    Just what I was thinking :biggrin_25514:

    Do you reckon he'd been sampling his pay load ?

    No big deal. Just "blow it in place.":biggrin_2559: Of course then they just might have to replace the bridge and the road it crosses. But looking at the bright side of that, it would put more folks back to work!:biggrin_25525:

    Be nice if they were cold ones....that's a dry van. All I can do is shake my head...not the first Werner I've seen hauling an overpass.

    ...or actually a warm one. It looks like it was a dry-van to me hauling Old Milwaukee. Cheap beer gets cheap freight.

    That's why we call any Budwieser load "welfare water."

    Doesn't matter. Loads are ultra-heavy (meaning high fuel burn,) pay isn't even enough to be called cheap freight. It's welfare. Talk about bottom-feeder companies...

    as for being cold, werner does not own blue reefers. they're always white usually with shiny doors...some of them are leased and only say werner on the front, too.. :)


    my truck only shows .3 mpg drop from haulin it... and im not saying i agree with hauling anything ultra cheap, but they more than make up for it on some loads....we have a few loads that for whatever reason show the actual rate the customer is paying at the bottom of the trip info...i think they copy/paste too much..hah... i see $3 a mile plus fuel plus tolls....

    my favorite though....is when it shows ACTUAL MILES at the bottom of the message...and its always higher than paid....
