Where is everyone?

When's the next load pickup? I was in a similar situation last weekend and had to sit four days till my load was ready. At least the pay made up for the wait!!

 

i was trying to get a load for yesterday but it never was offered to anyone, it just satvon the board for four days thrn disappeared. dont know what happened. it as a 5k lb 10'6" Wide to sc. woulda been nice. so i grabbed a load of ac units to dallas. wss friday but i ws told they wanted to load them thursday. then yesterday they decided they wouldnt have them built in time so i am back to friday morning. probably just go home for thanksgiving after that but i would like to get one more in first

 

the mercer guys keep telling me three days to get out of ca isnt bad right now but i hate sitting, especially if i dont have money to blow

 

Sitting in Case Grande, AZ. Something don't pop up by noon tomorrow I am going to put it in the wind and head for home.

 

Hubby was just past there today, and bummed because he couldn't stop for chow there. Guess they have pretty decent food.

 

Will call is the same as customer pickup. DRP hauls for lots of dealers in MI, IN, OH & KY. They also haul a lot of used equipment. If I am not mistaken, the owner/family may also own an auction site or used equipment dealership. The only issue I have with them is they are delivering the same tractors that I would like to be delivering.

 

The way Deere works, the dealer (or the trucker they hire) gets 10 days to pick up the unit. If they don't pick it up in 10 days, it gets "rolled" from will call (them) to commercial carrier (me). Spot bidding is only used for moves outside of normal contract rates or shipments over 48k lbs.

We actually had one of their contractors come to work for us. I believe he was from Lafontaine, IN. He was an interesting character, but he ended up marrying a doctor and selling his truck. He has some interesting things to say about them.

 

sitting oklahoma finishing up a reset been a busy boy was and polished all day. i think i worked harder today then i have since i started skatboarding. sitting in oklahoma city peelot heading for denver again with a load of wire mesh

 

sorry, i thought you said you polished. lol


seriously though that tank is way beyond hand polishing. it needs to be sanded down and cut with a buffer. save your muscles

good job with what you have to work with but that truck doesnt look like its ever been polished. you sure.those tanks arent machine finished?
