Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Friend of mine calls Volvo’s Road Commodes. Lol. I’d rather have a Freightshaker myself.

 

Just heard on xm radio a hiring event for Ups Parcel feeder sleeper team. Full time union employee not seasonal. They are really trying to push this. Still this is unheard of.

 

I'll drive what ever the company buys since they pay for the truck and fuel.

 

It's unprecedented. Exciting times.

 

Holy crap. Is that an assigned truck? If so, I'll never complain about my slipseat partner being a dirty old booger ever again.

Makes me VERY happy that I don't slip seat much anymore. Except on Mondays when I float. Other wise I have the same truck 3 days running each week.
And its always the SAME truck, week in, week out.

We do have a KW, and Pete. But they're both sleeper trucks.
All other tractors are Freightliners.
Some of our straight trucks are Sterlings.
We used to have a Western Star sleeper cab. But they sold it two years ago.

 

Fear not, we’ll still hear about the ‘shortage’ of drivers. Glad i leaped on when i did. Should be moving up the seniority food chain soon. Rough week sitting at the house. Lol
