Schneider to ACT - yes, another ACT thread :)

Dropped a load in Munster, IN...next to Gary. Getting loaded tomorrow morning in Elk Grove Village, IL and going to MO for a drop. Hooking there and going to GA for Tuesday. Both are pretty much as soon as I get there but have to slow down since I'm low on my 70.


I'm really amazed with ACT, I actually get preplans ahead of time...much ahead of time.

 

Shawn... but I spoke to Mike this weekend and also Lance a couple times last week. Whoever is available, haven't really dealt with Mark. Seems that if I keep doing the check call, I really don't even talk to the dispatcher, just for the confirmations.

 

Drove all night, dropped the load in Newnan, GA, got some sleep and headed to Lawrenceville GA for pickup and delivery in the a.m. In Memphis.




Defintaly a plus for ACT when you have pre-plans waiting for you and don't have to call and call and wait for loads (SNI).

 

I just saw you're on that Bloomfield Mo. (purina) to Newnan Ga. (petsmart) - Just did that one yesterday. It sucked!!! Was suppose to pickup monday at noon - called the day before and they said it should be ready by 9am - I got there the night before since I was dropping a load there from IL. So I call shipping at about 730am just to let them know I'm already here, well there's already two other act drivers there so she just tells me to get in line. In the next two hours three more act's show up and about four other companies. All said and done I left there at 1830. They also had to reload me three times since I was over weight. Make sure you have a $5 bill with you for the scale. It was a 78k load but everything was up front so I was over 4k the first time and they kept moving a few pellets at a time and then (the third time) the finally decided to redo the whole load. Overall this load sucked. Newnan is interesting also...


Have fun
