True.. I will post the figures when they tell me. 500$ a night...whooooo boy
That's when it's swamped. I'm glad it's few and far between. 350 about a night is good enough for me. I'm more than happy with that.

That is going way back in the day. The plant I was at had one of the trailers for storage, but the tractor was before my Frito days. This was also when the drivers unloaded the boxes without a 2-wheeler, or so the old timers said they did back in "The good ole days"!
I'm assuming your in Tx with the 57ft trailer. Frito sure has come a long way as far as equipment. Unloading a drop frame at mini bins verses unloading an E-van at a dock high warehouse sure made for a different days work!
I was at a small plant Louisville Ky, with roughly 30-35 drivers and we only had a few bid runs which were to Vend stops. We bid the road jobs daily and I usually unloaded 4-5 trailers a week. I could get a 1-2 stop load to Western Ky or Tn and then backhaul out of Pulaski Tn to Eastern Ky or Southern Il and be home late on the 2nd day. I tried to do 2 of these a week and then a short turn on Sat. I liked working Tues-Sat and if they had expanded our plant instead of closing it, I probably would have retired from Frito. We had some strictly driving loads which I did occasionally, but I usually preferred a 1-3 stop peddle load as this was where the money was at our plant.Yes sir I don't know how yall did it back in the day. With my block bid now I barely ever do unloads anymore, unless I bid on extra OTR work on my off days. Which I do but we still have a lot of good paying drop and hook runs. We only have a few real bins left that aren't converted to PEC. PEC is way easier than bins.
