[As opposed to what whitewhite etc was complaining about.
He obviously meant time and miles lost while sitting coupled to what is effectively a warehouse on wheels while it’s on the dock, on POA, not booking a daily rest period.
By definition booking a daily rest period between runs while a trailer is being tipped/loaded/tipped/loaded effectively means no lost time at all.
Just like switching trailers doen’t.
You were clearly doing traction work while you were pulling a UPS trailer regardless of the reason for pulling it.
So exactly what were you doing/did you do, during the time it was being loaded and after you had dropped it.I’m guessing you weren’t booking POA with a unit earning nothing during those periods.It’s a UPS trailer so by definition it’s traction.
1.) It’s possible I know more about WhiteWhiteWhites needs and opinions than you. To do swaps everywhere would require a doubling of their trailer fleet.
2.) Yes, to split hairs that single short run to Koln was traction. And a mistake, on their part. Lots of their trailers com back from Europe empty.
3.) No idea, can’t remember, one short run to Koln 9 years ago wasn’t all that memorable.

Unless you only did half a days driving by time it’s dropped.

You’re biggest problem is you think there’s a one size fits all solution. If you’d had a wider experience you’d know the industry is far too big, too complicated and too varied for that.
Drop and swap everywhere is the ideal and best way to run it but just not realistic for many is my only point disagreeing with concept just how realistic it is.
