    Dynamic Transit is too much of a pay cut to start

    I figure you could do 85-100k a year at dynamic

    TP trucking out of Central Point, Oregon. Haul conestogas. Run 680’s. Unfortunately I think they are autos. But they have a plywood or veneer plant in Mississippi as well

    Yep, but I am pretty sure they know what equipment is available when they say it's a drop/hook then less than an hour it suddenly isn't...what, UFO's suddenly beamed it up? Someone stole it off a secured facility? They knew, they just didn't want to tell me that I was doing another live load at a Tyson facility (which I have grown to hate...by that I mean Tyson facilities, not live loads)

    Fun times today. Drove through whiteout conditions with 50+ mph crosswinds. Always fun when you see the vehicle up ahead disappear into a black void :eek:

    Also this load im on...no one knows what's going on. Trlr and pu match load info but what was loaded on it...no one knows. Temp and destination on bills different from load info and dispatch says to just head to my destination on the peoplenet and if it's wrong head to bills destination. Ok...but wont I need a apt for bills location...they had no answer...

    Funny thing this load was to be delivered on the 12th, by what the bills say. JBS also includes a trailer inspection form with the bills and someone picked up the load but returned it. Notes say driver was removed from load.

    Person returned load at the correct temp to my load info but I guess it was reloaded with another load?

    Cant wait to get to the customer in San Francisco in the afternoon on Monday, and hand them bills for another location.

    Oh the bills location is just 70 miles away in Oakland at Cool Port. Wonder where I'll park if 1st place rejects me and 2nd needs an appointment..
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    Sounds like a typical Friday for me.(minus the weather)





    Actually, to be in my world, either the trailer or your truck will have to break down in the most inconvenient location imaginable.

    Don't jinx me! I think I can hear air leaking from my break chamber already!? :eek::eek:

    Will just call operations on Monday before I start my drive to my first destination and see what they say. Really don't want to make my way through San Francisco and Oakland 5pm traffic just to be told to go away.
