TForce | For those "lucky" enough to draw lakeshore......

[maxicoze]

If you're unlucky enough to draw lakeshore, here is a way to deliver the carpets.

There are many ways, and different terminals have different equipment, but if you have the convertable type handtrucks, why not load one end of the carpets into the handle side, and on the other end wrap the carpets with some tape---or you could use one of your load straps.

because most of the time its one or two carpets per destination, or Pro. easier just to throw it over the shoulder... depending on the size.

I get paid by the hour, I piece at a time, prevents Injury.

True, but lately we've been getting a lot of pros with multiple carpets. Maybe lakeshore is offering a package deal on carpets?

Too tedious for me. This way makes it fairly easy and quick without any straining.

Also, if you do it one piece at a time then you get the messages on the diad asking "what's taking so long?" etc.........

drag it to the tail, lean it off the edge of trailer onto ground.. drive away .. delivered

My reply, "this is a lot of pieces, I'm doing it safely".....and no I dont work there but I've been doing this awhile....

 

[laid off 90%]

Which would you rather do. Lakeshore or Starbucks.

My reply would be " if you or anybody else can do it faster come on over here, I'll wait."

Most of the starbucks we have at our terminal are not "conventional" starbucks; They are in universities, airports etc. So it's usually a roll-to and drop.

i don't like either one, but if i had to choose, then starbucks, i guess......

A very simple answer to Max's question always worked for me.
"I've been buckin a headwind"

Glad to see you're okay Seabreeze

 

[Triplex]

Seabreeze "OK"? A guy who buries his money in Mason Jars all around his backyard is "OK"? If you say so!

 

[ltl1]

That was one account I was glad to see go at ABF.

They both suck, but at least with Lakeshore I get to see the kids get a thrill of the big truck pulling up. They press their faces against the fence, big eyed wondering what is that giant vehicle doing.

Hey buddy, the way the market is tanking these days, mason jars might be the way to go! Who knew breeze was ahead of his time!
