Good Night From II

Laredo for the night, got one to P&G in Moreno Valley, CA. The QC can't locate the addreyeven using the customer code and it doesn't show up in my TND720. Time to do it the old way I guess.

 

IIRC that's a brand new facility. Word to the wise, slide your tandems well before you get to the guard shack, at the level area about 200' back. Be prepared for at least an hour for a simple drop and hook.

 

Must be P&Gs new design ... the one Vandalia OH is the same ... kinda like the dipsy doo speed bump thing ... but yeah, 90 minutes for drop loaded and pu preload

 

I was at the one in vandalia a few weeks ago it s nice but processing in and out was slooooow and six hours to load me.....screwed up my whole weekend .......

 

I once dropped a load there(didn't needd an empty) And yup it was like an hr wait. You see 2 different people then slide axles then follow lines on the floor. Then stop at a stop light inside the facility then proceed to out gate. Its easier to go in a walmart dc than to go there

 

Near Dallas, TX at a Pilot.

I have less than 1.5 hours left on my 70 and they keep sending me live loads that pick up at 1500 or later, and my 14 ends at 1700.
Plus, I don't have an mt.

My DM called just as I was about to refuse the last one and I explained it to him.
He said to turn it down for HOS and he would contact the planner to see if I could pick it up in the morning.
It is a decent load and has enough time to deliver on time if I can.

I don't mind getting up very early to find an mt, but with such limited time today it just won't happen.
Not even going to try to cut things that close around here.

(edit)
I just did a Mac 30 and got one load offer.
Pick up and deliver 46 miles away at the same place, at 1530.
I guess the 30 was meant just for me, and they want me to run some more today just for the heck of it.

Shortly after I get another pplan, again picking up at 1530.
Turned that down as well.
When will they get a CLUE? I'm not taking another load today!


And then, finally they send one that I can do.

 

See I don't mind that as long as I get detention. Getting detention is one of the things - among others - that concern me about that outfit you're with.

 

Yeah I got paid two hours only and it screwed up my weekend.....not destroyed but made me late and scrambling for everything.....

 

Coz at swift if u are late they just take the load off u and find another truck coz there are options always.....where im at now with broker freight...your ummmmm....I can't say the words here.....shhhhh

 

Oh, about 65% of my loads are run through the broker ... but here I work directly with the broker and they handle all the notification/communication with the customer to reset appointments ... all that and I still get my detention ... the brokers have some awesome power.

The problem with your outfit is the boy wonder in the middle, blue humping a football, cutting you out of 10%.
