Snackbar's new adventure at Moore Freight Services

I think you’ll find it’s much better once you get use to the fact it’s no longer Moore.
Takeovers sucks, been through a few of them..

 

I have never had any issues with them. asking a truck driver to whine is easy, just ask them. Lol

 

Lol. And what exactly did he think you were doing with them before?

 

Run a load do a 34?

Hey that's my schedule lately.

It seems that way to me too most of the time and my company didn't even get bought out (yet).

I think that ever since this company decided to pay minimum pay to everybody it hurts the drivers that stay out for months because loads are always required for drivers coming off hometime with 0 miles for the week.

I actually know that this is true because everytime I go home now I always get a 1000+ mile load starting out but then never get another one for weeks but always after hometime. I start out on Tuesday after hometime and despite this I still usually have a better first week than second because of the load I get to start has good miles and everything after it sucks.

 

The only reason they'd need more drivers is because they have empty trucks because a lot of the drivers have quit, the miles are garbage lately.

I left home before January started and I'm averaging about 1600 miles a week. Sat idling for 2 of the past 3 weekends because there wasn't a load in Church Hill or Geneva or Carlisle or Laurinburg or Rossford. I was probably too far away to get a load anywhere else.

We don't get anything like layover pay so if we sit around for days at Laurinburg it's 100% on us. One time I got to Laurinburg, sat 3 days waiting for a load then my FM and the head glass division guy started calling me because I didn't get a truck wash in 3 weeks (but I was on hometime for 2 of the weeks). I told them if I got a load and got the hell out of there I'd get the truck washed if there was a truck wash on my route but I wasn't going to drive 100 miles round-trip just so they'd feel that my truck was going to be any cleaner while sitting waiting for a load in their mud lot.

 

I'd have been real quick to message right back to that op manager that I ain't the one wasting hours.

Sheesh, honestly, wtf do they think we do out here?
