Truck Wash Insanity

Get away from the mega carrier ASAP. Your life and job will get so much easier.

 

3500 miles a week? Sounds like a winner to me

 

That's another reason I just don't miss messing with a refer.

Part two of the story is driving across Dallas, finding one, it's thrashed, driving back across through traffic, to find the line at Blue Beacon out to the street, then finally driving back across again 5 hours later with a clean refer.

 

Next time try this.

 

I smoked some refer in college but I did not inhale.

 

Sweep it out . Buy a receipt book . Tell them you found a local to do it with a mobile power washer . Write in a PO Box as the address and provide your wife’s number ., ‘ Triple A Truck Wash Answering Service. Oh, sorry , Bob left this morning on a long overdue vacation , can I take a message ?’

 

Who says you can’t have both. I’m doing that too but I don’t deal with messed up shipper accounts and demands and the BS of trashed trailers left by prior uncaring drivers, and less-than-great spec’d trucks, and the politics found in every huge carrier. But we all have to abuse ourselves in the beginning, I suppose. I did my time at a mega but I’m glad it’s behind me.

 

11 picks in three days with no sleep because you’re waiting on a phone call for a door that you have to engage in hand to hand combat with other drivers who are in your way to get backed into , after standing in line for two hours to check in at every shipper , sleeping on the streets of the Salinas valley because the truck stops are full , waiting 11 hours for a pallet of lettuce, then speeding for three days to make it 2500 miles for a 4 am delivery to a state that tickets you for being unable to find parking for your delivery isn’t your idea of living the dream buddy ?
