    Seems now they’re beginning to backtrack on detention pay from what has been the norm…basically trying to not pay any of it

    I guess they found a way for loads to average more than 300 miles a day

    And we must have had an increase in backing accidents...2 days in a row they sent out safety messages to G.O.A.L.

    Those are brand new reefers. They’re sending out across the country to position them at customers.. that looks like Wyoming is that train headed east or west?

    a friend of mine over here pick the new trailer recently at Clearfield Utah utility trailer and he said we had multiple rows of brand new reefers ready for pick up so that’s probably what they’re doing getting them out of there and sending them out to customers so we have more trailers available

    East. Wouldn't it be cheaper to have driver's pick them up, put a load on, then move them east? Hell, we need more empties at west coast customers, move the VA reefers to the eastern customers that need empties and keep the weatern trailers out there.
     
    Lonesome, navypoppop and MACK E-6 Thank this.

    They mentioned in last weeks propaganda video that we're getting 250 brand new reefers this year. They could have had me drop this one at the yard and then pick up a undamaged one to reload going east.
     
    navypoppop Thanks this.

    That’s how my outfit releases new trailers into the system.
