I don't know what happened but PDI isn't bad anymore. Maybe I'm just lucky but I haven't seen it backed up to toyota in over a year.

 

Haven't been down there in three years.

 

Geez I just looked that up... He was very young

 

True that. His company seems pretty successful though. Their trucks look really good, for the most part.

 

Yea I see them at Chevron San Jose every night between loads.

 

What is up with these Vista guys. There the slowest drivers I've ever seen. I don't know how that company makes money.

 

I've been doing this a long time and it's sad to see how our industry has changed. Back in the 90's we used to help each other out and always respected each other. We were all well trained with most of the companies spending the money on training and equipment.
Now I see drivers in tankers with a week or two worth of training and maybe a year or two of CDL time. Maybe it is the SoCal area. I've only been working in this market for five years. Most of my time was in the Bay Area. Maybe the mentality is different up there.

 

How's everyone doing. @Cali kid any updates on your situation? @Miguel562 how's it going with United? LAT added long swiveling arms on lane 5 so semis can load with 2 arms, happy to see that.
