Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

I'm on set of loads for convoy atm, started this morning at 3am and will be at the delivery for the last load at 5am tomorrow, 26hrs for 2550. I kinda think the whole virus thing needs to stick around.

 

Better get it while it’s hot. Have you seen all the threads of people looking to jump in?

 

I get that message all the time. My performance with them is perfect, and yet 2 weeks ago I lost a bid by $20 on a $4,500 load. I guess another driver had a performance record better than perfect and he got the load. Convoy is just blowing smoke up our butts with that BS performance record. They go for the lowest bid just like everyone else.

 

My first grandchild was born yesterday at 5:45 am in Medford. He came in at 8 pounds, so he's a keeper. The wife is spending some time with them to help out for a few days, and I'm relaxing at home in the heat and smoke from the fires surrounding my area. Ah California, it just doesn't get any better.

 

You know I never hauled one load for Convoy yet.

But my phone has butt dialed them I don't know how many times and booked loads.

I've never done anything for them and I have a bad score with them already, LOL.

 

Well we were able to salvage the week even after they shut down the jobsite for our rock loads. Had to jump back into the spot market . Ended up 5400 on just under 2300 total miles. Not bad for lumber and insulation loads. Hopefully we can put together some good runs next week !

 

Congratulations Grandpa.

 

Thanks. I'm finally getting the title that goes with how my body has felt for the last 15 years.
