NC ND | khall alot of your potato trucks are harder to get because of the way potato shipping is handled. Guys used
to work right with the shipper and get treated right. Now alot of the spuds are put out with the big logistics
companies ( your dispatcher is a 22 year old college kid with no clue as to what the trucking world is but a
bitchy attitude), the profit is bid right to the bottom, you get to the other end and are treated like crap by the
reciever in the middle of the night, plus it is only a few month gig. With the oil field and growth, you can
get on a steady year round run at least, so you can get back without having to sit two days and watch the
loadboard. I took my trucks off spuds a few years ago and made more net profit running fries out and bringing
oilfield products back in. All the part time haulers you used to have are out west also, I can think of at least
20 guys that were spud haulers and are gone. | |
