Except you don't run 577 per night. Try 425 per night
You believe whatever you want to if it makes you feel better about yourself, cupcake... lol

Geez dude lay off the narcotics, it's affecting you in a strange way. You keep talking like that and the rubber room is in your future.You guys are ridiculous. The company bought 582 new Petes and 2700 new freight liners this year. You guys can't stand the fact that Central is better than the home of a company you work for. Hope you are enjoying all your restrictions and cameras mounted all over your trucks because the company knows not to trust your lazy, pup pulling asses
577 in 9 hrs is 64.1111 mph not including drop/hook pre/post trip inspectionYou believe whatever you want to if it makes you feel better about yourself, cupcake... lol
I spoke too soon; saw one today without a plate, sporting the registration in the window. I guess they have a ways to go before they get them all ready for prime time. I gotta say, I've never seen a company pull that move.
I was making an observation, not a judgement. The fact is I've never seen dozens of trucks (or even just 1 truck) run around for weeks with registration paperwork taped to the windshield instead of license plates. You must admit it's a little weird. Clearly, you are overly sensitive. I'm plenty happy where I am, where there happens to be no cameras (yet) and no pups. I didn't insult you. Why did you feel the need to call me lazy? Strange.You guys are ridiculous. The company bought 582 new Petes and 2700 new freight liners this year.

Same thing is happening here aat aaa. Our Bill count is almost half of what is normal for the last 4 months. Drivers sitting home daily at my barn. I got sent home today!The paper tag is just the temp tags. Same thing happened when we got the Freightliners. Nothing new and not a big deal.
Although, here's a question for good ol' Mr Perfect.
I've been here for years and not once have I seen us sitting drivers all over the place like we are now. We're hemmoraging manpower, Linehaul guys in our region are lucky to turn 300 a night and no dock time, and we have to fight to get corporate to let or TM bring enough city guys in to run the territory we are trying to cover.
And we can get all the new trucks in the world, but they're sending us the worst trailers I've ever seen. What good are new trucks when we're constantly getting kicked out of customers without getting loaded?
Just a thought from a long term CT guy, who's about ready to say screw it at this point.
577 in 9 hrs is 64.1111 mph not including drop/hook pre/post trip inspection
63.111 mph average in9 hrs.in a 66mph truck?9 hours drive time. If you count pre/post trip and the stupid 30 min break then it's around 9:50 a night because rarely ever have to build or break the sets. Truck runs 66 mph and the actual hub miles for the run are 568 but it pays 577 in the system. Not going to question that... lol

Your storyYup. What is it that you're having trouble understanding here??

Since 2014 Central has been steadily purchasing new trucks. I've hauled into the majority of terminals in the upper Midwest and can honestly say the oldest trucks they have on the road are 2014 Freighliners. They really have made some strides with getting new equipment on the road!I started noticing the **** yellow Petes a couple weeks ago. I'm still not used to seeing CT trucks that aren't total junk running the roads.
Haven't you ever purchased a new vehicle before? You get a yellow temporary sheet of paper to tape in the window until the state gets around to issuing your license plates. 100% legal - who would want to let brand new trucks sit idle on a technicality? I'd hate to be the manager that has to tell his drivers they can't touch the new equipment because the state hasn't issued plates yet...if it wasn't legal they would all be pulled over at every weigh station don't you think?I spoke too soon; saw one today without a plate, sporting the registration in the window.
