[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 4747163, member: 13921"] This year, my center cleaned out a CPU account of excess trailers. Last year the hub did it in 2 or 3 days. I got the last one on Tuesday. We have been busy enough that everyone had been bringing a set back to the center on the 1st turn, but 2 guys were bringing 1 trailer each and another would go to a different hub and do some extra work there. This week, we could have eliminated 1 of the extra jobs. the other extra job should probably be added year round. Right now, there is enough work, but it is handled by hub guys. The issue is that it is not getting to the center until late. We have loads arriving as late as 7:30, that were wrapped at 4 and could have been up by 5:30-6 if they were not relying on WAD guys to get them up to our building. Bums me out. I had a 274xxx tractor that ran really well. 10 speed manual with the governor set to 71. I set the cruise to 68 and had enough to pass if someone was doing 67.5. The only thing it did not have was a bluetooth radio. It was one of the 1st tractors that I have been giving out of the extra pile that I thought would be nice if it were assigned to me FT. My last night, I was sent to the railyard. checked where my trailer was supposed to be. Not there. Checked the app. Was not due to be unloaded for 35 more minutes. Found a quiet place to park and waited for the unloader to get to my box. Perfect last night of peak. [/QUOTE]
