Greater omaha express ..thread 2.

Thank you

 

No I'm not going the way of Jimmy Hoffa lol.
Well we had half a meeting yesterday and then Brent had to go so going to finish up when I get back from Tulsa .
I told em they can find someone else to do NYC and ill be sticking to the Midwest at least until they can come up with somthing to replace gordmans off the east coast .
As I'm not interested in that produce crap out of the ports ...not worth my time .
I heard from one of the shag drivers yesterday in a bs session that Brent and the traffic manager in the plant don't get along because the plant wants to dump all its crap loads on us and Brent won't take em .
When I got to the office yesterday sir kraut was giving them his own ### chewing and he may have said the remainder of what I have to say for me .
Still not sure what the future holds here yet .

 

I liked sir kraut tom lol and thanks for your chat the other day .
I went down to Tulsa and called bill this morning from KC and told him how about an Ohio load for Monday and he said he'd work on it but head for Omaha .
I made it almost to Iowa and he called asking if I would turn around and go back to st. Joseph mo to get a load out of the pork plant tmw going to the Youngstown oh area for Monday and I said hell yeah ...a 1000 miles in the books by Monday morning will make for a good week next week .

 

I've cooled off from last week a quite a bit and thought things over a lot and especially and kraut and I talked .
My call is we got a big communication problem and lack there of .
We also have dispatchers that are overworked with booking loads and dealing with customers and drivers , negotiating rates etc .
At least one of the 3 dispatchers has never been in a truck before and all 3 know nothing about running the northeast .

 

Well find out ...I just sent Brent a message echoing what I just said here .
