Climate Express

Yeah, I would've done that if I hadn't gotten griped at for taking a 13hr break and told I needed to get delivered asap. It was quicker to just pony up the cash and keep rolling. Didn't wanna risk getting hollered at again, for fear of what my mouth might say. I don't need to get fired lol

You must've gotten Justin and Rich as your dispatchers. Ask if they'll send you to the party side with Travis and Robert the one appt. I overslept, which wasn't a small mistake by any means, the conversation went 'I overslept' and he said 'that's not good', and that was the end of it lol.

Your fuel adventure might not have been as bad as you thought. It really just depends on what COMDATA was offering for fuel discounts on that day. 30 cents higher might have had a 30c/gal discount while Wood River only had 10c, but idk. Just this week, my fuel stops were way off on calculations and I just sent a message saying I was fueling in Checotah.

Surprised they gave you a hard time about a 13 hour break. That's one reason I don't like those 'deliver per appt' and 'deliver ASAP' lines they add to the messages. Sometimes they just put deliver ASAP just meaning it's drop and hook and to help driver out and sometimes they really mean it NEEDS to be delivered ASAP.

There are some slow weeks here, but they will certainly run you without any remorse if they need you to lol. I'm a little jealous of that Ogden run you got though.

 

If he has Justin and Rich then he'll get his tail run off. I always did alright with Robert an Travis but every driver I ever talked to that had Justin an Rich were always just absolutely killing it on miles.

 

My miles have picked up a bit with Robert and Travis the last month. I'm around 3000/wk average this month. I think they realized I actually enjoy overnighters and don't care what time of day I run. Or maybe it's just luck. Been doing a lot of 5pm-5am 'shifts'. Probably 7 or 8 in the last 30 days, but I enjoy them.

I've noticed Travis and Robert aren't the best working with recaps, but that might just be a Climate thing. Weeks with recaps seem to be low 2000's, but weeks with a 34 are easily 3000 and sometimes more.

 

I've got Travis and Robert. They run me decently without much issue. I'm good with the miles they've been getting me, and the fact they've left me alone to do my job. That Jarred fella acted like an ### to me and tried to make it sound like they were doing me some huge favor with this ogden load by saying "we gave you the best load in the fleet" and it sounded like he really wanted to add "and this is how you repay us?"....oh well, there's always gonna be someone there to screw up a good thing lol.

 

I like the 1000 plus miles runs. As long as they don't cause me to sit. Drop an hook an rock an roll is my motto.

 

Jarred is one of the fellas in the office that thinks he's a member of the upper crust of society. He is a real D**********( fill in your own expletives ). In reality he is just a planner and another cog in the wheel that works with all the other moving parts of the company. Seriously if ya ever have an opportunity to meet him personally, DON'T BOTHER!!! He is very stuck up an rude. He won't talk to you. He acts like you are beneath his station in life.
