Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

It's a fine line, I sometimes give out my number. Have to be in good standing regular customer that respects OFF DUTY.

 

I use my personal phone to call customers, but my company doesn't give our numbers out. Regards if s customer called me back I typically don't answer or just hang up if it's not my wife or mom. I'm not much of a phone user.

 

Everything Google does is a trade. You will give up your privacy to earn those bucks. Some don't care, I happen to. EDIT: An example from today

You could also buy the cheapest prepaid phone at Wally or off Craigslist, give that number to your company as the new number and let the minimum-purchase minutes run out. Either way I'd likely change my primary number if it wasn't a lot of trouble.

My dispatch used to give my number to customers. I started giving the pita customers the owners and dispatchers home numbers. Their wives were not amused.

Bad ice in Ohio last night. One bridge on I-71 at exit 169 near Mansfield caused an ABF to flip his rear pup on the northbound side AND a FedEx Freight to lose and flip his rear pup and dolly on the southbound side. This stuff sucks; I want my mommy.

 

Come out the southwest where it's cold but dry.

Do linehaul guys use the trolley handle to line em up when they get unsettled? I rode with a FxG driver who did that. on a slick road to pull 'em in.
