Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

It's how the customer orders it - one PO, one load. It's dumber than heck from our perspective, but it has the ability to be logical given the necessary circumstances.

PO 1 is issued on Day 1 for delivery by Day 15, paid for on a net 30 from unloading or 'deliver by date', whichever is earlier. PO 2 is issued on Day 5 for delivery by Day 20, paid for on a net 30 from unloading.

PO 1 and PO 2 both get loaded on Day 7 and deliver on Day 9. Consignee unloads PO 1 on Day 10, which starts the net 30 clock. Consignee doesn't unload PO 2 until Day 19 which allows them 9 more days to pay for the second PO despite having access to the product earlier.

More likely is PO 1 went in and a shipment was created, then PO 2 comes in and it's easier to create a new shipment than it is to modify the first shipment.

 

I agree with you that it's unlikely these will be going to a Walmart dedicated, Walmart regularly uses Schneider dry vans for store deliveries. It's a PITA because we have to back into the door for the manager to break the seal, then pull out, open the doors and back back in. In the time it takes to walk outside, pull up, open the doors, back in again, and get let back in the guy unloading has been sent to do something else. Then when we return to the DC we get sniped at for using the WM lane.

 

Thank you,now I know.

 

This can't be accurate can it freight really that slow?

 

June was my best month since December at about 11k,and that was with I think the first 5days off, July I have about 4k but that's less than 2weeks. I've been home since Tuesday.

 

That's not bad, ar Shaffer I was taught by veteran drivers that look at yiur quarterly as long as you're hitting the bonus just shy of 29k for the quarter but obviously 30k - 36k+ is the goal... not sure what happened with that driver 21 years tells me he's capped out on cpm... Shaffer otr drivers I speak with are seeing 2500 to 2900+ so they say maybe roughly a 200 a week dip but nowhere near what that driver posted on the fb forum...

 

#### you guys are true long haul that's the way it should be for otr sacrifice!

 

Yeah, this year hasn't been great overall, but first quarter was ok. April and may were not good though, but I had 2 weeks off in April, went out for a week, then off again for a week, then back out for about 3 weeks. That week off in the middle wasn't planned, was dealing with some medical issues. Though a couple weeks that I was running I got less than 2k miles. June I had one week that was less than 2k, but ended up being an okish check between stop pay and detention. Then the next load was a California to Georgia run that delivered on Tuesday.

 

Just hit 370,000 miles in this truck,and the only time it’s been towed was for a bad DEF filter.Feel like I’m driving a ticking time bomb.
