Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

You've got like 48 years seniority. Lol

 

I am just starting my busy season.

 

I’m gonna have to pass on that LOL

Dude, you ain’t even kidding. I’m doing night LH right now and i’m supposed to be getting a day shift P&D spot run soon. Madness lmao

 

No. In fact I've been busyer then ever. Though, we have seen 4 of our drivers decide to do other things with their lives.

One, is due to have her 3rd child mid April.

A second is going back to construction.

A third decided, that since his papercut in the Chair Force was covered no by the VA. He was gonna go back to college and get a degree in cyber security. Thinks he's gonna get a job at the CIA. Nevermind that he's had 5 jobs in the last 10 years.

And the 4th, is going to a vac truck company for the summer.

Otherwise, our freight is going nuts right now.

 

Things are decent by us. A step below our heaviest times, but not slow.

 

Busier than expected due to our mild winter. I bid the last in the lane, thinking I’d get canceled a lot, but instead I’ve been working almost every day and there’s usually enough freight that I can turn and burn at the hub without waiting.

We just hired another driver to fill out the extra board, and they’re still trying to hire a couple more drivers to take freight that’s currently being run by purchased transportation.

 

Out of curiosity, how long does it take you guys to build a set? It takes me about 30 ish minutes more or less, usually a lil more.
