    Many folks in these offices seem to have the attitude they dont care how much of the driver’s time they waste because they go home at the end of the day..then they wonder why drivers are pissed..frankly great drivers really dont need those idiots..great drivers who have brains could do this job without these idiots.

    I just don’t get it. They say a trained monkey could do this job. Hopefully that same trained monkey could last more than 90 days.

    Indian River Transport is looking better and better. No doors to swing, no broker freight and everything I’m looking for these last 21 months is available. Oh, and .10 cpm more with the same or more miles.

    Many of these fools literally could not do anything in life unless the computer told them how to do it where to do it when to do it… These idiots are absolutely clueless…

    Mom update…….

    Thank you everyone for the thoughts and prayers. My wife got mom home after her treatment with no after effects from the chemo except a little nausea. Today she’s out with Lesli doing some real estate work. I look at what an 88 year old mom is going through, then I look at my day, my day is comical compared to what mom is enduring.

    Funny you say that, if the internet goes down in Richmond, they’d have to shut the company down.

    It’s always good to be taken out of one’s issues. I’m just about loaded here in Fontana with a load of portable generators destined for Florida. I’m bringing it as far as the West Memphis yard. Someone else will bring it to Orlando. Feels good to be involved in helping people out that are in much worse shape then me.

    Tanker is a lot less bs, at least it was when I did food grade. I was looking at IRT as well for the coast to coast runs they have. Boxes seem to just have ridiculous amount of dumb bs involved and Ive only been around the industry 18.5 years.
