Lease Operator with Anderson Trucking Service (ATS)

Yeah, I read that wrong. I cannot tell you what NYC pay is, I have not delivered into NYC. Each load will pay differently, whatever contract was negociated. O/O and L/O who are treated exactly the same would get 65% of that. OD loads going into NYC pay quite well, this is on top of your mileage, FSC, tarp fees. I ran with one driver who made $500.00 for about 15 minutes work on an OD load. I know that isn't, exactly, what you are asking, sorry I couldn't be more help. Maybe in a couple of month after I have done a few I might be able to give you a better idea.

[terrylamar]

Well, here I sit at the Flying J in Matthews, MO. They keep offering me the same load, picking up from Memphis, TN and delivering to Marissa, IL. Short miles, but just over into the next pay scale. 415 miles @ $1.07 load pay $444.05. FSC $56.70. Tarp $150.

Total $650.75

I would have to sit all weekend, on the other hand I could be sitting here all weekend with a load.

I am sitting in MO today too. Earth City to be exact. Started loading @07:00 this morning and still have a couple hours to go. Rediculous!!!! Only good thing is it goes to Chandler, AZ. for Monday morning.
This just confirms on how much I hate minorites work ethics. They drag their ass all day then at 5:00 they will bust their ass so they can hit the bar, and I can fight all the traffic.

Something you might think about...on that type of an offer. It positions you in an area with better freight .... so better offers, behind it.

I do think about those things, but it is so close to where I am right now, I would be getting the same load offers.

I have been holding out all day for a weekend run. Looked hopeless. I jumped on a load offer from Menomonee Falls, WI to Milford, UT. I have to stop by our yard in Gary, IN to pick up a trailer. This will be my first time pulling a RGN.

I wanted to get out of the North East where I was for the last few days and all the load offers last night and today were taking me back to the the Northeast, so I jumped all over a load to UT. I was resigned to loose money sitting over the weekend, because the load doesn't pick up until Monday morning and delivers Thursday.

I called the shipper, anyway, and they will take me Saturday morning at 0700, and thanked me for being early and the consignee will take me whenever I get there. So, I went from loosing money sitting all weekend to making money, able to load next week and get out West. Now life will be complete if I can only find a Starbucks Coffee on the way.

[terrylamar]

I was on the way to pick up the RGN when I received a qualcomm message that the load was cancelled. Very disappointing. I ended up continuing to Mt. Vernon, IL. Now I have no load for the weekend, a slim possibility I might get a load tomorrow, picking up on Monday. I wouldn't get lay over pay if that happens before noon. Plus now I will not get my 34 hour restart.

Maybe on Monday I'll find out what happened.

[Heavy Duty]

What happened? They found someone closer with a RGN or they brokered it out.

Last time I checked every ethinicity was lazy. Not Just Minorites!!! What kind of statement is that to make. What's wrong with people?

Simular to a situation I was in a few years ago. I has at the port in Houston, we arrived early in the morning and checked in. We waited all day for them to find our load. Everyone was moving slowly. Evidently, they work by the hour. This was on a Friday, payday. At noon I never saw such activity. Everyone was running to get their paycheck. After lunch it was back to the same slow pace. Then, once again, at just before 1700 the pace picked up again. They, absolutly, had to be out of the port by 1700, so did we, loaded or not. They, just happened to find our load, about 20' from where we sat all day.

[jagerbomber3.0]

Yeah, that Houston port needs a big sign out front that says hurry up and wait because we sure aint gonna hurry up and get you out of here.

What? The truth hurts? I must have hit a nerve a little close to home. I agree that every ethnicity is lazy for the most part, but I have alot more trouble with minorities than others. (Unless they are union workers)
Then we are in big trouble.
Let me guess? You must be a minority? Let me give you something else that chaps my *****. This past week I received a letter in the mail concerning the class action lawsuit against WalMart and their discrimination case against black truckers. When I opened the letter the first thing I read was "If you are not black this letter does not pertain to you, please throw away." What for crap is that? Then why even send me the letter? Sorry but I have just had it with all minorities that think "the man" owes them something. Just shut up, do your job, and quit asking for government cheese.

[asdfghjkl]

I work with 2 Jamaicans that are great guys and hard working as well. For someone to say that minorities are lazy is as ignorant as someone saying that truckers are fat, stupid, lazy coked up cowboys.

[DaveP]

I just put on my crazy face...talk about aliens abducting me when I was six nonstop...oh yeah, and touch them a lot when I talk and I usually get loaded and have paperwork in hand inside 2 hours.

Works like a charm.

LMAO!

[solo379]

About "minority's"...don't know, if Chinese counts.
That was quiet some time ago, i was a company driver, and dispatch send me to pick up a load. Supposed to be hand loaded, so he told me;-Call me in a couple hours, let me know, how it's going....
20 minutes later, I've called him;-Joe, I'm all done here, hand loaded, front to rear, top to bottom 53' box...They had nothing, but handcart...

Man, please!!! Let me tell you something about this situation. You're making a complete fool of yourself. Persons are lazy becuase of bad management. Lazy is lazy. It starts from the top of the job chain. That building you're loading @ has supervisors who aren't doing they're job. I find it had to believe that only minorites are lazy. I've been places where the majority takes all day to load me. How do you explain that? I guess you wouldn't call that lazy, just slow right?

The problem is people like you. Your outlook on other ethincity's is negative. You feed into all this BS out here about other races. I understand you fear things you don't know about, that's why you talk so negative about them.

Have you ever thought about how many people have donated kidneys and such to people of different nationalties. I bet you never gave that anythought huh? If you had a young child and they were sick, I bet you wouldn't care where that kidney came from you just want them to get a good kidney. Ponder on that for a min and tell me I am wrong.

People are prdoucts of their enviroment, and you can't blame those who can't process that information and turn it into good. This is why I have no hard feelings toward how ignorant you are. You don't know any better.

Oh yeah, you can never push a button. I understand who and what your about and I don't even know you.
Drivers like you get a hard on when you talk trash on the CB. But in the truck stop you won't even look in the direction of someone. it's ok we all know a coward when we hear them.

First off I have no problem telling you that I am a racist and proud of it. It's not that I don't know any better, or even that I don't understand. I am speaking from lifes' past experiences. That's all. I will give anyone a chance to make a good impression but I am still waiting for one to come from someone like yourself.

Here is a good question for you. Why is it that anytime a minority does something special that want to be recognized as the first ***** person to do that? If they want to be treated equal then why do we have to make a big deal out of it?

Also....I was watching the Price is Right on my day off last week. There was a black lady that won her way on stage to participate in a game. Why couldn't she stand up under her own power? And why is it that after she made such as scene and was able to finally stand, then she couldn't stopp dancing and waving her arms to be noticed even more? Was there some music playing that us white people couldn't hear?

This is what I am talking about. blend in and stop making a scene.

I apologize for hijacking this thread and I will gladly talk with you through PM's. I have nothing to be ashamed of or hide from.

You should take your own advice.
