you can't do that? it's only 133.33 miles per hour. Make it happen, oh wait did you stay home too long or stay on break or something? Communication is the key to your success, anytime something doesn't look right call dispatch and let them know. Anytime you are delayed call and communicate, there is no problem that can't be solved.

my dispatch knew ,, who do you think gave me the loads and knew where i was at ,, they kept telling me to just get it there at quick as i could ,, if they would have put wings on my truck ,, i never stayed home more than 3 days ervery 3 weeks , thats not what i wanted but company policy ,,, i prefer to stay out 6 to 8 weeks then be home for a week ,,, im not a slacker ,or a "steering wheel holder" by no means and have a flawless work record since then ,, the last company i worked for i absolutly loved and they went under ,, they gave me very time sinsitive loads over and over again because they knew i would get it there ,,, it wasnt a communication issue at barr nunn it was slack and rude dispatch that give load info a day late

so if you're dispatched a day late, and they say get there as quick as you can, just get it there as quick as you can legally. Take you're day and half to deliver your load, that's as quick as you can do it.
