I think it was Roadway, which wouldn’t surprise me because apparently they’re the same ones who wanted to man to check the load, load his pallet jack, grab his truck and hook up to his trailer, perform a pretrip inspection, and roll out in the space of 8 minutes. “Out the gate in 8” I think they called it.
My outfit expects 20 minutes but even that’s impossible if you want to do it right, especially if you run different equipment every day which thankfully I don’t.
I went to the shop once for a shot of hub oil for a trailer and the acting shop foreman was amazed that somebody actually checks that.
