    Glad I left. I can't slack off enough to fit in over there. I left SPD's yard at 11 am Saturday (Pacific time). I am in Tallulah, LA now, 4 hours from delivering in Mobile, then 825 miles from my final that is east of Roanoke Rapids, NC that I could deliver Thursday if I wanted to show off.

    I've been getting bs runs that I am forced to reject 1 day runs that take 2 days bs... been seeing miles drop and also many loads that have been sitting upto 2 days behind, not sure what's going on unless ams are allowing their drivers get away with driving the meat of the run and tcall it when it comes time to do the live aspect of it cause the drivers run out of hours...planners dispatch don't know this before hand?

    Nothing but pain in LA. 1st stop was a tight back in downtown LA and 2nd stop was not only tight but located right next to the LA international Airport. Nothing but bumper to bumper traffic.

    Multiple times I thought my DOT bumper was going to grab a car for a joy ride due to everyone parking on the shoulder making 2 lane roads really tight.

    Due to the whole JBS issue of taking 1 to 2 days past appointment to be ready, this will most likely be a 1100 mile week. Unless dispatch gives me a short run to pu tomorrow delivering Friday but as I'm told they are still 'booking' loads so nothing available at the moment.

    Word going around is that some customers are dropping them because of the fiasco going…I’ve had Schreiber foods load with a msg stating they’re getting ready to drop Shaffer because of service issues.

    So I called Wilmer shop,and gave them a heads up to order a part to be there when they work on my truck.
    Instead they are going to wait until I’m in the shop,then order it.
    Unbelievable!!

    Have you taken the 'thinking for yourself' certification class? Until you're qualified to think for yourself, then they don't think you have a clue about which way is straight up, so they have to verify the part is bad before ordering the wrong part, then ordering the part you told them about.
