Millis OTR journal

Ick. Whoever designs docks like that needs to be stomped in their throats.

 

Yeah the pin is not broken which boggles my mind as to why it fell off. It’s a little bent but not unusable.

 

#### man, that isn't right. You can't get those times back

 

I'm afraid to ask, but which ####hole in Chicago?

 

Yeah all because they just had to get me 50 miles closer to home first.

 

You should think of switching to Jim P. The man is fantastic. From the first day he was officially my DM he has been absolutely fantastic.
On a side note Cartersville is my absolute least favorite terminal. My short time here I have so many negatives attached to it that I would just as soon go to a drop yard in Times Square than go to Cartersville.

 

The thing is that I don't think anything about this ####-up was Pat's fault. Weekend dispatch dropped the ball. Twice.

I'm still wondering about whether or not it's worth the time to have a conversation with Jay about it or to just let it go. It's not like this is happening ALL the time so I don't want to cry too much about it . Yet I'm not too happy about how flippant everybody seemed to be about it.

 

Aren’t the beer loads contract freight not spot?
I know ours are but we run to a lot of dead spots for reloads with our beer loads.

 

Well that would make since considering that pretty much all of our OTR freight out of Trenton is out of the brewery. Could be that we're still getting a decent contract rate out of those loads whereas everything else in the area has gone to ####.

Has anybody pulled anything out of Trenton lately that's not been from Miller? Last non-Miller load I hauled from anywhere near there was probably in December, and it was a broker load.
