The Werner empty I picked up to some local work today while I was waiting for my normal reload at General mills in Roanoke, TX ended up being a bigger POS than I initially thought. When I tried to pick up at Georgia Pacific in Garland, their forklift punched a hole in the floor boards. It was a 1999 so its been well used. GP refused to load it and my dispatcher said to just take it to Werner since nobody will want to touch it with a hole in the floor.
The Werner people seemed really nice. It wasn't what I expected though I can't explain exactly what I was expecting to begin with. I explained the situation to the shop manager who was cool about it and said to drop it and they would lock it up. As I was dropping it, a Werner driver walked up and asked if it was empty. I told him it was but it had a bad floor and they. were going to put it OOS. He seemed dissapointed, I guess Werner is having a trailer shortage.
But not a new tractor one. They have a ton of brand new Petes on the yard with plastic on the seats, waiting to be stickered. They had them parked everywhere.
Paid a visit to Werner in Dallas.
