Hauling Onions

Good to hear driver. Hope you don't have any problems with TQL though. Nightmare never ends with them slimy low life #### eating dog kicking louzy stinking worthless pieces of elephant dung. If I had a penny for every time I've heard a driver complaint about them Id only need to run about 100 miles per week...if I had a penny for every time I heard a shipper complain about them I'd never have to drive a truck again.

 

PUT A 4 X 4 IN THE FRONT AND ONE IN THE REAR. that way you have the front row leaning into the load and the rear row also leaning into the load.

bad thing about onions is you basically have to drive during the day. like others said. they will cook if you decided to take your 10 during the day.

if your flatbedding. lay the tarps over THEN strap. keeps the onions in place as compared to some drivers that lose half there load by the time they make delivery. and if you have to cover. left the front and rear flaps open for air to circulate.

onions is really a cake walk. but receivers will complain that the load is no good. make up some BS excuse about fda inspection before they can approve and all that crap.

they'll unload you. but if they can get out of paying they will. and you DID say it was a TQL load.

good luck driver.

 

Id let them sit and rot for $1.60 per mile and just stay out of those areas. Best way to haulem is simply not to

 

Yeah no ####. You can haul landscaping rock for more than that and not have to worry about the load going bad.

 

Come on now driver, why don't you tell us how you really feel. LOL

 

What if outside temp about 20f , can I keep my reefer unit run in cycle?

 

I would pass it up unless its paying 2.70-3.00 mile

 

I use my reefers in continuous. The only time I cycled them is when fuel gets short. I just run the hell out of my reefers. For the most part all of them did well with one that failed in the high end one day in Grand Junction Co. Since it was only 50F outside with a 46F load and rain, off to Denver (At night) we go right quick. They fixed the unit at sunrise before delivery downtown.
