Joe & Tow's new trucking adventures/ex GTI thread

I had on a pair of headphones passed out to In A Gadda Di Vida
i dont know how many hours it played but i couldnt hear anything for days
I guess 4 quarts of Boones Farm was excessive

 

Boones.farm......i spent many a night with my head in a toilet because of that ####....lol

 

hanging around South Gate Ca
making sure none of Joe's trucks
steal my stuff

 

Great thread! Thanks to both Joe and Tow for the time today, I greatly appreciate it.

Both places seem like good places to work for someone like me that doesn't want/need my hand held. I've been trucking since 92 and know how to get from point A to point B, last thing I need is a babysitter. Give me the load info, I got it from there.

I was all set to go regional then came across this thread. Nice to know long haul is still an option for a solo driver. Now I've got to re-evaluate my options. It's been a long 8 years since I've been OTR, a lot has changed, but my love of running long is still the same. Decisions, decisions.

If I go to either SEC or Lessors you guys will definitely get the credit, thanks!

 

Growing slowly exasperated with wal-bloody-mart taking just as long as they freaking please. arrive 6.30 for 7.30 appointment....get to truck gate 6.45pm get to window (after checking that my door was currently occupied) at 7.00pm...finally get in door at around 8pm...still at door with green bleedin light at 9.43pm, still waiting for a red light, off loading no more than about 12 pallets which no doubt will take another 2 hours followed by an hour for some numpty to count the bloody stuff and probably head out of here close to midnight...or freaking bloody later. So far this poxy multi stopper has been a nightmare. 1130pm last night delivery (with something like a 2 hour unload), 10am this morning (3 hour) and now this piece of brown colored fecal matter place at 7.30pm (currently running at 3.5hrs) making for a grand total of 8.5 hrs OF DOING BLOODY NOTHING. When are trucking companies AND I MEAN PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEM going to stop taking up the rear and stand up to these time wasting idiots. ABSOLUTELY NEVER, THAT'S WHEN. BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE THE SWIFTS, CR ENGLANDS AND VARIOUS OTHER BOTTOM FEEDERS OF THIS BUSINESS WILLING TO BEND OVER AND SEND IT TO THE DRIVER WITHOUT EVEN THE BENEFIT OF A REACH AROUND TO DO ESPECIALLY WALMARTS BIDDING IT AINT GONNA CHANGE. IS IT ANY WONDER WE END UP DRIVING TIRED AND FEELING TO #### PRESSURED. OK, rant over....have a nice evening all!!!

:smt120:dink:

OK...done!!

 

I see some things never change, Walmart has always! sucked for outside carriers.

 

Thanks for the welcome.

Funny thing is Joe I pulled a refer the first 3 years of my career and swore never again. Me and grocery warehouses never got along, lol, kind of like Walmart! However after reading your threads both now and 2 years ago Ive got to consider Lessors.
