Hey Guys just an update on where I am at. I got my letter from TSA and can get my Haz-Mat back. WOOO HOOOO. Didn't take as long as I thought it would. Less then 2 weeks. I will go one day this week and get my DL renewed and have all my endorsements and be ready to go.

It may not be an underbid situation. We got a new shipper out of Salutias. They used to use QC but the continuous late pick up and late deliveries was the reason for us getting the shipper. I've met a couple of QC drivers and were pretty good guys but they didn't seem to give a two hsits about the IC they were driving for.

I saw that on the travel order and thought about the little pills that kept you up all night back in the 70's. Turned out to be a nasty place to spend about 18 hours. 2 inch hose up 3 stories to the tank. Got a workout pulling my feet out of the mud with every step though. Glad I washed my truck 2 days ago.

Rob answered you question ..

Just want to add some insight in case you are considering TRANSPORT SERVICES

They are being sued by the RAILROAD which one I am not sure but a driver of theirs in MEMPHIS blew by some tracks on HARBOR ROAD in MEMPHIS and derailed a train . Driver was over hours (from what I was told) and was ticketed for RECKLESS DRIVING and DRIVER NEGLIOGANCE.

TRANSPORT SERVICES filed bankruptcy and was sold out of bankruptcy to another company which name slips my mind . But the names on the truck will still say TRANSPORT SERVICES until like 6 more months then they will be changing the name

They have high turnover and always have a help wanted sign outside the terminal as they are right next door to us (SUPERIOR CARRIERS) terminal 50 in MEMPHIS ..

Just be advised if you are thinking of jumping in bed with them of the situation before you jump in .

FYI

Last time I was there it was nothing but snow turned to ice. Must have melted. This was strange. The ground underneath was hard. There was just this 12 inches of coal dust mixed with water. My guess is that the gravel underneath didn't drain as well due to the dust filling the spaces between and this was a low spot. They had a bobcat come in and scrape away some of it near the valves on the trailer and that helped some. Couldn't do much around the cab though.
