Central Refrigerated Truck Stop II

I picked up a load in KFCI. It took several hours to drop my mt and pick up my loaded trailer since it was crowded and their lot was a nightmare. This made my delivery at Walmart in Alabama late but within the hour window. When I explained it to the receiver she said her husband was a driver and had told her about that Kraft yard and understood. That Kraft is so bad that they're infamous.

 

Since the swift takeover, the inspection bay at wvc has been cleaned up real nice. Clean floors and fresh paint. On the downside, the wait time to get in and out has gotten a lot longer. I bob tailed in tonight and saw 2 swift bob tails waiting in line to get in. Some familiar faces have been missing lately. I suspect that the changes in there have made some guys quit rather than change

 

Well he was a chubby Mexican guy, and I wouldn't want him to take that the wrong way. My dm asked for my scale locations so he should be at least getting the miles paid. Really the alternative is I go ballistic, because my scale miles were 30% of the original load miles. Imcompetence and arrogance really should never mix.

 

Me and my home boy was thinking of going owner op. To team that way and make more money, he was thinking to find someone with a good truck not many miles trying to get out of a lease with, I'll say maybe 8 months left on the lease. Do anyone know if this would be a great idea especially with the swift change. All negative and positive input is welcome to comment on my post.

 

Now would be a terrible time to commit to a lease. There are too many unknowns, and any wise entrepreneur avoids unknown risk. Wait until the merger settles down and see where the chips fall.

 

Hey team Klingon! When do they turn the 49er into a peelot? Or have I just not been paying attention?!

 

*when did... Jorge is rubbing off on my spell check, jk. So I'm not the only one having a good time I see!! Not gettin into my fiasco about 3 days sitting for 8 hour detention which is still waiting for approval. Gotta love being a "professional trainer" making $300 in a week to risk your life. I guess I'm learning that sacrifice thing I was counseled on. Besides never getting human contact anymore, no one acknowledging problems if they can't fix them, and the fact the weather cost me a huge chunk of fuel (one of the last drivers across Wyoming two nights ago, 65+mph wind!). I'm a happy camper. I feel like I'm 17 again with this stress acne popping up. Any luck it'll be gone by my 35th birthday... still, I move that freight lemme tell ya!! Glad very one seems to have made it thru turkey day relatively unharmed. I refuse to stay in a bad mood.

 

Side note: this is nowhere near normal. I've never been out in that situation before, and I don't think this will be an ongoing thing. I'm still irate but trucking isn't always a perfect world. Adapted and moving along. Just had my biggest week ever so I'll be over this in about 7 days...

 

It's been a few years... Not sure exactly... Are you in town? We are on home time and live <10 miles away
