    A full week is not acceptable. But hey I'm still waiting on money they failed to pay back in August. It was only 60ish bucks and after the 4th time of calling and having the buck passed to another department i just gave up.

    Supposedly they will reimburse for tolls that are on your permitted route. But truck pay says the od permit girl has to put it in the computer in such a way and permit girl says no i did that truck pay has to to do abc. Then truck pay says billing has to do xyz. I just came to the conclusion the 60ish bucks wasnt worth it and when considering od loads to assume they will not reimburse the tolls like they claim.

    Officially thru may reimburse on od loafs but in practicality because there is zero organization between departments i won't see it and I'm not willing to keep calling day aftet deary aftet day riding their ###. It just is one more check mark in the "why the hell am i still leased here" column.

    Pete, didn't you say that your original load was already gone and you pulled a load to a different destination without getting a different LMA number for that ups load? They have a number for the ups war room and it's staffed constantly.

    You should have gotten an email on how to handle things like this.

    Pulling a ups load without getting the correct LMA is like pulling a govt load without sending in all pages of the bol.

    It's gonna delay getting paid, plus you are dealing with UPS.

    It was a new ups facility but you the driver have to get correct LMA and call the warroom if any doubt

    They used my same route code. The lady at ups said she changed it in the computer. Then I called the war room n told them. But the whole bol thing with the war room didn't come up... It's funny cuz when I returned the next day they still couldn't print lma off... I hope by the 26th they get in order... if they cancel my load then 500 and I'll go back to bed lol...

    Yep its definately different. Just the question comes down to will it be better at another carrier or just exchanging one set of suckage for another.

    Yeah, they seem pretty durable, I bought the 2 piece, 8ft, 18oz from mytee. I did spring for 5 rows of d-rings on mine though. My only complaint (aside from the weight) is the stitch has come undone a little in a spot or two, but I'm rough on equipment. Marines break ####, what can I say.
