Foodliner, DBA, Gless Bros, Blue Grass Ia.

Quick look at what I'm up to. Left Ottumwa Monday afternoon going down here to MS. Will be back in Ottumwa wedsnesday evening $645.00 bucks richer. I love the idea of out and back loads. No wasted time waiting for someone to decide what you are doing next. Getting paid to do work other than driving (That's the $45.00). Being able to do my own scheduling. Can't believe I wasted so much time bumping docks.

 

Well then great job Slut4Money.lol

 

Two more joyous notes from my job. First I have a load that delivered in Cedar Rapids just over 100 miles be there anytime in the morning. I roll in at 0700 and get told by the control room it will be a few hours as that their tank is too full. I make the call to let Darrell know expecting to hear the dreaded phrase"Well keep track of your time so we can pay you detention" instead I get a casual "Huh, well just bring it back here" Fancy that I get to keep on earning instead of sitting and waiting. Why did I stay that extra year bumping docks?

Secondly I get sent to bail out the slackers at the Waterloo yard and go deliver a load that get blown into a trailer dropped at the customers location. Some genius decided the best place to stick this trailer is up a hill and I can't get mine very close at all. I end up using both my hoses and both hoses off the dropped trailer. Make a quick mention of it to Darrell and out pours directions on how to fill out the paperwork to get paid for my troubles. Again what an amazing concept. Pay folks for what they do for you. The nice part was adding the extra hoses added maybe ten minutes to my day.

I can see why their turnover is somewhere between nothing and almost nonexistent. Just a great bunch of people to work for and with.

 

are they tankers or dry ...cuz they seam they are nice to their drivers?

 

Gless Bros is liquid but Foodliner has some dry bulk. And yes they are nice to us.

Today the big boss man Tim over at Blue grass sent me a message wishing me a happy birthday and apologizing for being a day late with it...He was four days early. Another person trying to push me into an early grave.

He also mentioned I was doing a great job for them so it is nice to have someone acknowledge your efforts.

 

hows the pay and otr time?
