Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Yesterday I had a smooth day at work besides a hard to handle case of Mahi Mahi. At any rate though bank says they won't loan me any money because I have no credit so I have to go out and rack up some credit card debt and the only way to do that, that I can think of is to buy expensive large, heavy awkward LTL freight and have it delivered to my parents house so I today I am going to find something heavy and awkward to buy and see if Roadrunner and the USF Reddeway team can deliver it to my house I'm thinking a 28'x46" pallet will do the trick and I'm much to cheap to want lift gate delivery and I have no dock or fork lift so it's going to be a real challenge LOL!

 

Try joining a credit union. Far better than any bank. Choose one that belongs to the Co-op Network so that you have access to more ATM's and branches.

 

AMEN to that! I haven't done business with a bank in years. We, (wife and I) do have two different credit unions, in two different states where we have accounts. Just a bit of added insurance there....

 

Found a seriously bent rim during my pre trip last night. It almost looked like a capital D. The lone shop guy decided to beat it back to mostly round with a sledge and call it good, then got mad when I wouldn't pull out of the shop until he signed my DVIR.

 

Did he sign it or change the rim/tire??

 

He put a new rim and tire on. Guess it's a different story when you have to take responsibility for your work. Took him about half the time he spent banging the other one.

 

At GFS they do tires like NASCAR seriously they have a whole rack of tires on rims they would have taken the old tire and rim off and put a new tire and rim on just like a NASCAR pit crew and we would have been on our way. We for what ever reason go through a lot of tires I don't know what it is, but we have a lot of trailer tire blow outs we had one this week a recap blew out.
