Well gents. Looks like this might be the end of the line for me in terms of local LTL/P&D
I got my foot in the door running intermodul containers from the port to wherever on a M-F daily home basis. The starting pay is at minimum $12k more a year than what I am making now.
Big question is, if I get the job, can I still hang around here with you guys?

What made you leave LTL for intermodal? -
Trailer that I was supposed to take with me at the swap yesterday had a broken handle. Had to leave it at the customers yard with the freight in it. Gotta love it

Now that I am all settled, I want to make more... And once again, I am jumping on the first ship that is passing by. I really did not mind doing linehaul back on MT. My prospective employer would have me run overnight and pay me about the same I made working for Reddaway.
Working my current cake job has made me super lazy. I really just want to drive without all the BS I dealt with when I did P&D. Some of you that followed me are probably going to chime in with "it really isn't that bad or stressful, you just ended up in a crappy mismanaged barn".
Probably true, but they poisened the waters enough for me that I don't think I can dip back into it for a while.speedyk, Fuelinmyveins and MACK E-6 Thank this. -
I hope your current employer is being straight with you on the pay--container outfits tend to be a bit shady.
But if it works out, awesome! And you can't leave--TTR wouldn't be the same without ya. Guess you're stuck here whether you like it or not.road_runner, MACK E-6, Cardfan89 and 1 other person Thank this. -
I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked.LoneCowboy and speedyk Thank this. -
I have a feeling the yard jockey that moved that trailer might have done that. Not only was the handle broken, but also the trailer was raised all the way up.

I was just curious if you guys were gonna excommunicate me to the intermodul subfolder. I know when I found out that @Shaggy moved to roll on dumpsters, I didn't want my name associated with him anymore. I pulled his name off our mailing list for our monthly pancake social and everything.
I think our parting words were "I hope you fail, you're dead to me" .
