|
|
| we have a new haul, we deliver a load from Georgia to a customer in Indianan, then go 3.7 miles to a sausage plant, load up fat and go back the 3.7 miles to the same customer, that load pays a minimum of 4 hours to the truck at 60 bucks an hour plus $27.00 fuel surcharge, so it's $267.00 minimum for going 7.4 miles.. thats about 36 bucks a mile.. we are supposed to start doing one everyday.. I did 4 last week.. anything over 4 hours pays another 60 bucks an hour, its a real pain getting in and out, because you have to drive through the employee parking lot to get in and out, but for that kind of money, I guess it's worth it. |

we have 2 owner operators who want nothing to do with this load because it's so hard to get in and out, seems to me they would jump at the chance to go 8 miles for 267.00.. a couple gallons of fuel, no real wear and tear on your truck, but they dont want to have to navigate the parking lot, I just dont get it.. |

Here's some pics of what you have to deal with, a real pain, but I still think it's worth it

| Sort of looks like about half the places I go into now. You don't have the market cornered on them. |

the worst thing here is the streets are all one way, you have to weigh in, then go around the block and maneuver into the loading spot, then go around the block and weigh out, then go around the block again to get back on the highway.
by the way, it's a sausage factory, the guy said they use 10,000 pigs a day, that's a lot of pork!!!!!! |
