Estes | Covering runs

[Triplex]

Yeah, I ran a run similar to that the other day when I was up there.
From Wilmington to New Haven, then back down to drop off one at Edison and then back to Wilmington. Not fun especially when you’ve never been through that area before. If I had known that you can take 287 around, I would have taken that route around the GW.

Doesn't anyone look at a map or Road Atlas anymore?

No. The newbies in trucking use their phones. They might have seen maps before, but they can't read. It's like reading a Norwegian news paper. von.

My phone only speaks Norwegian, maybe that's why I get lost so often.

I was once at a sporting event where I yelled at the ref and told him he couldn't make a good call with a telephone. That got me a round of applause but that's all. No free drinks. von.

It will pass in time, nothing is permanent around here. Don’t quit a decent job over something that’s just temporary. We all had to do some stuff we didn’t enjoy when we got started. The extraboard isn’t setting any records out there anyway. Enjoy the lights and the glow of the Cross Bronx and the GDub.

You got that right , at least twice a week I run to another terminal to get the freight for my run , 2 hours pushed back and of course with meet driver waiting ,have not touched a van in a month ,gets frustrating

I'd run it and enjoy not working very hard.

That’s what I’m saying. Then he’s going to get overworked and he’ll be like “I want time off or an easier run” . Just relax bro and enjoy the easy money.

I am currently being forced to cover a run for a driver that got into an accident.

It has been over 1 month...

The run is extremely low paying...take home without doing anything extra is $900. Needless to say I am pretty angry about this.

Are they allowed to keep me doing this for this long?

Estes will screw you over like this.
