    I thought we were stuck with them because they were a similar OD hauler. Sounds like Daseke screwed up (again) by partnering us with another incompatible company. Putting us with Lonestar sounds like they would have been a better fit.

    I know you’re not much of a local guy, I have a good friend working for WBT, we worked together for years where I’m at, and he is making excellent money and home everyday. I had no idea they pay as well as they do.
     
    Oxbow and Rugerfan Thank this.

    We pull very little od freight in the grand scheme of things. Ew Wiley has a proven track record of turning unprofitable operations into profit making companies. Like it or not but Wylie was bought for pennies on the dollar and are now one of the most profitable Daseke companies. We just may not like how they get to that result.

    That's what happens when you sell your soul for success I guess. I just know, I won't see my 3rd anniversary here. I am getting tired of the frog soup they serve at the all new SPD.

    Typical mega company.. they don't give a #### about their drivers.
    waiting on a load for 4 days.. complete nonsense unless they are paying you the same wage to sit there.. a good company keeps you running no matter what

    The reason you don't make a spot

    And my dash cam caught it on video, I can't upload the video, but here is the culprit

    He hit the guy so hard it pulled the TMC forward about 2 feet....his front spread hit and bent the bumper and damaged the hood. (Based on how long my cam shows him sitting there, they had a meeting after the merger)

    And the white truck ended up parking right near him (truck 2040 in the top picture)

    Well at least he didn’t run.

    my load failed the 10psi pressure test so here I sit by the door until they find the leak. Hopefully it’s in the blind flanges that block off the radiator, that would be an easy fix.

    I walked by his truck to dump my trashcan, it took out the radiator. There is a trail of red coolant all the way to the curb. There is a road service truck looking at it now, but I bet there will most likely be a tow truck coming for this guy.

    Yeah if it took out the hood and radiator it most likely damaged parts deeper too. To the dealer it goes, that’s why I nose in park when I see a good spot to do it.
