Ok, I'll start the list

1. You can earn 50 thousand your first year

2. Our training is the best in the industry

3. We believe our drivers our our biggest asset

4. Your truck will be out of the shop in two hours

5. Roadside assistance will be there right away

6. I know it's a lousy load, but if you run this one for me I will hook you up with a great load next time

7. We pay detention pay after two hours

8. there should be a dock opening up any minute now

9. We guarantee your hometime

and the biggest lie of all...

10 a chicken haulers log book

Guess who this is about:

"After we joined forces with __________, we now offer our drivers more loads and higher miles!"

:roll: x 1,000,000

Swift, Werner, JB Hunt, or Schneider? I can name more than one right Chris? :lol:

11. The customer is in desperate need of this load. A crane and crew will be waiting @7am. (biggest lie from my flatbed days)

12. This load is HOT. I just picked up a HOT load last week. Picked up Thursday morning in Cincinnatti, delivered in Boston on Monday. Hot, it was room temperature at best.

The Truth is out there

Oh yeah... "This load is RUSH! It's GOT to be there...

Then, when you get there, the guy on the forklift shows you HALF A WAREHOUSE of exactly what you have on your trailer, and says he has no idea just where he's going to put what you brought.

But, I've also had loads that, when I got there, the production people were sweeping floors, and doing general cleaning, even painting, because there was no material to run. When I got there, they went back to working production.

And, when meeting the crane, we both generally got there pretty close to the same time. Try meeting "THE HELICOPTER" once.

"Highest pay in the industry"

"Our top driver earned $XXXXXX last year"

"You're not a number here"

"We've come up with a new pay package for our drivers that makes us the highest paying in the industry" :?:

How can they ALL be the highest paying in the industry at the same time????

I can see this thread going 4000 pages. lol
