Well, I have read all the latest comments on the wait times and the slow freight and the other bickering. Turtles problem and all the 2 skid, 3 skid controversy. First of all for all of it except turtles deal cause he got that figured out, come on. Really everybody. Most of you have been doing this long enough that you have no reason to gripe. You know how this business is and you choose to keep doing it. Freight is slow and has recovered even slower the in past years. Only so much can be done. If companies are not shipping then there are no loads or a reduced amount. That means more trucks setting around and more bidding on the same loads. You all know this so stop all your griping and take it for what it is and get through it. Dispatch is trying to get loads and calling and bugging doesnt produce them. They aren't going to put you on hold and step into the hall and crap you one. Anyway, enough on that.
As far as all the other things, well some of that is silly also. We are not teenagers.
We all have the rite to run our business the way we see fit. However, one would think you would want to do it in a respectable manner and with some integrity. Maybe even with some sense of rite and wrong. Not going to touch on the dispatch office thing cause I dont know as I go there and take care of what I need to and leave. Occasionally I will walk up just to say hi but it a walk through and gone. They're working people.
Well thats my 2 on it and its about shower time then breakfast then off to the show. While you are setting waiting on your load today and racking up dwell time and layover pay think about what seperates us from the rest and remember we are all Load One.
