Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

I just like to follow this thread so I don't think so poorly of my door-swinging company. And some days I have to really try.

Would be more obnoxious if it was a carrier unit I find the carrier ones to be louder. Then yet again most of my reefer experience has been with carrier units.

The older Carrier units we have, yes. But the newer ones are fairly quiet... they're so much quieter, that the new TK's seem louder.

A lot of times while under a load,I’ll check my messages on the Peoplenet app,so it won’t show them I read them.
If I don’t like what I see,then I don’t respond until I’m empty.

Anybody wanna see my new bodywork c/o a Schuster driver?

Dude was watching his passenger side making sure he wasn't hitting that guy, and looked back at me just as I was hitting the horn and hearing the scraping and crunching...no real damage, just folded my mirrors in, scraped the crap out of the plastic mirror housing and scraped the crap out of my passenger fender and a small scrape on turn signal lense

At least it’s only one phone call. Cuts out a lot of the red tape.

Looks like that professional had all the room in the world too. At least he didn’t hit you going down the freeway.

I would like to thank you for getting Karma's attention...my A/M pissed me off so bad today, if I were in Lincoln, I would've not only lost my job, but my freedom as well because I would have thrown him out a window. Finally found an empty at A-whole-grocers in KC. Told him before I left the KC yard, when I couldn't take the damaged trailer, that I wouldn't make either the PU or Del appointments. When I finally got to AWG, picked up the trailer and blew the pallet scraps out of it, I updated my eta to the shipper. Got to the shipper, got a door assignment and, because I was 90 min late, I was a work-in. Told them I would update them as to an eta to del once I was loaded. 30 min later I get 2 preplans.(something I told him not to do because no matter what order I reply to them-with trip numbers on the canned message, he screwes them up)...so I type, in plain, easy to understand english, that I will do it this way, so there is no mistake or misunderstanding, Trip number xxxxxxx, yes pta xx/xx/xx...trip number yyyyyyy, no, reason- not sure when I will be delivering current load due to loading delay, not sure I could make delivery within my 14... The 'yes' load was a load off the Joliet yard going to UT for Friday. The 'no' load was a short #### load, that delivered at 4 pm tomorrow...and I was in MO at 4pm today, still not even started being loaded, and this delivers north of Romeoville sometime tomorrow once an appointment has been rescheduled...most likely will have to start my day as early as my logbook allows in order to make it to delivery...and making a 4 pm live unload of a short run impossible. Around an hour later, I ask about an update on the new appointment on this load, and inform him that the short run is absolutely impossible at this point...he reply's fine, I'll ask them to remove you from preplanns...NOOOOO, I said I could do the UT load, just can't do the other because it's beyond my 14...and I got no update on my current load's delivery time. I then went ballistic on numnutz, telling him to give me back the UT load and then I proceed to go off some more about his ability to do his job, and even his ability to comprehend the english language...then I get a preplan to MD, that has to be there Weds...BOOOOOM, this is when I exploded. I then get a message from the next shift...after F'g me out of a $900 run, and putting me on a load he knows I cannot legally do, the f-tard went home....my patience with this moron is gone...and I am calling Deland in the morning and asking to be removed from his board, switched to Crete, or ask them how many cuss words on the Peoplenet I can get away with before I get fired, because he only got the message when I was pissed and was going off on him via the #####box.

Exactly why I will never deal with load planners/dispatchers/driver managers again.

I think it adds character, plus now your truck will be easier to find.
