Also Headborg I was wondering if you could tell us how the running with Crete loads are helping the drivers at Shaffer. I saw two more out west and noticed quite a few Shaffers trucks with Crete trailers now usually out of the Wilmer yard. It definately has hurt the Crete drivers a bit and some grumbling has started already.

On my last trip to Henderson Nevada I had two Blue Shaffer trucks with Red Crete trailers go by me South on the I 15.

And this week I received yet another letter from the Shaffer recruiter wanting me to go there.....

NO, I just questioned my Fleet Manager about this Bonus Issue-- and seems I missed the Memo stating that it was discontinued with that .03 cent raise.
I was so far in the Red on Safety Points(logs) it took until last December to get into the Black.

So I'll have to take back that paranoid interpertation---

FYI-

THERE'S NO BONUS AT Company X/ Company FU
THERES'S ALSO NO LAYOVER
THERE'S NO SPLITING YOUR SLEEPER BERTH BREAK

ALL THE ABOVE IS FALSE INTERPERTATION/ PARANOID ASSUMPTION-AS THERE IS NO BONUS ANYMORE...

I WAS HOPING- it would be the full $500.00- but now I learn there is no Bonus anymore.

Welcome aboard--- p.s. it's 1.5 days for 6 out-- don't let them cheat you out of your 1/2 days.

I never did understand how they could give blue truck drivers a half day off more than red truck drivers.........racist bastards.....dont like red trucks!!!!!

If they only had a west coast dedicated.....sigh.

Well- it was only 1 for me this month. And no, it's only a bandaid to a much larger more painful problem.

The Company X Division doesn't run to Company FU -- right off the bat when they don't have any freight in a area. In my case, the let me set for 24hrs( 8 of which was their normal business hours) before they Begged Company FU for a load.

And from what I've heard, Company Fu only gives out what they don't have Trucks to cover themselves. Sometimes, Company FU gets over booked in certain areas-- and needs Company X to cover some of their freight.

In the near future, there won't be any Company X left---it will all be Company Fu-
we're all one big team. But I understand-- it's a dog eat dog world.
Would Red truck drivers be so upset--- if it was just another Red truck they were "competing" with? Or is it just the Color of the truck?

I've notice many times when I need to relay a Refridgerated Load- to get home-- and there's been plenty of Company FU Drivers in the area-
But you can't get a Company FU driver to pull a reefer-- even to get a fellow driver "home".

And if you noticed,--- I lost 1/2 a day-- at the end of that Company FU load-- switching Equipment back.

With whom do you currently work?( I think I read somewhere before but have slept since then)?

Henderson, Nv???

You wouldn't by any chance work for Poly-Trucking?

Im working for Cardinal Logistics here in SoCal. We have a Walmart Account out of Inland Cold Storage in Riverside.

I go out to the Wonder Bakery in Henderson and pick up Croutons.

After their latest contract with Wally World we went through a radical pay change in our loads and I am looking for work elsewhere.
