Thanks for the info that's what I thought, just needed confirmation. So the issue with this is what? having to go way out of the way to pick up a load or something?
Mars, we don't really have "forced dispatch" up here, usually we are accustomed to going where we need to, but with our trucking companies being much smaller than the ones down south our dispatch gets to know us, & they tend to send us where we like to go. And if we do have to go where we don't particularly "want" to go they tend to return the favour next time. Forced dispatch seems to be a really big issue down there, not sure why, doesn't make any sense to a Canadian driver as it's a pretty much unknown term up here, as our terrain & driving conditions varies so drastically, dispatch knows better than for instance, to send a driver with no mountain experience to the mountains. Does that make sense?
