think it's racist though. Maybe more like a little selective attitude adjustment?

 

There are some contracts that stipulate that their trucks get to skip the line. Usually the tradeoff is they pull for a lower rate.

 

We see that same kind of thing in some of the lumber mills. The company trucks and the guys that haul steady and are hauling direct for the mill get loaded right away. Customer trucks for retailers that buy a lot of lumber usually don't have to hang around either.
Out of towners, especially mega carriers, don't get treated quite as well.
It's just the "good ol' local boy" syndrome in action.
Displaying attitude usually makes it worse.

 

And, once again, Reo

Careful, Reo will run you off.
I don't think he likes truckers that much.
Quite judgemental and a bit hateful for my tastes.
You'll know when you crossed the line.
Good knowin you @Dave_in_AZ

 

Not at all. I have no reason to run Dave off. He hasn't broken any rules that I know of. He had a bad day and he's exercising his right to complain about it. He whines a lot but he's basically harmless.
As far as not liking truck drivers, I like them just fine. We're talking real drivers and not the self involved cry babies that have raised personal entitlement to an art form.
