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

I hate to tell you but I seen one just today that wasn’t even swept out must less washed. Sometimes there is one that’s washed but most aren’t. I’m talking about Shaffer trailers. I move them on the yard.

 

I was looking at the pay structure on Cretes website. For the three cents extra that you get for reefer versus dry van is it really worth it?

The hassles that come with reefer in my experience years ago, certainly would need more compensation than 3 pennies per mile.

Trailer washout, lumpers, filling the fuel tank, unexpected maintenance/breakdown on the reefer, unpaid out of route miles to get a washout, rejected loads, gelled up trailer fuel and the list goes on...

Time is money, especially for a truck owner. All this extra stuff should be compensated.

If you sit in line for 3 hours waiting for a washout, why should you not be reimbursed not only for time, but for the fuel you burned sitting with the truck idling to stay comfortable?

 

I didn’t write that correct. These are dropped trailers to be loaded. I put in an empty today that was not washed nor even swept. The last driver didn’t do anything when they got unloaded from I don’t know where but drop it in the yard. I’m saying most drivers aren’t washing out trailers that we get anyway.

 

Are lightsabers legal if someone might want to chop someone in half. Not saying I want to.......but, if I did happen to need to....
Question #2... how far from a highway might someone need to bury two halves of a body....and how deep.
Just curious.....

 

Is lime an effective odor killer for like, oh, I don't know...bodies and stuff like that??
