Lumpers - are they needed

The lumper kick-back scam is another thing I'll be writing Pilosi about.

The scam never really affected me, but I know it affects you owner operators. I know what you go through. If you choose to unload your own freight at a big DC, you're often forced to wait a lot longer to get unloaded. You'll also be forced to use a sweat jack instead of a juice jack. This is, of course, your punishment for denying that dock its kick-back.

 

Just the other day we had a young man here who wants to be a truck driver when he grows up........The rules were put in place for a reason......and you agreed to abide by these rules when you signed on........

Luv is a good moderator and did her job........she has edited me before too. It's not a big deal, try not to make it one........

BTW, I pulled flat for 1 week and I know you do allot more work then anybody pulling a van or refer. Way too much work. I'd rather spend the companies money on a lumper and go to bed then throw chains and tarps in all kinds of weather.......and yes, I am one of those 400 pound tubs of lard........

If you have a problem with the rules please feel free to go to one of the more relaxed forums that are available to truck drivers.

 

Wal*Mart uses regular Wal*Mart employees. In essence you are paying Wal*Mart to unload their freight....

 

You may be 400 pounds, but i still like you... I am not sure what is point is ..... when i played football in college i had 400+ blocker's bloking for me, in fact, not only could they move realy good, they saved my butt every time i touched that ball , which was alot, us being a runing team...
SO THANK YOU TO ALL THE 400POUNDERS..

 

No, not yet....Are ya trying?
