Trans Am Still

Seems to be an across the board thing. I work for a different company but we do backhauls to many malwart DC's to get us in range of one of our DC's for a next load out. my previous company as well did many semi-dedicated runs. You could set your watch by 2hrs on the nose if it was live. Every location every time.

Now it's 3 1/2 to 5hrs. Seems to have started this since the first of this year. I dread getting them now. Not like I liked them any better at 2hrs lol but I much prefer the d/h loads.

 

When I worked at PAM all wal mart loads were d/h for us dry vans. Loved 'em. No waiting around, no having to get a comcheck to pay them to unload you two hours later...

 

They have always sucked. A guaranteed 3-5 hour wait. Haven't done one here with Cargo, but did have a 4 hour wait at a Target DC in Newton NC this week. Worst thing was I couldn't stay in my truck unless I unhooked and left the property and I Couldn't do that because had to take my two hour split break so I had to sit in their lounge for four hours. Stunk.

 

Check out Cargo Transporters out of Claremont, JDM. With.a year exp, 42 cpm. Home every week if you want. Avg 2200 miles but I did a 3300 Mon-Sun this past week. Love the company. Dry van too. No trailer washouts, lotsa drop and hooks (2/3 to 3/4) Check out our thread.

 

At the house for a 34-48 and then back out for a 9-10 day trip. Wanna get by the country club/shop and get satellite TV installed on the truck. Football is coming.

 

Saw that and was gonna post it but you beat me to it, Except I was gonna post the one from the weather channel . That one they also talk about one they caught in the everglades that could eat a deer or good size gator

 

Well been trying to Find a company to go with when I get Laid off but have to wait til it's been at least 8 months with a clean driving record since I left Prime since they screwed me over for quitting they slammed me with unsatisfactory Safety on my DAC

 

If push comes to shove, hire on for the winter, with one of those companies that push snow.

 

Ahhh, I remember the days when I could get 5 hrs of sleep, and jump up fresh as a daisy. These ain't them!!!! *sighs*
