An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

2 of my favorite companies.................to hate and avoid

sounds like they haven't totally lost the AGC account then. I know the Moore guys use to do all the securement for our loads and Maverick drop trailers. I know right before the Wylie takeover, Maverick under bid us on a bunch of lanes. That was when they started making some drivers pull general freight back haul loads on certain customers. That was the beginning of the end of Moore.

 

I actually decided I didn't even want to get close to that God forsaken city...or as I see it - Satan's playhouse. When I pulled Homestake pass and only had to drop one full gear, I decided to take the scenic route thru the Reservation (US-212). Cutting those extra miles off going that way will only put me 40 miles over what they are paying me and I ended up going across 90. If I want to show off some, I could actually deliver this load by noon on Tuesday with a few hours to start towards my next adventurous destination.

 

Believe it or not, I am only grossing a few thousand more per year here hauling general freight after the daily rate pay change than I was at Moore hauling only glass, and work way harder here.

I have picked up in W. Chester just once and it wasn't a pretty load. Plus I had an issue with my truck...the linkage for the exterior door handle popped off so I couldn't get in without leaving my window open.
