    My new one goes on the line in October, and with a 280 wheel base, I'm sure the yard mule will get a lot of free lunches.

    Why not slide your trailer tandems all the way back once your truck and trailer are lined up in the dock?

    Enjoyed this one especially. Liked the two camera set up at the dock. That was a tight spot for a long wheel based Pete.
    Cool running into Indiana Jack. He always has a good set up when backing up. Seen him do it many times.
    See ya on the next one...come-on!

    Who ever decided you need to slide tandems back before loading and unloading. Where I work they require the same thing. I know damage to dock locks from air ride trailers bouncing was one reason. I don’t thing it makes any difference, slow down before hitting the dock plate with the fork truck!

  • @jamesdayton9530
    @jamesdayton9530 6 лет назад

    It is hard to back into a hole with a long wheelbase tractor when the trailer is slide all the way back. Why don’t you get lined up with the hole before you slide the trailer wheels? It would make it a lot easier.

    • @LifeisGood2018

  • @saeeda3098
    @saeeda3098 6 лет назад

    if you keep doing these $3 to $4 / mile short haul loads you will begin to run out of retirement checks to support your trucking business I guarantee you that why do you think JB Hunt is playing with your mind to take this load? because they know they can subcontracted to a confused trucker that wants to be a businessman you just took a load off of JB Hunt hands for half what they charged the customer. but if you are happy with that more power to you tn4

    I delivered at a chicken place in Ohio and was 30min late due to a crash on a two lane which closed the road down. The reciever hit me with a $250 late fee and $280 lumper fee. Penalize the trucker for being 1min late but hold him for 3hrs and let him loose just before detention pay (which doesnt makeup for time lost) and tell him "have a nice day" Lol. Really! Industry has some flaws for sure, HEB in San Antonio TX and McLanes in CA were the fastest places I unloaded at.

    • @michaellee5399
      @michaellee5399 6 лет назад +2

  • @kellykonoske91
    @kellykonoske91 6 лет назад

    That sounds like the BiMart warehouse out here in Eugene Oregon. I used to have GE lightbulb deliveries there. Maybe 14 16 pallets worth. Make it countable they would say. Meanwhile they would disappear and you would be breaking it all down for them! Finally got sort and segregate out of them. Cut my time down when they had to pay for it!

  • @randyfrink6867
    @randyfrink6867 6 лет назад

    I picked up from P&G and delivered to NJ (Pathmark; now defunct). Took 10 hrs to unload; same BS with the pallets and counting. That was 25 yrs ago-seems like nothing changes with these (grocery warehouse) idiots.

    Really do like these longer videos. I love the OTR-O/O knowledge you've been dropping. some may think its boring... I don't. Like your bit on this video about why u don't care for grocer warehouses... That's awesome, I love picking up on knowledge like that man. Do you find yourself in tight situations where u aren't able to back in your own stretched out truck and trailer? :). You mentioned that you probably wouldn't be able to at this particular warehouse if u would've gotten a dock between two trucks... Would be a tough situation to deal with... Just curious. You have yourself a good one. Am still keeping up on all your videos. Be safe out there man. From a friendly blue collar factory worker from Wisconsin.

    Everything I heard about grocery warehouses made me happy I pulled rgn, 999 out of a 1000 were happy to ship or receive. Good video, wash that pete soon or your boss will have words with you, enjoy your videos. One thing I get is you do very little deadhead, on rgn my deadhead was 40% of total mileage, just part of the game, pull toy said so.

    • @LifeisGood2018
      @LifeisGood2018  6 лет назад +1

      david schabel yes lower deadhead and lower equipment cost along with less operating cost and still pull north of $3 and sometimes $5 a mile 👍

    TESCO Grocery warehouses in the UK are exactly the same. I refuse to go to them for the same reasons. I had a opportunity to view inside one day and my load was all lined up ready to load. The trailer was on the dock ready to receive the load. 4 hours later they started to load. Disgraceful!! One guy refused to wait but they wouldn't raise the barrier so he called the Police and told them he was being held hostage. They let him go double quick. Really enjoy your videos and the Idiotic Ramblings. Have a great day. ''COME ON''
