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

Load planner in general at a lot of companies don’t seem to know what they’re doing or don’t seem to be highly confident… Now I know there’s at times where loads are booked at the last minute and put on trucks but for the most part a lot of these loads are pre-booked And with E logs and their access to it there is no excuse for not having loads preplanned on trucks, especially on those ones that are routinely where they say they’re gonna be when they say they’re gonna be… Not planning accordingly is one of the biggest issues in this industry with some of these companies

 

A thought to ponder, if I have an 1,800 mile run why put a driver on it at $.68 per mile if I can assign it to a $.60 per mile driver? I suspect this will continue to happen to many of the higher earners.

 

When they switched half the fleet from day rate to mileage, they based their cpm rate on experience, not years with the company. Basically most of the people switched went to the top of the pay scale.

TLR ain’t no way we have our #### together on that level. (Maybe, who knows )

 

.@supersnackbar have you looked at Blackhawk transport. They are all dedicated and have a 48 state OTR flat bed division that hauls the POD containers, no tarping throw some straps on and go. I think some places you might have to take them off or in using there forklift

 

There website says they have openings in Orlando Blackhawk Transport Jobs Search

 

Well that’s one way of getting rid of them, pool all of your expensive drivers in one place…and compete them with EW, who are showing up at an alarming number of places where I load.

 

@kylefitzy i saw one of the new COTC color schemes on way home yesterday. Just didn’t look right towing that billboard.

SSB wish I had a week to catch up on all the comments. Best of luck and hope you find something that works for you.
