Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

Sounds like most of ya all don't care for the multi-stop loads and would rather have the single stops.

 

Odd thing is, it was working yesterday, won't work today. I checked the breaker and the body controller fuse(s)...all good....kinda odd. I figured it was the 9 degree temps last night, but even this afternoon it wouldn't work.

 

well....it depends on the customers. Some of our multi-stop loads are the box store customers with set appointments...and sometimes those appointments are mis-timed so you either can't legally make it, or you waste more time than needed. I don't mind mon-n-pop multi-stop loads because the drivers set the delivery times on those.

 

i just came off one ,complete round trip it worked out to be a little over 1700 miles total , 4 drops spread over 4 days.

 

i dont mind about 3, after that it starts to be non productive. and i dont mind when theyre spread out over a few states tho. i drove for a food dist way back delivering about 20 stops in philly an nyc, that cured me of multi stops lol i like one an done but then again im lazy

 

for me alot of the mom an pops have been sherwin william stores, theyre not so bad, unload u whatever day u get there mon-fri

 

Most of the stores are o.k....some are a ##### to get in to...as in blindside off the street, but the people there have always been accommodating and friendly. The d/c's though are usually appointment only. But still accommodating. My stop this morning was S.W. and Atlanta traffic was almost non-existent, so I ended up getting there waaaay early. They took me as soon as the shift changed...I was out of there around my original appointment time.

 

My Dynasys lasted about 15 minutes after the guy "fixed it" the last time. So I just idle the #### out of this fuel guzzler to stay warm at night. Buy a piece of #### to save money and it will cost you

Drove about 150 miles tonight through pea soup fog and open cattle range area for a maximum of fun time. Taking the long southern route back through Nevada, AZ and NM to Dallas, got to love that 10%.

I usually (prob. 90% of so) take the one stoppers. If the multi's have a Target or 2 involved and it was the only load left it might be my first time to pass on a load and wait until the next day. I can't remember the last Target load I did but it has been quite a while.

 

its funny when u look in the truck trader how cheap these international with maxxforce are with 300k on them lol

 

Wow, so they only let you run 10 percent over on extra miles?? So that means on a 1,000 mile trip they are giving you 100 miles to spare?? Maybe my math is off but that seems a bit tight, counting fuel stops, detours or weather that 100 miles could add up pretty quick. Do they charge you for any extra over the 10 percent or do you just get to have a come to Jesus meeting with the higher powers??
