A good company

I say I’m now happy where I’m at. They try.
Here’s an example of what makes them good.
Had a run to NE. 5 drops. We had this winter storm moving to NE. All kinds of talk.
I hit it hard to beat it for my deliveries. Succeeded. Then set up with a backhaul out of York PA. It turned bad. Here today, Friday. I didn’t want to push my luck. All kinds of freezing rain, sleet etc. Temps dropping all morning. At 33f. Told dispatch I didn’t want to go anywhere else today. Road conditions getting too iffy. They said ok. Have to set me up with something Monday. That meant sitting here in York all weekend. Got a call later today from dispatch. Said my next pickup will be in St Louis Monday morning. I know that was a gift to me. There is plenty up here to haul. They didn’t want to stick me with sitting in York all weekend.
That’s a good company.

 

850 miles of deadhead.

 

There is no uncertainty of loads out of the NE. Besides... we have a bunch of loads out of a place in Joisey. Can’t load till Monday.
The St Louie. It’s always a partial and hazmat. It’s Moonshine. He has some difficulty getting it because of that. Usually has a partial here. Then pick up St Louie. This time he found another partial in Kansas City.
Funny... where we deliver the moonshine. Not enough room for a 53 footer and OTR condo. Guy tells them to send a day cab. Our guy had me deliver there once. Talked with the guy. Sent picture from my cab of on the dock. It was all trees and bushes in the windshield. Guy there told me; Anybody who gets a condo with a 53 footer on my dock. He gets a free bottle of booze. (Gin or Vodka) hehe. I opted for a kiss from his Pit Terrier.

 

Not sure they’ll allow me to say.
Im not recruiting.
It’s just a good small company that tries.
