    Get ready to unload a pallet of 50lb bags of potatoes each store. Had 2 stores on my route when I did them. They like their fresh potatoes.

    We have picked up over the last couple of weeks. Will be running like gangbusters for the foreseeable future.

    We're pretty slow at Reddaway here in Phoenix. Been getting minimum hours the last few weeks... Hoping it picks up soon.

    Yep I know all about their sacks of taters. Can't be any worse than popeyes tho with all their 50lb bags of flour and 50lb bricks of shortening. I won't be doing any of those runs, I have a dedicated nyc popeyes/wendy run 3x a week

    Same! Last night it seems it was a bit more busy... My company seems to always have freight for a few long box outside carriers though! It's aggravating sometimes not having a run but see outside carriers outside waiting for their loads.

    Freight, Is more than we can handle...


    OT is great, Excessive OT without the man power needed is absurd.


    Work to live, not live to work.

    My Line haul is down 6 drivers from a year ago and yet the bottom of the board is having trouble getting out. It is slow except on the weekends.

    We were busy as all get out for a while this month. Our terminal was routing 800 bills a day for a couple weeks.

    It's slowing down to a bit more reasonable level now, back to where we actually have time for pickups.:rolleyes:
