Arnold Drivers, What's your 20?

I'm thinking ya'll are right, he just needs to stay put and ride it out. As AWFUL and RIDICULOUS as it is. It is his decision in the end ! Thanks for the input! He probably needs to get away from any USX owned !!!

 

At home today. IP dedicated is boring, but predictable for miles and hometime. I got a call the other day from the CEO asking if I was interested in a new dedicated gig out of the Tulsa area needing tanker & HM, but my wife & I still plan to move to a 48st or western-oriented OTR home this June.

 

They must be getting hard-pressed to get some driver interest. Todd said he would help with that. I just told him I would look into the endorsement (HM) when I got home, but I just don't see me doing it. He said I would be running to Houston, WY, and CA. Another nugget I heard via D'angelo in GP is that despite the requirement for tank & HM, it's drybox loads for Baker-Hughes. Todd said they had 11 and needed twice that many drivers.
Did y'all see the "feel asleep at the wheel" wreck? It's at GP , bit they posted pics on the bulletin board, so I'm guessing they may have posted it in Jax as well....

 

Penske is awesome! One of the best gigs I ever had was with Penske Logistics at the Mission Foods plant in Pueblo,CO. Never had to log fuel by getting full-service fuel at Penske and maint was quick and done right. I only wish I had one of the Penske Cascadias we have at IP Ama...

 

I forgot a side detail of my phonecon with Ceo. I asked why detention took so long to "process". He flat told me that Arnold could/would not pay the driver detention hours until they collected from the shipper/receiver. I guess that means a claim through the state dept of labor?

 

Well............. my husband started Arnold on Jan 2, and SO FAR, it has been a world of a difference from Total. NO break downs with the exception of the batteries being replaced and that was done within HOURS of him writing it up in JAX. Between 2500-3000 miles weekly. Great customer service in all departments, good dispatchers and no hassels with detention pay, layover pay or advances/expenses. GREAT experience with Arnold so far! I'll update again at the end of next month !
