    Shower and the toilet within in the men's room was working fine yesterday. Of course deuce handling capabilities are entirely dependent on the size of your deuce!.

    Uber?

    I've have never tried it but was thinking it might be an option when OTR ... or on the yard.

    Has anyone here used it before? Or Lyft?

    Just curious about your thoughts if you did.

    Do go ask... quickly, before the wind is completely out of those sails.... (totally understand that feeling)

    And I was specifically told they didn't have issues keeping drivers moving so please let me know how long you are there so I can update the one that told me to the current reality.

    Well, maybe I misunderstood what I heard about load management... LOL


    ------------
    Well, mixed messages about how sticky the yard is...

    "We are not experiencing any issues here at the Richmond yard getting drivers planned on loads and keeping them moving."
    -------------



    Now they have to plan the drivers "loads" to keep them "moving"... LOL ... just walk up to the window to schedule your "Live Unload"!!!

    They send a note to your QC when it's your turn.

    I went in about 30 mins after that post and got a load delivering in OH Monday morning. Two days in a row I have gotten loads upon asking so if there is a waiting list of drivers it must be those wanting to go to specific areas.

    I just powered up the truck this morning and the QC went NUTS.... 22 (TWENTY TWO) new unread messages since I shut down at 5:30am this morning.

    This may take awhile to figure out. :D
    Or just read the very last one and ignore the rest.

    They must not be. The patio and lounge are empty so no clue where those "non moving" drivers are. It is possible that drivers in the wild aren't moving as much as they would like to, but that is always going to be an issue on weekends when DMs are off.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this.
