New 680 has new truck, and new parking skills ( none ) just says F it, parks in driveway.

What he doesn't know is there's three oversize with escorts getting fuel.

LMFAO

This should be interesting.

Well they made it. This other dude with some skills Cascadia/Reefer got in one of the holes.

Landstar mid roof with like the very first 9400 they ever made has parked in the other driveway. Pulling van.

So had a belt let go yesterday (didn't see any signs of damage prior to failure) and it decided to wrap around the fan shaft. While waiting for repairs we are in a substitute. After 1 day driving and riding in this International I can't understand why anyone would purchase 1. I'd rather cut my equipment off with a dull butter knife while applying liberal amounts of salt and cayenne than have this piece of trash.

This man outlines his dislikes very plainly, shows strength.

Just kinda the way it should be.

Well.

Fell for it again, every time I come to Louisiana, sitting at this worthless Petro in Eagan LA, 8 miles from delivery in the morning, other load “had to be loaded today!!!” After they asked if I could pick it up at the same place I unload in the morning, going to Emporia Ks, with a reload picking up in ST Joe, going 20 miles from my home town.

So, they just told me that load was picked up, but we got a load of rough rice at some guys bins out in middle of nowhere Louisiana, I’ve got coordinates too.
Which pays $1200 less, Cause it’s going back to Stuttgart, but you DH 170 miles N, to take the load N.
Plus lost the other $1225 load back home.
I’m not sure I wanna come to Louisiana again for this guy, I forgot, this happened last year when I did this run.

Little wirebound pocket notebook. Any color. Keep a list of names. Snug rubber band around to keep closed.
Does wonders for the stress level and increases income over time. Sometimes use two lines, jot remarks below.
Something to;RELISH, immediately after they need something again.

Typical chest beater zooming through this Peelot, and it's really crowded and busy, but just floors it and zooming around cause he had to wait like 2 minutes for this other dude to park.

Now Supah G bed bugger is on his third attempt, and has no clue how to back.

The OM is going to ask him if he typically uses his entire 14 trying to back into a spot.

A friend of mine drives for PAM and the skills are so bad now they're telling their drivers to find pull through spots at truck stops and if they can't find one then park nose in, they're not even pretending to employ professional drivers anymore. He showed me that fleet message on his transflo app cuz I didn't believe him at first.
