Climate Express

Oh yeah man, Climate is getting a whole face-lift lol

 

I know right?! I just assumed they found a better job. Both of them had been there for so many years. Travis had told me in the past that he woild have been there 10 years by April or May of this year. They've had some great stability there over the years.

 

Oh yeah, in fact, they love it when you come early. The guy told me that last week lol. There is plenty of overnight parking there. I'm sorry I didn't see your message sooner brother. They will load you quick as hell too

 

Lol I gotta admit I chuckled some. I feel the need to offer perspective here. We lost a dispatcher and a safety manager to what in assuming to be a chance to better themselves. It ain't the first time that they've fussed about the tails and fuel stops. Climate Express management can definitely be anal about fuel usage and stops. I've heard other drivers get a phone call when they showed up at the yard with their trailer tails closed. I've been told that some of the drivers liked to call and shoot the breeze with dispatch...that's why that message about using the computer came about. Who has time for that? We all know how truckers like telling stories lol. I hardly ever call the office. It has to be dire if I call them. I don't hardly talk to dispatch any other besides the computer. It's been almost 5 years and I couldn't tell you the names of most of the people I see in the office.....and that's a good thing. There are drivers that can....amd they may not be running many miles.

 

Ahhh ok, how did that routing go? I'm 80 miles into Missouri. I got this heavy ### load out of New Orleans. A load of metal. About 3 more hrs or so and should be in East Alton for delivery. It has a 3 pm to 11 pm window so maybe they'll take it off early. One could hope
