Thanks smooth you were a big help.

Smooth is right. There is already a thread going on about Shaffer if you would just look a little bit. You also need to be a little more specific about what it is you want to know.

I am currently a Shaffer Driver....but not for long...what did you want to know?

If you're thinking of hiring on...I'd wait until all the dust settles after Jan 31st Next year....or hire on at Crete and drive a RED truck.....probably next year there will be no more "Shaffer" probably call Crete Temp Contro Divison

Hey Headborg, did you have to go with cretes useless zone dispatch system too? I feel for ya.

When I bailed from Crete in August I was heavily recruited by Shaffer but I found something local and part time which is what I really wanted to do.

Good luck wherever you end up at!

"cretes useless zone dispatch" is up and coming!

No for the past 2.5 years....I had to "go with" Shaffer's 2 operations offices-
one in York, one in N.K. -----the right hand never knowing what the left is doing...and when you're a York driver entering n.k. zone you're last to be offered out and vice versa.
Now, with the consolidation of the two offices in Lincoln...they are go to Zone Dispatch...which I've work for a different company which did that...and the result is same. 0 continuity whenever crossing between different zones, no one keeping track of what the driver/truck needs are...simply put Zone Dispatch is mainly concerned with taking care of the Customer...not the Truck. It's all about "covering the loads" and that's it.

Cretes so-called "useless zone dispatch" is the greatest dispatch system I run across in 13 years of driving. I have always hated dealing with the same DM all the time.

I must be missing out on something here ops: I rarely have had a problem getting a load. By far the longest was 2 days! but that was ok cuz I was at home . There were loads in the area but other drivers were sitting in truck stops so being the nice guy I am I let them take em.
Uselly when I send mt call I get a load offer withen 15 minutes or so.
