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

Sent all the pictures to safety and my dispatcher. Waited around 3 hours and safety, dispatch and the customer said roll with it as is. When I saw how wet the boxes were, I wasn't gonna move an inch until Arlington said to. By the time I got the o.k. to roll, it was so much later than I wanted to roll I decided to finish a 34 at the dump terminal...who needs a shower, toilet paper or soap. I did voice my displeasure with how this sorry ### terminal is being run when I spoke to Arlington...doubt it does any good since he is acting like a Wylie man, and Wylie seems to be calling the shots more and more...but, ya gotta try.

 

I guess this "partnership" we have with Wylie only goes one way. I thought it was to help us keep moving when our freight was slow or help us with freight outside our normal lanes. At least a dozen outside carriers pulled skid steer loads out of here today, and I am stuck on a 3 day 500 mile run....and people wonder why I have such a bad attitude and hate Wylie. I guess now that Moore has vanished from existence, I guess we're the red headed step child now. I will be doing my very best to discourage any driver from making the switch to this place.

 

The problem is THEY DON'T CARE. They have a crack staff of recruiters keeping butts in the seats. Since becoming a Wylie doppelganger, they have adopted the same attitude about driver retention that Wylie has.

And if they think I am gonna donate any more of my life fixing their junk, they can think again. I don't care if it costs the $250 for a shop to replace a marker light or mudflap. Snackbar isn't their free show pony anymore. If it needs fixed, point me to a shop or call a service truck.
