I will drop it at the home yard , getting screwed yet again of most of a days driving. I'm looking for employment elsewhere.


    That sucks! When will you find out about the other position you wanted?
    when I can sit down with both my dispatcher and our new ops manager. In my mind , this past week has earned me the right to move over there now. The mistakes made this week have cost me money and wasted time in this truck.

    So I may be able to swing a sit down tomorrow.

    Do they compensate you all for their errors or does it just come with the territory?
  • mickeyratmickeyrat Posts: 37,769
    territory. But the series of errors, it feels personal. They may be able to do a little something about pay. I say cut me loose for the other gig. That would satisfy me.

    Just got a message this morning. I have one more 6 day run for this schedule then I make the switch to dedicated. Glad I get to run "my" truck one last time. That's one in the avatar pic.

    oh man, so the fuck ups continued last night. I had asked to have a shortish run once I dropped my trailer from Indy yesterday to kinda maximize my driving yesterday. Otherwise it woul dhave only been 180 miles paid.

    SO my info says I'll arrive at this place south of columbus at 1735. With an appointment time of 1000-1800. Which tells me I can show up at anytime within that window. Turns out , it was an at 1000 appt for a live load of dog food. Sat for three hours total until I got loaded.

    In the end I only added 82 extra miles on the day. BUT I did work it so I got an extra $30 detention pay.

    I really dislike live unloads at grocery warehouses. Sitting here waiting til god knows when to even get backed into a dock. To top it off I got here 30 min late due to a wreck on I81 and road construction 1/2 mile from this place.

    Waiting on a phone call to tell me which door to back into.

    Oh, the kicker is there is only one guy processing the paperwork at the guard shack. I woul dguess there are about 40-45 trucks waiting.

    Sounds like a good time to watch a movie on the old laptop.
  • mickeyratmickeyrat Posts: 37,769
    unfuckingbelieveable. Almost 7 hours to unload and count a truckload of fucking Pringles. I swear I think they counted individual chips!! This really set me back. Easily could have picked up the next load and been halfway to delivering THAT load were it not for fucking Kroger. Now I sit here still at Kroger on my 10 hour break, Wont get to legally leave til 1016 in the morning. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

    OK, doing some "help" for my soon to be former dispatcher. Have a load under me that has a delivery appt time of 0100. Currently sitting in their parking lot across from a sign that says NO OVERNIGHT TRUCK PARKING. UMMM yeah.

    After I deliver(live unload) I get to sit for 10 more hours to get my legal 10 hour break in. As it is I'll only have 9 hours into to sitting before I go on duty for an hour or so. Thereby ruining a pontential break. Dont you just love regulations?

    there would have been time for a shortish tour. Got here at 445. HOF closes at 8.

    Have no way to get there without further fucking my time and because I'm a broke ass truck driver. ;)

    i like Pringles.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    just hours away from getting off this schedule. Been at this location since 445 yesterday. I STILL have NOT recieved info directing me where to go next. Think I want to call in and say just bring me home. How this fucking company stays in business with all the seeming ineptitude is beyond me.
