Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

Made it to Laredo. Texas is really big.

 

Well, attempted drop at Hopkins SV but was told we only drop dry loads and the person who could authorize wouldn't be there for a few hours. I'll try again after 10hr break at CR. Trying to get up to Waite Park (hopefully not what I'm really going to do, but that is a funny name for a shipper's location) and out of there before the wind and snow starts there then down to Sysco Jackson WI. Looks like they should have parking there on the street anyway. Del there Tues 0700 and find out what'll get me home. The Florida news sounds interesting except for the reload in ATL part...but what little good freight comes out of Florida was spoken for decades ago! Fargo and blizzard warning for Monday...winter is here.

 

Scooter, why park on the street at Jackson? Here:
Pioneer Plaza Truck Stop, Richfield, Wisconsin 53076 - Pioneer Plaza Truck Stop, US41, 3230 Pioneer Rd, Off 41, Nearest exit: 60, GPS: 43.28172, -88.19751

It’s about 3-4 miles from Sysco

 

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Magnum knows who had that trailer last. They know the condition of it at it's last check. If you pick up a trailer with damage you report it to Bridgette.

They won't take the time to find out who did it and report it on their DAC. But a driver who, is a good employee and reports it, will have it placed on their DAC.

 

Well, had an unwanted 34 at the house...don’t deliver until 23:00 in Sturtevant...then planned on load picking up out of Appleton going to Fargo. Once I am unloaded in Sturtevant, I am parking...been a busy Monday. We’re getting our bathroom redone and i’ve ripping and running getting a vanity and a toilet. Thankfully only 2 1/2 hours from the receiver. So a cat nap a nice cup of Pilot coffee will suffice.

 

Or the Richfield Truck Stop just south at exit 57. Good food. Sawmill Inn up the hill is also good and has a bar if you need a hot toddy.

 

It better not be on my DAC or I'll have the longest DAC in history.

 

Not yours I meant if an employee did it and reported it.

 

Just woke up from a nap. Gonna be on graveyard shift the next two nights. Picking up later this evening at Lineage in San Antonio, TX going to Darian, WI for 11:00 Wednesday.

 

Ah. Well, what can I say? Sometimes you just have to own your mistakes.

In my experience, where Magnum has shown the leniency is not knocking down your pay by taking points off on the safety metric. Or just plain firing someone. Assuming you self-reported and learned from the mistake that is. And I've seen some guys get away with some pretty monumental ####-ups, btw.

But they got to write it down somewhere, and now we all know when it's going to come out. Be prepared.

Feel bad for ncmickey and Xeres, walked in to job interviews thinking they had clean records, walked out feeling like a couple of schmucks.
