Good Night From II

Is that because SoCal needs more from the east than they send out there?

That place seems to only want to send loads locally along the west coast.
But they will suck it in from all over.
That is why it is SO hard to get out from there.

 

My buddy runs there every two weeks from pa.

 

Its flat simple, truth is flatbed division can get 6-7 loads out of Socal perday. Guranteed.

We had a few doing the Jersey to long beach container rush which didn't help. But so cal on average the last few days has had 20 flatbedders in it, way over that 7 we can actually plan out.

Its only been this year ive ever had trouble getting out of socal as flatbed. Normally its no issue. But kinda Eghh market and a fairly new planner do not help.

Cause we got 1 guy for the whole west coast, save for the dedicated fleets.

Typically i mess around in the middle of the country or the west and the second i get on the east coast the Eastern planners immediatly throw me back west. As of late. Where they used to always steal me and trap me on that coil triangle.


Friday when i last spoke there were 86 van drivers waiting for a load, which may have changed by now. But the scraps that were left over were all utter crap at the time.

The other issue is, there is often freight avalible out here, but its too cheap for the division to even think of touching.


As for van freight im afraid i just dont know.

But yeah, socal needs alot of things but doesn't necessarily produce as much. Despite being a major industrial center.


Now if your reefer you can escape socal all day long. That i do know. But our division doesn't like touching reefer loads just because its so bloody hard to get back to flat freight.

Right now the goal is get to texas, they got the goods there. For us.

 

jurupa terminal.
Tcalled load here last nite.
started my personal truck(f250) and heard a loud exhaust leak.
looked under and saw where someone cut and stole catalac converter.
reported it to management and had police make a report.
terminal leader had a mechanic take pics and while walking back I said to him wondering if it's another driver needed one or a pack.
he pointed out another truck.like mine and i.looked under that one and his is missing too.
f'n theives

 

Steve has lost gas etc. with his truck in the lot.

 

this is the 3rd time my truck been messed with in this lot

 

Dang, but im not surprised.

Stealing it for the Platinum probably.

 

that what the terminal and fleet manager said

 

I might have saw you, you got longish hair? I approached a few wearing flannel, and i ran right by someone wearing it as well but was preoccupied at that moment.

I actually had my Behemoth Hoodie on today. (Black with even blacker lettering.) And at some point my black reflective vest.

We are headed down to Otay Mesa then Massachusets. Now.

 

no I have really short hair. I usually get it cut at #1 but it's almost ti.e to cut it lol. if I ca grab my hair it's tooong lol.
most of my t-shirts I wear have something to do with fishing
or boat I fish on.
today I am in bluesman shorts and an excel sportfishing green t-shirt. also wearing the flannel jacket
