Superior Carriers & Henniff

Running mainly between Charleston SC, Great Lakes area, down to Mobile and Houston.

 

Pre-emission trucks are there if they are signed on before what?

 

yeah, loading sucked, but the 2 tire blowout was nuts! Took 5 hours to change out 2 tires. Guy shows up with HALF of the equipment he needed to use, and wrong tire size, his hydraulic jack blew out when lifting trailer(hydraulic fluid all over the place) It was just beyond me, all I could do was laugh! This was Love's in Cirlcleville, OH. Tires popped on 35 S just past 35/23 split in Chilicothe, OH.

 

I got one better. Had a road aervice call because of a blown coolant line. Service truck had too run back to shop to get pliers. He had no pliers on truck. I asked him how a $60k service truck is suppose to service trucks with out the basic tools? I got a blank stare from him. This was from T.A. Lake Station,IN

 

Stepan seems to have its production back in order so hopefully those of us out of Markham will see more steady work. I've had 4 loads cancel on me in the past three weeks and have been lucky to get more than one run a week. This January has been the worst month financially in the three years I've worked here. Doing my best to weather the storm, but I'd be lying if i said i didn't have my concerns.

 

here's an interesting story, regarding Log Ops calling shots. Delivered today in Trainer, PA. About 10 minutes before I got done, called Pedricktown for tank wash, Kelly said her board had been 'hi jacked from Log Ops' and she didn't know what to do with the loads she had drivers planned on. Then said, Log Ops had to plan all the incoming drivers onto other terminals. Told her, let them know I needed to be out of there in about 20 minutes and I had 4 hours left on my 14(yeah Philly traffic sucked and 2 trucks ahead of me to get offloaded). Next thing I know, Log Ops calls me and says to head to Springfield, MA. Ok, call them to let them know I won't make it until tomorrow, next run is ok, I guess, 750 miles...alot better than what I've been getting here the past 2 weeks. But I found that to be interesting. Another driver, out of High Point, was doing a dedicated run for Cincinnati the other day, once he got empty, Log Ops called him and told him to go to Markham instead of going back(on a dedicated run) to Cincinnati. Said Markham really needs drivers. I think he picked up today in Janesville....I'm sure we'll ring one or the other tomorrow or thursday. This is starting to make me think who the hell I need to call, terminal or Log Ops. smh In case anyone didn't know, I didn't, I found out if your truck is off, it won't let you go to On Duty Yard Move unless you have it running. Well the MCP 200 Q/C models.

 

yeah, same thing for me too, but I'm out of High Point.

 

What dont you understand!!!!! If they where leased on before the buyout. They are still leased on now. Nothing changes. Clear as mud!

 

If they were leased on? And before Heniff got bought out? Boy you sure got the clear as mud part right as I'm more confused now than I was when I lost my virginity..
I'll reask my question so we can start over hopefully without hostility:
Is there any pre-emission O/O trucks signed on at Heniff?

 

Is it possible for an owner operator with a pre-emissions truck to sign on with Heniff?
