Just have to post about this company. My roommate drives for them -- they're a small reefer company (less than 120 trucks) and he has been very happy with them since he started there in February. He has been running hard and gets home to Grand Rapids, MI a couple times a month. He asked his dispatcher Bree to get him by the house so he could be here when our dog went in for surgery this past Thursday. He was in CA at the time with a load going back to TX. She got him a load from TX to Detroit that delivered Wednesday so he could get home. He got to spend time with his sons in Detroit Wednesday and got to GR early Thursday am. Took the dog to the vet and he was supposed to come home same day. There were some complications with his surgery and he had to stay until Friday. Bree got him a load -- pick up in Plover, WI on Friday, but he told her that he couldn't do it because he wanted to be here when the dog got home on Friday. She said no problem and she would see what she could work out. Another driver picked up a load in Detroit on Friday that didn't have to be in TX until Monday a.m. She routed that driver through GR to swap his load for my roommate's empty trailer. The other driver took the Plover, WI load and my roommate didn't have to leave out until Saturday to take his load to TX. We would have understood if they couldn't work this out -- after all, it was his dog, not a person who was sick, but they understood, didn't give him any problem and worked it out so that he could be here when he wanted to be. This is not the first time they have worked things out like this -- got him home for his great aunt's funeral, worked around my schedule so I could ride along with him a few times, etc... It's nice to know that there is a company that will work with their drivers to help them be involved in life outside of their truck. Like I said, he works hard for them all the time, he's switched up his plans to help other drivers with their 'emergencies' and they return it to him whenever he asks. Just thought this was really special and wanted to let everyone know that good companies are out there.
