West coast freight..is it that bad?

So how can you pass me by if your sitting?

 

Our company keeps us moving from the west coast. Typically as soon as we deliver, they have something for us to pick up immediately.

 

I have not noticed any of this and I live in the west, if your company is having a hard time im guessing it has more to do with them then the freight.

 

Problem is you're hauling the same thing everyone else is hauling. Get in a specialized market, and you will have freight waiting for you when you get there.

 

Then you don't have to call people for freight, they call you!
When can you pick this up?

 

Same here. The only time I had to park at the Ontario truck stops was when I loaded and couldn't scale out on the California setting and had to get reworked the next day. Usually we are in and out.

Lot of freight that moves from Los Angeles to El Paso. It's a way out at least.

 

Not all companies get stuck on the West Coast or in Florida.
I ran OTR pulling reefers for years and never was stuck in California or Florida.
You're driving for the wrong company; a mega-mega-mega carrier.

 

Reefers can always grab a produce load. Dry vans have to be a bit more crafty.

Munoz once had me pick up half a load of freeze and eat popsicles from San Bernardino and dry milk from Phoenix going to Economy Cash and Carry in El Paso, which is one of our regular customers.
