how terminal don't have trailer to pick up load trailer we r a big hub and don't have trailer and driver r not on the clock
 
it's an obvious shortage of trailers at most large terminals although there has been an influx of some new vans recently....I mean like this week.
I have seen those new vans. Yep, they were being pulled by men that actually do swaps. I was told by one of your co-workers nobodysboy never had to do a swap. I guess that's just the way things are when your nobodysboy. Just saying :6788::1036316054::27:
 
We need trailers bad.we r a big hub no trailer, driver waiting around more than a hour . Drivers come in at 4:00 pm no trailer at all
 
that runaway choo choo is completely wrong. I do swaps. this past friday we were out of empty trailers at 600 pm and still had 20 swaps to go. BTW looks like I am getting a pete. I just happened by the shop to say hi and the man asked me if I was interested. I'm never at the shop. I really like what I am driving. He put me on the list. Hope I am doing the right thing.

How many terminals don't have trailers to pick drop trailers and have sit and wait and not get pay for it

Are you a linehaul driver or city? Is this after you run a peddle route and they want you to go do a swap or more pickups? If they are making you sit and wait for them to strip a trailer off the clock so you can go make pickups, that's just wrong. I've never heard of a carrier doing that.
 
City. I don't come here a lot so sorry for the slow response. Up until 1 week ago 15 drivers would be waiting up to 1 hour for an empty to do a swap with. Of course being paid. Because we have had a real uptick in holiday swaps they shipped out like 40 sets of pups and filled the yard with vans. No more waiting on an empty now. I don't mind doing a swap when it's my turn I just can't handle waiting on an empty.
