My new experience with Gordon Trucking, post-buyout

Yup. Not brand new. But newer. It is what it is. If things go south here I'll be shouting at you for a hook up over there. Lol.

 

Why don't you point it out to him. I think a lot of people are so self absorbed they don't realize what they are doing. I have asked plenty of guys to move at some of the produce shacks. Most are okay, some give me an attitude. I just tell them it is my first trip out and I am not very good at backing and might hit them and they usually move.

 

LOL I might have to try that sometime

 

. Last time I was going that way I got rerouted south no prob

 

Because some MBA said "ooh it's a couple of miles shorter lets all go that way". Rather than fully thinking through the process and adding the costs of:
burning the extra fuel for the climb, ware and tare on the equipment (What fresh air? All I smell is burning breaks!), and driver fatigue.

I also think On time delivery does not enter into their process either.

One advantage to refer/produce: Customers will not let you go over I70. The lettuce explodes. Well the cells rupture but exploding lettuce sounds better.

Hanging in Vaughn NM tonight. Glad to be outa the heat. Delivered in San Diego the other day and it was pushing 90. That sucks in the summer time. Then was hung up in LA and Yuma for a day each.

 

Hey blu..next time you see the pizza man say hi for me.

I miss that guy..lol

 

I asked for routing from Ohio to Rancho in Cali. It is only 33 miles longer, much flatter and much easier on the epuipment. I got routed down to I-40. The old original "Route 66".
