S&S Transport

I m surprised they did not send you to St Michael to do a CA run, and just find you something from L.A to Phoenix to get you home. That would have gave you some decent miles before hometime

 

I kicked off the last stop of my 2200 mile run this morning. I deadheaded from Stanley, ND back to the yard. As soon as I got in the yard, my phone rings " Hey are you in the yard?" Yes, just got here. " Oh you re moving in to truck so and so", So I walk over to the shop, the truck is not ready, and nowhere on the yard. So I walked in and looked at the guy who called me and told him the truck isn t ready. So he called the shop as if I was lying.

So all I m hearing "Umm, it should be ready tomorrow", and I told them I ve been hearing that for 2 weeks now. "Umm, we ll pay you breakdown pay" I was like, I ll just take another load until the truck is 100% ready.

So I got a load to Iowa and back, hopefully the 3rd time is a charm.

I m trying to have another 4,000 mile week, but with this " little boy who cried wolf" truck situation is getting pretty old.

If anyone is considering coming over to S&S, you may want to hold off until the trucks situation get back to normal. We have several being traded in, and a few new ones that s trying to get road ready, but waiting on certain parts to get them road ready. I would hate for you to get to Grand Forks and have to wait on a truck

 

Its basically a lack of communication of said person and the shop, apparently a few other drivers are experiencing the same thing

 

@LDYTRUCKER I have a question for you. When you started with S&S did you have to ride with a trainer? If so how long? My husband and I have 3 months in, 2 months just us as a team. Don't want to do more training if we come there. We are from AZ too. Haha

 

@LDYTRUCKER
Thank you kindly! We will be looking into a few companies and S&S sounds good so far!

 

Today went very smooth, I spent the night across the street from my pickup in Casselton. Very nice people. The shipping guy opened his office and then walked to my truck before I could get out. He told me to back into door 1, and come in with license and sign the paperwork. 25 minutes later, 43,000 lbs and 39 pallets, I was headed to Altoona, IA.

I stopped in Williams, IA, fueled, showered, and took a 30 minute break. I stopped at the Flying J in Altoona for a few, then went over to consignee to spend the night. I got here and checked in, waited about 10 minutes, got a door, and unloaded in 15 mins. Now waiting until the am for my next load.

Since I m in Iowa, more than likely I will pick up something very close by and either head back to MN, ND or MB
