I wanna smack my dispatcher

[freebirdrfd]

What a crappy week this has been, to say the least. It's Friday morning, I just finished a load and waiting for my next load. I started Monday morning and have already driven a little over 2,100 miles. Now the bad part: every load except the very first has SUCKED...

Load 1: 548 loaded, 39 empty - paid me $0.35pm
Load 2: 566 loaded, 34 empty - paid me $0.21pm
Load 3: 291 loaded, 23 empty - paid me $0.31pm
Load 4: 303 loaded, 78 empty - paid me $0.24pm
Overall total: 1882 miles (2,102 actual), $0.277pm ($0.248pm actual hub)

Why Malaki why ?????????

Ya... I know it...

Maybe the next time a JB recruiter calls, I might not scream at them and hang up the phone as quick.

sad that you are wasting your time away in a truck like that.
i drive truck cause I enjoy it but the day it stops paying is the day I park it. I done it before and will do it again.....
you should look in to some community college courses and some retraining in a new field that lets you live like a human....
its for your own good....

I'm just biding my time for a couple more months until my driving record clears.

The only thing "smacking" your dispatcher might do is give you a little satisfaction.
Think about it...
YOU GOTTA HAVE BRAIN TO FEEL PAIN.

[Malaki86]

Hahaha

Even an education anymore don't mean anything... their the first ones to get laid off.. then its back to this profession.

Just be glad that you don't live in Massachusetts. Nothing ever comes off of your driving record if you have a C.D.L.... i have tickets on my driving record from the 80's. A lot of employers want a clean driving record and don't care how long ago the violations were. I have lost my chance at a lot of good jobs because Massachusetts won't take anything off.

Ummmmmm......Mal......You do realize that you're not the only one whom wants to smack their dispatcher....Right??

Mal, I wrote a nice long Hobo~esque post, but hit the back button on accident. So, short version.

Sorry to here about that! Slap my previous dispatcher & I'll slap your's. LOL!

Yeah, as much as might want to, don't abandon the truck. Make sure to drop it in their terminal or where they specify within reason. You still havn't told us who you drive for. Is it a secret?

It's a small company in north-central west virginia. unless you live close, you can't work here. (truck has to be parked at the shop every weekend)
