    Is your carrier doing anything for YOU due to the virus?

    My carrier sent me a letter to present to law enforcement and other authoritarian types: Verification of Essential Critical Infrastructure Worker/Essential Business & Activity Status. How cool is that! All this time I thought I was just some insignificant, schmuck van driver.

    Is your carrier doing anything for YOU due to the virus?

    The bonuses I have been getting aren't just given to me. I have to ask and in some cases do a little negotiating. The money is there, in the load, if it wasn't I would not be getting anything extra. When asking for and receiving a bonus, it helps my bargaining position to be the only van...

    What is a food grade Sprinter?

    Did you have any reefers set up for swinging? I never hauled swinging but did hook to an empty once that didn't get washed. Hooks scattered all over the floor along with chunks of meat and fat. Blood on the floor and walls. What a mess!

    Tuesday I got a 576 mile load with a $100 bonus that turned into 682 mile load because 52 miles out from the shipper I got called back because they loaded me with the wrong freight. I also got $50 for the extra stop.

    Exactly! Trump is a threat to the Washington establishment and the Democrats. Jesus was a threat to the Roman establishment and the Jews. Both these heretics needed to be dealt with using extreme measures. Both deserve (deserved) a painful death.

    The Trump Card...

    I can see Biden bowing out due to a health issue just before the convention or even shortly after he is nominated. This would open the door for someone like Cuomo to step in.

    Virus

    I hauled this crate of rigging to a wind farm in Kansas. This load didn't seem to be affected by the virus. Nary a cough, sneeze or wheeze the whole 544 mile trip. .

    Is your carrier doing anything for YOU due to the virus?

    I got a call from dispatch last night for a load picking up Monday morning. The dispatcher was working from home and warned me that her side of the call would cut out while she did her dispatch thing but the connection would not be broken. I had to do some price negotiating and there were more...
