Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

I’m not trying to pick a fight. I had it, and it put my dick in the dirt. Actually had it 4 times now. The last time was a few weeks ago. It wasn’t much. But the first one was a mfer. Even left me with some long term side effects.


But, there were lots of people who used it to enrich themselves. And I wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire.

 

It actually was a load where someone would have needed to run 500 mi a day to get it there on time…they probably are having a tough time finding many who can do that

 

That’s another good one.

 

The issue with these drivers not wanting to run 500 miles a day is not just a singular company problem but it’s an industry wide problem and frankly a society problem with so many people not wanting to work…

For example, a few weeks ago, I delivered to restaurant Depot in Houston And Marten transport had the dedicated, and those drivers worked Monday through Friday.

They did round-trip loads from the Houston DC to South Texas and back OKC and back Tulsa and back in Baton Rouge, New Orleans and back, and the driver admitted that he and many others on that account would not run more than 1200 miles a week because they did not wanna run more than what the guaranteed minimum pay that Marten paid and therefore they were losing a contract… basically that account you could easily do 2500 miles a week and be off every single weekend for 48 hours

Basically working three days a week is all these guys wanted to work… This problem is getting worse by the week in my opinion and like I said it’s not just this industry. It’s a society wide problem

 

Since coming back from Home on the 18th with Crete
Pick up Friday Deliver Sum Morn 919 miles

pick up Sunday Deliver Sunday 490 miles

picked up today delivers tomorrow 364 miles
Average 443 miles a day ,and I want 5-600

 

Got a short run out of dfw area to the houston area out of the house then a run from houston area to hermiston or…starting off hot again…almost 2600mi in the first 5 days out of the house..
