Snackbar's new adventure at Moore Freight Services

Not really sure.

 

Unload went fine. Found out that the customer is expecting 11 loads that unload at 1 receiving dock whos crane overlaps the production crane so production has to stop while unloading takes place. So, they were anxious to get as many loads unloaded on Saturday when the production department wasn't working. 3 of us unloaded by 12:30...now I am headed off to Laurinburg, along with many others.

One of the drivers unloading ahead of me said that the rumor is, the former boss at Moore (after the Daseke buyout) has another company to run (not sure if he started it or just hired on), but the rumor is that they have gotten in at Laurinburg, and as of the 28th of this month, Maverick is suppose to be all but out of there. I'll believe it when I see it. I was told he, years ago, was the one who bit off more than Moore could chew and contracted as many loads as Pilkington could give them, then couldn't provide enough equipment to keep up and pissed off Pilkington. We shall see, he ran Moore into the ground, maybe he'll take out another company and reduce the competition.

 

To my fellow Wylie glass haulers that might glance thru this thread...I just pulled enough trash out of this trailer to fill a kitchen garbage bag...but will I rat out the previous drivers and tell management? Simple answer here HECK NO!!! Because it's our ummmm, what's the word I am searching for...oh yea it's our JOB. Don't call management, piss and moan about nasty trailers...just clean it out, it took me 5 minutes. So, for the door slammers that follow along, your fellow company drivers aren't the only lazy arses that leave the trashed trailers for the next driver, it happens in open deck (conestogas) too.

 

Sounds like some of the empty trailers I would hook to at a Wally D/C when I worked for Crete...I swear that company's D/C workers unload like they're having a pallet trashing contest
