Waiting to deliver in Columbia, MO

DollarSign · Jun 23, 2016

Here picking up at a hotel convention center. Once loaded I'll be heading north.

Note to self: get in the habit of always asking what a load pays before saying yes to it. Smh!

Note to dispatch: Don't make us have to claw pertinent information out of you. In the same breath it takes you to tell us the city it picks up in and the city it delivers to, and when, along with the deadhead and loaded miles, you can tell us what it pays, since you know that, too.

Heading to the airport to head back north. Looks like a pretty busy day.

Windsor · Jun 24, 2016

Had a bad 24 hrs. Driving through Mississippi yesterday evening and it's like 95° and noticed the AC coming out of my vents was no longer cold. Then I woke up this morning soaked in sweat and realized the air coming out of my rooftop AC was no longer cold either. Not sure what the chances are of having both sources of my AC go out in less then 12 hrs but they did. Can't catch a break!

When you say"busy day" are you talking about expedite, company wide or you personally?
We were in the yard all day yesterday and it was definitely not a busy day for us.

We'll never is every area or division busy at once. But I look at load count, avg empty and available time per unit and revenue as daily metrics.

It's like a baseball team having 9 runs on 15 hits. Busy day, but 10 pitchers never even got up in the pen and there are still 5 guys on the bench who haven't even pinch hit.

jelliott · Jun 25, 2016

Exactly. A lot of ways to look or judge the metrics....none tells the whole story.

That makes sense, however not to be an azz. Since this is an expeditors forum and most if this forums posters are either sprinter or straight truck owners/drivers, shouldn't any buisness information relate to our division?

Its frustrating to read posts from other known expeditors and read posts of issues like lengthy layovers, freight slowdowns and such only to be told of things that aren't effecting us.

This is after all where we exchange information that is hopefully helpful to other expeditors or glean information that helps us make decisions on load locations, area issues and the like.

Just my 2 cents

I'm very happy that load ones other divisions are doing so well!
