Just one last thing to add to this. The economy fell off, WS needed to eliminate your position as a shortline driver, BUT OFFERED you a position as an OTR driver, you chose that as opposed to being unemployed, and now your pissed?

Mr. million man driver Aka triple h after that rant ur pathetic. 2/3 thousand miles till 1st drop is not ltl sir in an flatbed newbs it's called otr flatbed.
it just have multiple stops;
I'm not on here to show who has the biggest but you will come at me correctly. Case in point S2B stole some of my thunder when he mentioned the other parts of shortline; Yes I was on salary doing shortline sir but I also ran maine and new hampshire in an 1 axle day cab in the winter sometimes to achieve that ask S2B we run by any means.
second or you going to answer them their for the newbs like i asked "Macon Jr" that should get him back quick.
tarp in rain, sleet,snow okay ruined clothes fine how many truck stops u pass on your way to the next stop 2/3 thousand tiill your next stop should be plenty wash something u sound like u got it no symphathy here.
try delivering rain sleet snow and heat and the only truck stops u see is going and coming on a 4/5 day trip trust me u won't see 1 in between.
I have to do real ltl work so I'll get back. -
yeah, they only offered me the ort so that i could not collect unemployment, it would have cost the company a lot of money to collect.
the same with all the other short liners, and even an office worker, cause he/she has a cdl A, so they told him to get into a truck or go home, there for by having another job availavle for us/them we cant apply for unemployment. i also have my own issues with the way things were done in sayreville as far as sending me otr,
no phone call or anything to let me no id be going otr, showd up monday to hear " send your empty and available, your OTR effective now! "
but anyway, i do miss it, the challenge and thrills of going down the tiny roads of bosten and ri and so on.... -
Dear mr. Wing ding I asked u politely to not comment but here u are. I'm not mad at otr hell I did it before it's just the way rhey handled it. u would be too.
now back to this million man driver 3 of 5 loads ltl stop lying please; if that was the case 17k is not what u do my friend.
2/3 thousand tiill your 1st drop all hwy speeds in case u did not know ltl goes like this.
10 stops for the day doing small roads at speeds of 40,35 25 then school zone 35,40,55 now were moving wait pops doing 32 mph in an 55 no passing zone Tick Tock. Back up to speed now 40,30,25, ohoh stop sign. if u did manage to pickup 17k like this million man driver then goog but i doubt it.
No what u do is get to the drop un tarp and wait for the calvary to unload u not I sir; first I have to badly wish they have a dock and not a garage.
if they don't please switch that tarp with me Please 100â out trailer feels like 2 and I'm looking at this 300 lb roll on my truck.
I'll stop and ask you would get up on that flatbed and push that airplane thing off with help or ask for detention pay I never had that luxury. but I bet u do. you don't touch frieght u tarp I don't know what thats like but I can assure u its nothing like reloading a trailer that feels like 200 in there just to get the job done.
I said bring it but don't lie on it. -
hey nawlins, he does run pretty high in the miles sheet, every time i ask him where he is, he is always on the other side of the country, and moves around a lot, last time i seen him, we had a chance to meet up for a quick lunch, and before i knew it he was gone, didnt even say by, he said he had miles to run.
we can just wait till the sheet comes out at the end of the month and see what his miles are really like, and im willin go bet that what he is saying is darn close to being true.
he is young and prob in the best shape out of 99% of our drivers, vans included. just take a look at everyone. -

S2B Thank you,
Nawlins, I never said what you did wasnt difficult.
I even stated I have done it. I understand how the job can be.
I was merely stating, if you dont like it, Quit.
OR
Wait for it...
Stop crying.
Are you still running shortline from Jersey?
I assumed that nobody was really running shortline exclusive.
Your out here just like me.
Instead of admitting you just dont like what you do, you take personal attacks on me.
If you are delivering to more than one customer, its LTL. Most of my loads are LTL, Multiple pick ups multiple stops.
Im running a TL run right now.
Its a 6000 pound bar of steel going to a well drilling outfit in Provo Utah.
Originating from Houston, Texas.
I know you probably dont like me and feel that is justifiable cause to call me a liar, but those numbers I stated re from My Bosses mouth. He also happens to be your boss too.
How bout you call in and tell him hes a liar.
Id pay good money to hear his response.
Im sorry you dont like your job. I love mine.
I get paid by the mile, they give me lots of miles and run every mile like its my first and might be my last.
As for being clean, The only person at this company cleaner than me is S2B and thats cuz hes a PIMP.
Have you seen him walk? True Playa.
Oh I almost forgot, Just a sec, Let me check the qualcomm...
7.3 mpg right now, Last weeks mpg was 7.1 and I only need to get 6.9mpg to max out the bonus. Plus I meet the saftey requirements.
More money in my pocket.
Stop being butt sore and hating me for doing what I love.
Im sorry I was a butthole to you to start, but i feel if you dont like what you do, find what you love and do that.
In the end you will be happpier.
But if you want to continue to compare your apples to my oranges, we can. Im resetting now while they work on my truck.
Late Crack -

mr .million mile driver I believe when I started this it wasn't a problem with what I do but what the company pulled. Then u sir and wing ding jump in and defended them like a couple of school girls and accused me of being a whiner. My probleem with u two are don't defend what u have no idea whats goinzs on.
A note in my box from ur punk boss that says or else is cowardly; I have a wife and the pregnancy thing aint working for her " she is diabetic" we are in the process of adopting.
Imagine telling your wife that aint happening cause some punk says or else. Maybe I'm reading into it so much; its a women thing.
my next thing is I started out otr I have no problem with it but my life unlike urs don't evolve around Watkins it goes through them.
So yes I won't do 3 weeks of west coast regional, I refuse to stay out months at a time I still have hope with my wife " god is good" and my piont was this is all this company has to offer otr drivers.
do u disagree with that.
I don't care about what u make or how u run I have bigger fish to fry. My word was just because I was salary u "were not going to minimize what I do".
last with a cdl anywhere I choose to go they have to pay me for what I know regardless. not the miles i can put on a tire the big picture is that.
I'm not looking for sympathy or empathy but im looking for answers on how u this company helps the driver make money without staying out for 4 months. I mentioned above wash ur clothes nothing about personal hygeine so please get ur head out of s2b #$$ -
funny van has no pickups in tx at all. all 48 is a little misleading
