ODFL | Are you ready to rumble

BillyLo said:
I was ready to rumble today. Had this flipping huge tanning bed to deliver to a salon. The little hottie inside brought her boyfriend to help move it but I told him to stand back. That boy looked like a freight cuck as his woman was in awe as I sweated up my muscles to get that piece of freight off the pallet, turned through the door sideways. I sure didn't care, brought my handtruck and pallet jack tag teamed them on both ends and scooted the freight down the hall. By then I could tell the hottie knew I was much more alpha than her pathetic loser bf. I said look, there you go I ain't taking no trash from this delivery you got to clean it up boy. Called his woman over and she happily signed the handheld, I done tell ya what she'd give me her number if that loser bf of hers weren't there.

No line driver ever going to tell a days work like that. Most hardest day for a flunkie road driver is them getting the dolly stuck in a pot hole.

Who needs gym membership when I slam 20-30k lbs of freight every day while making my company good money on inside delivery charges. Now you guys have a look into my life and know why I'll never value the lazy line drivers.

Just when I'm about to tune it out we get another good one... man the hits just keep on coming!

If you think all our deliveries are drop and sign, you'll be in for the shock of your life. Most of our freight is trash thanks to our sales people for getting us some real garbage accounts.

I can't help it I was blessed with the body to handle this Freight.

My fave is the basketball goal account out of North Cackalacka that has a glass board in one box and the support pole in the other. Whole thing weighs about 400 lbs, boxes are oblong and impossible to pick up. First one I did went to some rich bitch house at the top of a hill, no liftgate on the trailer either. Fun times.

Been there done that for sure. If OD paid overtime I would be a lot more apt to leave my road job working 60 hours a week to run the city. The hourly rate they offer is very fair and one of the best in the industry, but when you're pushing 55-60 in the city making 20k less than a road driver doing the same there's something wrong.

By the time we get them out here those things look trashed beyond belief. I thought no bigs when I delivered my first but then I grabbed the base piece and said SOB is this heavy, so I put some muscle to it and had to walk the garbage freight a few blocks down the street with my PJ to avoid having to send a hoopie up and finish the delivery. Power of Promises kept by OD because that's who we are.

When you get in there and wrestle that freight smartly you'll walk away no injuries every time. I watch all you guys just put your full back into everything you do and then try jacking up pallet jacks while it's resting on a board. Follow me around for one day and I'll show you how to move freight properly so you don't have to give up your life and run freight at night with the zombie crowd.

We can compare resumes anytime. There is nothing in freight I don't know how to do. As you get older you choose not to.

That's because your hat has a lift gate attached to it.

These days the freight we move don't even fit on our tiny liftgates. We need those big antique railgates you teamsters got. Small gate or not, I ain't gonna let that stop me from moving a 15' pallet of playground supplies. It's coming off one way or another and it's going to like it. Pure OD muscle.

Pictures! Pictures!
Next time hand your phone (that you don't text on and drive) to the customer and have them take pictures of all this magic that is happening so you can share with us on TB. :1036316054:

Pants still too tight billy? Loosen them up...more blood will flow to the brain. Also, take a refresher course in English. Your post should read: "Do you even have AN MLB team to haul freight for?" Use AN when using an acronym.

I'm sorry teacher, but I just drive a truck and deliver freight for the world's greatest truck ruler in this country. Who do you work for again? Don't tell me, I don't want to spit out my dinner in laughter. If you ain't OD, you ain't a real freight hauler.

You're no different, or better, than any other LTL driver on this board, billy. And for you to think so is the purest form of arrogance. We all do the same job, regardless of the shirt we wear. Do us all a favor and curb the egotistical BS.

Wrong, I could go to YRC and be the employee of the year. Not too many around with my work ethic anymore. I tried teaching song a few things, he'll be a good driver like me someday and will take on from where I left off after I pass on.
