I've been doing this hopper now for 4 years , and I still can't understand for the life of me why these shippers/brokers/dispatchers all think that $2.50/$2.36 mile is good money to haul a load of stinky, bacteria infected chicken meal , blood meal, meat and bone meal, pork meal, and my # 1 favorite Ass meal , oops I mean feather meal. Now pay attention, If a truck takes on a load of any of the above, you can't go anywhere and show that particular Bill as a previous haul , EVEN with a washout. So that means that you are going to lose money or go against the commandments and figure out a way to tell a good lie (repent later of course), so you can acquire a reload to keep the business going. So why not make these people PAY up if they want their s*** meal loads done, because some places you go to unload you have to wait ungodly hours before you can even dump or take ungodly hours to dump it out in a small pit, (wow)?????? just too much. But like they say You're Staying Busy Aren't You!!! I'm gonna stop right there and give you all a chance to chime in if yall feel the need . Take care

KIRK, hauling the same product for the same customers is the way to go, but when you don't now that's something totally different. I get demerge, detention as well , but that still doesn't cover tieing the truck up because of 1 load. Let me say this, I haven't hauled C M, or MBM products for a while now, not saying that I won't, but I'll have to be paid accordingly before I do it. Thanks for the response.

The next issue is 95% of those loads you mentioned deliver to pet food mills and they hold the gold standard for world class gold trophy DETENTION time.

That's correct , and while you're sitting there, you're thinking about IFTA, FUEL, MAINTENANCE, FOOD , BATHROOM, SLEEP , THAT EVER TICKING CLOCK (ELD) , where can you find a washout, and anything else you can think of while you're sitting there LOSING!!! I didn't post this to cause trouble, by no means, but I did post it to make EVERYONE consciously aware of the situations that we as drivers incur in our struggles to survive and provide.
