Middle of the night!

The phone rings at three in the morning and it is our custom ring for FedEx Custom Critical with a ASAP pickup and delivery. In ten minutes we wake up, get dressed, get our load information, get in the drivers seat, get our drivers logs updated, fill out our paperwork and get rolling.


t is a rude wake-up when the phone is ringing like that, but we are in the business of ASAP freight so we know we have to wake up fast and get moving. We each know what our job is to get the truck rolling and to the customers dock. Later we can take care of details. We do not get middle of the night loads often which is a good thing but we are prepared when the call comes in. This morning it was an air freight load which has a little more stress as we know we are going to have to a meet a plane and the plane does not really care about road conditions. We will have this load picked up and delivered within two hours of getting the call and and then we go back in service to wait for that next beep of the QUALCOMM. At night we change how we receive our load notifications to have our phone ring as we do not hear the beep of the QUALCOMM when we are asleep.

Just another reminder that while we are asleep the world is still hard at work and at any time they might need an expedite truck to help them out.
