My Experience with Lone Star Transportation

Doesn't even matter anyway, you know once you get near Illinois you're probably going to end up loading something with yellow paint on it.

 

Most likely.

 

Just an FYI for anyone that ever picks up at cat in Washington, IL. The road that looks like a donkey trail is the one you turn down.

 

haha.. donkey trail.

i'm headed south to Hidalgo.. which is in Pharrs backyard. Do we haul out of Pharr normally or will I be sent to Laredo from there? I hope not... i'm already tired of the laredo/NC loop. I sat for 24 hours between monday and tuesday waiting for an MT. the hostler told us 4 there was 1 guy in the back unloading and he generally takes 10 hours to unload a trailer. That was a fun wait.

 

And one of the guys I talked to at one of the Cat plants said they sandblast them anyway, so he don't even know why they make us tarp.

 

I just be a good little boy and do what I am told.

 

Loading at the Port of Houston tomorrow, then hopefully be home tomorrow night ready to deliver Monday morning in Corinth, MS.

 

AT,

You still with LS or did you move to LTL. I'm LTL with Southeastern, only been there since March and it is time to go. They started outsourcing loads to other carriers(yup, you guessed it, cheaper for them to outsource and make more money) and their "in-house" drivers are getting screwed. Moral, according to drivers that have been there 20, 30+ years, is the lowest they have ever seen it. Anyway, wanted to know if your still with LS and if its still working out. I'm interested in buying a truck and leasing on with them if they allow it. Thanks!
