Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Is a tracksuit okay? I've found that I look great in those, so I'm trying to get away from sweatpants.

 

Need to upgrade to a white junk box Volvo and a rail chassis for this to work. Preferably move to Chicago as well.

 

My 1099 millions await!

 

I wouldn't take it to heart on fridays I pick up from a box manufacturing plant. Well I have been on this route over a year so I'm in pretty good with the receivers they always put me in a dock door first no matter if otr guys where before me. I have had looks and comments about it and I just shrug my shoulders and walk away but I also go out on the dock and help them load my trailer also..... moral of the story is just do your job I guess lol

 

I have been on both sides of the fence and can understand your and his side. If you did your best to park that’s all you can do. If there were spots you could have used besides the pump then you shouldn’t park on the pump. It is frustrating to pull up to fuel when most of the trucks parked at the pump fuel at their terminals and spots are open elsewhere. I said something to an unnamed LTL driver one day that parked at the last pump available as I was pulling up to fuel. He told me you can’t back doubles in to those available spots. He had one long box on his tractor.

 

I wouldn’t worry about it. Plus, there is like 5 other truck stops in that area alone. Personally, I prefer Petro over there.

I run nights as well and park at fuel island to get sandwich or coffee. I saw Estes guys doing a swap at fuel island last night. Lol.

 

I agree. If the fuel island is swamped and there's another place I can park, I'm definitely going somewhere else. But not every situation is the same. I think that guy was trying to apply a one size fits all code of ethics to a situation that was a little more gray.

 

The Petro is the much nicer truck stop. But they don't have a Dunkin donuts. Lol

 

Lol I don’t really run that way anymore but I did go to Love’s in Ina, IL few weeks ago and that place is a headache.

Last night I actually saw Estes guy doing a swap at fuel island. Lol. Not my business plus it was like 1am.

 

If nobody's around, I don't think anyone should care. Not even in the slightest.
