first of all dont call me names, that can get you hurt and second i call it as i see it so if you dont like it dont read my posts! -
(lol) -
that is too funny, some of these places are crazy with the shingles, they want them tarped so they dont get wet. now i can understand this if they are the paper wrapped shingles but when they are in plastic and the pallet is wrapped in plastic, well thats just crazy. well all i can say is thats alot of work i hope you are not on miles because it is a rough to make money on that short of a trip -
I'm on miles unless I do 8 or more short loads, then I get paid 2800 to make up for it.
The shingles were all plastic wrapped sitting on concrete, tarped, at a pre-approved location. As soon as they were all set up out there, the inspector guy came out and said oh wait, this won't work, they have to be in a climate controlled warehouse or we won't pay for it. So the company hired us and two other trucks to move them on their dime to a place up the road. That place happened to be 18 miles from my house so it made for a nice week. 5 loads a day and home for the night. My log looked like a seismograph. Finished on Thursday and capped the week off with a run up to Chicago where I offloaded and reloaded at the same place and did a short hop to Michigan. Nice and cool up there. -
well thats not a bad deal, lol have to keep the shingles cool woould not want them to get too hot. what ####### oh well its their money, and makes us money

Any O/O Will tell you that. -
I don't see anything here to indicate that CPL thinks he "knows it all", in fact most of what he said was true they do tell you that 5 loads per week should be your goal, (We all know it's actually your revenue) BUT they still tell you 5 loads a week if your regional.
He also indicated that he's rarely "lucky enough" to get the multi day loads and then you prodded him implying that he was stupid for running 5 loads a week as if it was his choice, obviously his fleet manager doesn't give him load options like some of ours do/did.
Also, don't think i saw him crying. Most of his posts are pretty biased. He's never once said that TMC was a bad company, or really complained in a whiny sort of way.
