Snackbar's new adventure at Moore Freight Services

Neither does Central Oregon (COTC)(as in, they don't have PC)

 

Got another all case load of glass on a Moore flatbed. Must be case season. Headed to ''Amarillo by mornin"

 

And the chipping away at our PC usage begins. We got a message from safety saying that PC can no longer be used by drivers who are returning from home back to a plant(after dropping any trailer at the yard to go home for hometime) if they are dispatched on their next load. They claim that even bobtailing back constitutes advancing the load, which is a total crock. If they haven't connected, inspected or reported for duty...how can bobtailing back from home be on duty time(unless they are reporting to a different location than where they were last on duty - which use to be the way the DOT wanted it to be before the latest PC rule change). While this won't affect me since I am always doing hometime enroute from a delivery, and I am hundreds of miles from any plant, there are plenty of drivers who live close to one of the plants that this will be a problem for. What's next, outlawing PC if I am sitting at a yard and dispatched on a load that I don't need to start doing anything to until morning...I can feel the PC 'frog soup' starting to cook now.

 

If your company paid a little better, I'd apply tomorrow!!!

 

There was a MavIC driver there pulling a double when I unloaded Sunday. I see at least 1 or 2 every time I deliver there. I see about as many Schneider/Viracon dedicated trucks as I do Maverick. Maybe they started running more of their own freight. They have had me running out of Laurinburg more lately, so I don't get to see how many loads to Owatonna are in Spring Hill's box as often as I use to.
