    I’ve made one in the 9 years here. The homeless drivers ate everything and what was left over, was taken in Tupperware by the others. I remember last month the day of the drivers cookout, I grabbed a hotdog off Loves roller grill. Just to break balls, I sent the receipt in for reimbursement. They denied it.

    When I was at Marten the mechanics had a Christmas Party. No drivers allowed.
    Also they did not pay the drivers to do a random drug screen. I wondered why the mechanics were not required to clock out for a random.

    Maybe I misunderstood. I thought he needed a trailer that was blocked by the Crete out in the middle. In that case I absolutely would have moved it rather than waiting. If it was just for a parking spot I would have figured something else out.

    Ah. The joys of rejected freight on a Saturday. Got 2 pallets of rejected apples. No place to dump or donate til Monday.. Lost 1400 miles to a 2 stopper to TX to this... Not happy but no place to tcall nearby so stuck with it...

    Hoping the company can come up with a resolution to this tomorrow

    I was helping marten/Walmart in tomah wi in 2017. It was Christmas. 1000 miles from my family. I didn't expect nothing. On Christmas Day I woke up. Went to take a shower at that small DC shower. When I came to see the mechanics Bay where eight tables. Eight tables of glorious mouth-watering amazing food that the drivers wives had made and brought to us. I'm not gonna lie. I had to walk away and tear up. These people didn't know me but anticipated me being there, a stranger. After that my morale was completely restored. It wasn't the company. It was the hearts of the drivers and there families.

    Just had rejected freight too. 2 pallets of ice cream sandwiches. Luckily was early enough Friday we got a resolution, and just had me take it to deland. Unfortunately I lost my load getting me the hell out of Florida and instead got one deadheading up to Atlanta area to pick up a load heading back to Florida. Less miles and an extra day. And probably will get garbage out since that's all Florida is good for. I can't emphasize enough how much I wanted to get away from Florida. In case it's not clear I can't wait until the ocean swallows that he'll state. I'd rather get stuck in jersey. I swear even trying to get out from Orlando, which is only like 200mi seems to take effing forever and that's if the inbred meth head tourist boomers manage to not get smeared all over the highway. Now I'm going to get down there and my transmission is going to explode.

    Well, got the pallets off. Company told me to tcall back at the N Platte WM term. Get there and it seems nobody told WM so the guards refused me entry.

    Called the terminal manager and they knew but forgot to clear it with WM. After they got it cleared, I get there and the guard ask for the bills. She goes in to the guardshack, comes back out and says no go on the drop. As this WM is the one who rejected the freight and their address is on the bills, they said we can't tcall. Could tcall if the load was delivering anyplace else but not here. Weird rule.

    Anyway. Called the terminal back and they call WM again and WM won't back off.

    Sat at the truckstop for another hour. Get another call saying to go back in, got it cleared, but when I come in to go around the terminal building. I go through the guards with no problem this time. I go in and they got a forklift and a pallet jack. They grab the pallets and put them in the truck wash...lol. No tcall but freight off. YAY! Assuming they're either gonna get them to a food bank or the shop and office personnel are gonna get some sawg...lol.

    So I'm empty but now there's no freight anyplace. Kinda not happy. Hoping they have something for me tomorrow that is equal to what I lost on this cluster.
