Weekly update 8/28/23. No detention pay shipper 🤬🤬🤬

[@MrRld1960]

An airline was just fined like $4 million because planes sat on the tarmac and passengers had to wait. Yet, they do nothing when truck drivers sit at the docks for hours

[@BMETransport]

Look like you starting to hit your groove at Mercer fam

[@Againsttheworldlogistics]

Definitely, learning which lanes to run and what states to stay away from.

What happened to the volvo

[@romelc6347]

Did you return your SFI truck ? If so was the early lease termination a lot ?

[@Againsttheworldlogistics]

Yes. It was $6000 for breaking the lease and $2500 for basically cleaning the truck and putting it back up for sale

[@MrRld1960]

Their should be a law that everyone has to pay detention from hour number 1

[@Againsttheworldlogistics]

That would be nice, but we all know that would never happen

[@MrRld1960]

@@Againsttheworldlogistics I think it will eventually. Especially if people would complain. That is why they are pushing for young drivers and women, they are naive about the industry. Thinking this is the way it is or should be.

[@tibifred]

when you drove your truck to mercer for orientation, who had it insured? mercer?

[@Againsttheworldlogistics]

I was still insured with JB hunt when I got to Mercer.

[@tibifred]

ah okay, was wondering who'd insure a truck just bought off a lot, a regular insurace company or if mercer would@@Againsttheworldlogistics

[@Againsttheworldlogistics]

Spend the money to get a new Termo King Tri-Pak, it will be money well spent. I see you have a grass burner exhaust. I don't care what they say about the air being cleaner coming out than it is going in. I would not want to sleep in that truck with it running breathing that air. I had 2 put on in Nashville, TN. They know what they are doing. It looks like you have room for it.

[@Againsttheworldlogistics]

My truck has an EPU

[@Bashaad90]

Where at in Nashville

[@MrRld1960]

@@Bashaad90 Thermo King in Nashville. I had them put 2 on for me. They know what they are doing. It has been 10 years or so, and I'm sure they still know what they are doing. I had them, the one in Birmingham, Al. and Ocala, Fl. service my units every time, and all done great jobs.

Can you update us on the money?

[@irvingvidro5059]

Nahhh hold up you must really not like that western express driver 😂😂 I think that’s the first time I’ve heard you say anything like that

[@Againsttheworldlogistics]

Let me explain, if I lose that parking area I will absolutely have nowhere to park my truck. In my city they passed a new law where you can’t park a commercial vehicle on the street. They towed my truck like a month ago and I had to pay like $1k to get it back, I’m not trying to go through that again.

[@irvingvidro5059]

@@Againsttheworldlogistics no I get it and I do remember you telling us about that. It ain’t easy finding places to park. These ignorant and disrespectful drivers ruin it for everyone. And then be the first ones to complain about it.

What happened to your Volvo?

[@Againsttheworldlogistics]

Gave it back to SFI, that weekly payment was just to much.
