I ran with a company for almost two years, until they gave me to a newbie dispatcher...I gave them notice within a week.
I tried to be nice
and talk about it with one company. They fired me the next week :shock:. I learned not to have more than one suitcase and my radio with me.
The dispatcher is who makes you the $$. Short loads, "call me on Monday", four day weekends and "I'll make it up to you" don't work.
YOU have to be willing and able to "get the job done" also.
