Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

Ya know, I can understand your frustration with having to wait. Buuuttt......

That's life

 

Crete won't let him jump ship / leave...until the truck is paid off ...but I could be mistaken

 

I sat behind this for 2hrs last night and had to do a u-turn on the interstate at the direction of state troopers Guilford County deputies investigating shooting on party bus, multiple injuries reported | myfox8.com
Is this the appropriate place to complain?
I bet the folks that got shot wish their biggest problem was waiting for a washout

 

I thought Bob financed that truck on his own and can take it anywhere he chooses.

 

Indeed you do, sir. And we all have met that 'special' guy that won't turn the key for less than $4 a mile. My life is complete.

 

That's chump change to the Truckers report Central Point, Oregon short haul crew!!! C'MON!!!

 

I’ve never bragged about how much I make. Frankly the guys running spot market are posting numbers that shadow mine right now and I’ve said that numerous times here. I do what I do because it’s consistent both in the amount of work and the pay. I don’t want to ride that roller coaster. But to suggest there’s no margin for weekly truck washes is foolish in my opinion because it’s not doing harm to me and my operation.

When I met with the guy about pulling food grade one of the first things he wanted to see was a picture of my truck. Image helps in some segments, like when a guy is turning you loose with a polished and Alumacleared trailer that he just paid $100k for.

Now hauling feed ingredients I’ve seen guys with scurvy trucks be turned away from loading without a washout ticket while I pull in with a clean truck and get loaded after I tell them I swept out. If the outside is dirty they naturally assume the inside of your trailer is a mess too.

You guys have a good weekend, I have to blow my radiator and air to air out and then run up and get my truck rinsed off again.

 

A reefer driver without a cordless leafblower is kinda like Luke Skywalker without a lightsaber am I right? Lol
