Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Been starting 2 hours before our regular time, now we're starting 15 hours early. And all the freight is on the dock instead of still boxed up on the yard. Give us a week, and we'll be right back to normal.

 

Beware of AB freight in Rockford IL if they dont like you and your in the 90 day window theyll let you go for no reason. Scammers and cheats make you do crap runs and expect 200% from you because they pay you ok NOT WORTH IT

 

AM dockworkers Why do they even exist? Lately everyday us city drivers have to load our own trailer. Or rework the whole thing Those 10am guaranteed deliveries are impossible when you leave the yard a little after 11 and your first stop is like 40 minutes away. The only thing guaranteed at FXF is damaged freight or some skids missing.

 

I prefer loading my own. The driver who knows the route knows all the ins and outs of who closes early, which stuff might have to come back, which addresses are wrong...I'd rather just load it myself.

 

Seniority rules man, has nothing to do with scammers or cheats doing crap runs and that 90 day window is to protect the company if they think you're not worth keeping, better to get rid of you BEFORE you're in the union.

 

If I was still on City I'd be right there with you. Just leave my stuff in the bay, give me my bills and I'll do the rest

 

I did my first linehaul run last night (Almost 500 miles).

I lost about an hour at scales and adjusting tandems. Hopefully, I won’t have heavy loads too often.
