    I really wonder if it’s just these dedicated accounts when people come into help out when you’re helping out they just give the scraps you got a wonder if the full-time account drivers are the ones getting the good loads I would believe that to be the case…

    That's what happened the last time I was here "helping out" at the Cheyenne DC while my truck was at Freightliner for 9 days.

    A load is a load and they all got to get covered. I work at a DC and it's funny some drivers whine about one load or the other. They're all the same. Flow thru drivers that don't work here complain about a short run. But they're all short. Some shorter than others but really not a huge margin there. I'd bet the farm no-one is getting picked for whatever loads over somebody else just because they're not a regular on it. The loads get put together and go out on whatever driver is available as available.

    The drivers who typically fill-in at the Walmart accounts over here specially Cheyenne are pretty much 99% of the time doing nothing but Cheyenne to Denver running around Denver all day long coming back to Cheyenne then the next day doing that all over again they’re running about 250 to 300 miles a day… That’s not any money specially when you’re dealing with Denver BS

    And if your truck is at the dealer, you get to do it in a daycab, which means you sleep in a hotel and pray that you don't burn up your hours in traffic and can't make it back to where your clothes are.

    I've done Cheyenne a couple times. And did alright. Not great, but ok. Was kinda interesting doing some of the backroads in the rockies. Heard north platte is decent, Paul's valley and Mankato are supposed to be kinda meh though.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    Tell them to get new weekend ops people too. I can't get anyone to even respond to me about me getting a load after that last load foulup. 2 out of 3 weekends since I returned and a Friday load issue results in me sitting most of the weekend
