Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Par for the course…it’s what happens when standards are lowered across the board even the office

 

No loads coming out of Florida, fight to get deadheaded to ga to get sent deeper down into the outbound problematic Florida area... throw suggestions out to get out get a lovely 3 days load 1 full days sitting in scorching sun all for a whopping 489 miles with lives loads on both ends and a noontime live unload on the 3rd day mind u I have a fresh 70... things are getting shakeY... all planners should live in a truck for 2 months straight to get a feel of what trucking is and possibly then they will try and keep our time and sacrifices in mind when trying to get us miles to get both driver and company paid... getting silly over here big league! Unproductive rejection all the way but this insult to drivers time is getting disrespectful

 

That’s just Florida. Easy to get in but then you’re begging for a sugar load to get out.

If truckers can’t be empathetic to other truckers problems imagine how improbable it would be for planners.

More importantly, when is the next cruise, and where are you headed?

I’m headed to Vegas at the end of January and was looking at U2 tickets at the Sphere. $350 in the middle section. Expensive but doable. Came back to book the ticket and some tracking cookie must have narc’ed on me that I’d been to the site before and was interested because now all those tickets were now $1,000+. Uhhhhh… no thanks.

 

@RussianBearTruckeR frieght really is slowing down..but with that said, why dont you try indian river transport…running tanks is whole different world than box trailers In a good way..

 

Only thing about running food grade tanker is there’s no hazmat required to thin out the herd of competing drivers

 

Most folks wouldn’t want to run tanks because many claim “its too much work”…smh..when in reality most of the time the customer does most of the work loading/unloading anyway..

 

I’ve hauled unbaffled chemical tanks..was no issue…the only product that would seriously surge that I hauled was ackronal a liquid latex… Know,..most tank companies drop dirty tanks at tank washes and pick up clean dry one.. very rarely does a driver sit and wait on tank to be cleaned.

 

Twt pays for all wo time, Indian River doesn't, buddy works at liquid tanker out of Nebraska he gets paid hourly including wo but he's having issues with pay and he just got his hazmat endorsement doing a run to albany NY now... got foodliner on my list
