Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Some miscommunication happened at my pu but resolved without issue.

Showed up for a preload only to be told load was already picked up the previous day. Quick talk with clerk and found said trailer still on their yard.

Turns out a driver signed for it but decided not to take it for whatever reason without letting them know.

If driver picked up the load then that would of been a good 40 hours till deliver on just a 350 mile run.

Currently just 20 miles from this cosco and hoping it will go fast. Appt not till 8am but reviews all say its a first come first served place and they start processing reefer loads at 430am.

Next load another short run. Heading to a farm for a live tomorrow, then headed back to Ohio for 540 miles.

Getting close to my vacation trip so will soon be free from this for a week.

 

There was a lady at slc during driver appreciation day (prez's present) that was claimed to be a "customer" but she was supposedly taking pics of and checking out the drivers lounge, showers, laundry etc... why would a shippers rep care about that? If someone she this lady at another terminal I will speculate it'd an acquisitions rep assessing the value of the terminals... assuming here but somethings off...


Seems there's now a major incentive to cut down on DH miles rather than focus on getting drivers their miles! Getting more and more dysfunctional by the day... praise SSB as he may lead the way for others

 

I haven't noticed any stop in miles, got a few longer runs as well this month. One from CA to NJ. I've stayed out a few extra days to be home for a wedding, but got almost 12k miles since leaving the house on the 6th, and I helped at N Platte for around 10 days. It's been a good month.

 

You seem to be an oddity. Be thankful for that.

 

I'm stuck in the NE at the moment. Last few runs have been same day runs running out to IN/OH with a load heading right back to NJ.

Decent daily miles averaging 400/day but I've seen enough of the NE...I want the west again lol.

 

Wait til November. You'll live in SEATAC and Portland til April

 

Last winter I didn't see green until my hometime days then it was back North of i70 till next hometime...

I dread the white powder....

 

8370mi/mo avg for the last two months is what is making decision to leave this place very shortly…only 3 mons this calendar yr been over 10k…not tolerating it anymore.

 

LOL. I should have said “your situation” .

And I fully agree with you.
