Great Plains Transport - A company that cares about drivers... NO BS.

Me neither....

 

I checked it out on quality's website and apparently they do now. Also Kelle's transport out of salt lake.

 

Quality is adding carriers monthly always changing. Easier on companies

 

Can't say I'm exactly a happy camper at this point...dispatch (unless proved otherwise) gets a bit of blame, though mostly it was the crummy weather this morning combined with the state of indiana's sheet ineptitude at maintaining their roads...

Picked this load up near Seattle, hammered east do I could get into the yard to get work done on the truck that the shop didn't get around to doing when I stopped in there going west. Of course the dispatcher go a bit worried over the precious 8:30 appointment that was supposed to be set for today just north of Indy.

I took off out of the yard extra early so I could keep the lead time of about 5-6 hours I had in case the weather got bad through the trip. Minnesota was starting to get the teeth of a major snowstorm coming out of the west behind me, as was the first 150 miles or so of Wisconsin. After that it was clear sailing into northern Illinois where I ended up with just a measly hour left of my 70. Had a forecast of some wet sloppy semi frozen weather going through there into Indiana, though the Chicago toll roads were clean, as was Indiana up until I got past remington....then it went downhill. The weather was forecast to get above freezing, and despite my hopes that state would have treated the roads...nope. I got as far as just south of Remington to find I-65 shut down, where it took a whopping 7 hours to go that last 60 miles. Turns out the Lafayette stretch of i65 wasn't even treated until a major wreck happened. I went from still being 2 hours ahead of schedule to 5 hours behind....or so I thought. I got into the consignee to deliver, assuming I'd be sent away or a work-in...well I wound up being a work in because no one set an appointment...wth???? And on top of that my re-load out of Indy going through the house was cancelled by the broker...consider me a bit steamed...

 

Wondering if any one is still on this one thread....been really quiet for a while.
