How can you NOT have dunnage ??

 

I don't have have dunnage right now because the jobsite I delivered to last week stole it! 6 brand new good quality Doug Fir 4X4's. First time I ever used em.
Luckily that load paid a little better than 2.20 a mile so I can probably buy some new ones.

 

If this was me. I would’ve gone somewhere to find/purchase dunnage to get that load, but not for RATE. OP seem more interested on staying home. A more simple explanation to the broker would’ve been like. I’m broke down at the moment. I have family issues to deal with. Truck is in the shop, and some….. but not the excuse I don’t have any dunnage. No wonder the broker said what he said. I’m done.

 

I hate it when they do that. I have pissed so many jobsites and warehouses off by telling them to not steal my dunnage. " But but but, we dont have any here on site"... No worries, ill sell em to you for $30 a board somehow they dont want them anymore after that

 

Big fat NO. they can figure it out or put their stuff on the ground. Not my problem.

 

I’m an owner op for the last 42 years, and keep dunnage all around, home, the yard etc. I always have access to it. Something for you to learn from. It all comes down the years of experience you have under your belt. If I come across a situation where I just happen not to have any(rare), if I’m at a job site, I’m walking all over and see what I find. 9 times out of 10 you will.

 

Ah…. Went back and seen what I missed. Your right. My bad. Home time is more valuable, especially when the rate isn’t well paid. I’ll let the dunnage go this time.
