    Might be good timing... stay off the Truck just long enough to get it fixed... get healthy and back in the truck you like/want.

    Heal Quickly!!!

    I have seen electrical cars, trucks and buses. But this is the first time I seen an "electrical yard dog truck" the guy driving it says that it will last for up to 2 working shift with no problems; the only down side is it only does 18 mph... Slow as a turtle with no real power of moving trailers around.

    Took a 34 on the yard so I can make to washington for home time. No loads going straight there I guess so they gave me a load going to Colorado to get me in that direction. Get there and tell them Abilene here for pickup and they have nothing for Abilene. Call Darius up and sure enough it was a broker load and they didn’t give me the load number and phone number to call to get the pickup number.....

    In this case the place is so new all you see is trees that used to live there.

    Third Strike... another broker load today... go pick this up and take to Wytheville... I get there... I don’t have the 866xxxx number that I need to get past security... park, call broker, no clue... he will check into it... waiting, waiting, waiting.... finally went back to the guard shack and asked her if she could call shipping and give them my pickup number and maybe they could then give me the number requested of me.... she called... they said...

    “That load doesn’t get loaded until SUNDAY.”

    Priceless... three loads... in a row.... lol
    I swear I didn’t piss anyone off that bad... lol
     
    MACK E-6, Silverdriver and Finfn1372 Thank this.

    I see the incompetence that is Abilene operations is still chugging along. Sorry you continually have to put up with that type of stuff. Issues like you have is that exact reason I left.

    Yeah I think alot of it depend's on the area you're in.

    Guess what,doing the same thing this weekend with the same load going to Ga lol.
