Is it slow season now?

This time of year is trade show busy season. San Diego is a primo spot to be in. But most guys who don't do them all the time dont like trade shows.

 

Yea? You know what a dispatcher/broker have in common with a diaper?

Always on your rear and normally full of Sheet!

 

Sometimes when they keep giving u those short loads and u get tired of it. Tell ur dispatcher " u dont mind doing them short runs and helping them out but u guys have to throw me a bone every once in awhile and give me something good"

Otherwise u will turn into their mule. They know u will do the runs so they keep giving them to u . it is possible to voice ur concerns and ask them to help u out without being a dick about it or losing ur job . just remeber the squeeky wheel always gets the grease, u will put urself ahead of alot of guys especially at swift if ur able to have that conversation in a professional manner. Good luck to u

 

Out of all the places to be stuck in ..... San Diego is a wonderful place to be stuck. They would have to pry me out of there. I would be happy to spend a week there. Staying at my favorite Marriott hotel and living the good life. Beautiful beaches , beautiful women , fantastic bars great hotels. Trucking is a cool job for sure.

 

From what I was just told, freight is very good in the mid-west right now.

My next load is a Post load going to SLC, and it is already about 3 days late.
