Van Wyk Inc.

Yeah I hear ya on the broker loads I just went solo two weeks ago and I have had some of those loads..., I won't mention the main company but it rhymes with snailex It is not that I hate those loads..., but they are a pain in the ###!!!

 

Even though I am a rookie driver and know no differance in companies, etc. I am enjoying this job and and working for the company. I just need to figure out how to squeeze the hours. I drive my butt off and still find, at times that I makes it to my drop points with only minutes to spare. Hell, I had to get dispatch, to get a driver to come bail me out just this week, because I could only make it within 50 miles of the drop before Qualcomm started screaming "Violation, Violation".

With the fuel stops, trailer washouts, and... well hell.... I have to eat and use the head..., it makes it a tight schedule. However, I am learning real quick on what routes are better than others. I agree with "Mattaponi Guard" about the winter months, that are approaching quickly, not looking forward to driving in the snow

 

I am in Truck 652 outta Waynesboro. I have a busted Windshield (driver side). So I will loose a day. I can not get the windshield replaced till Monday morning.

 

How is it going at VanWyk? I'm considering giving them a call.

 

I have no complaints. We are all running hard so loads are not an issue. Give them a call. Good luck to ya. They try really hard to get us home after 5 to 6 days out.

 

Hey Referdriver how did you trip to Chicago go?? And as far as those ######## "Railex" goes.. yeah screw them.. I hate them chumps, especially the fat ####### that works behind the counter.. only reason why i halfway like that place is that its next to a busy railroad and i actually like watching freight trains go by...

And i've yet to deal with Lancaster foods but it beats coming out that #### Salt Plant in the Middle of New York going to Delaware... Boys trust me, as much as its a pain at time to work with our dispatchers we are fairly blessed.. it could be alot worse..trust me!!

 

It went well. Got the load there. A little late, but it got there. I have not hauled any lancaster loads yet. I did have a Salt load from NJ, Piscataway, NJ (to be exact) to Mt. Crawford. Not a bad load.

As for being blessed, I agree, I have talked to many other drivers from other companies...., So, let's just say "I am Happy were I am!"

Hey..., I heard a rumor that there are 14 open trucks in Sheldon..., That is all I heard...., is the company buying new trucks? I also heard we are going to all KW's (T-700's)..., anyone heard if that is true??

Ya'll be safe out there.
