I put this down to the planners getting used to our software. Pu and deliveries are terminal driven. So the mapping and the like will be corrected as they become more experienced. Then you have the drivers becoming accustomed to our software and these new tablets we are using as well as our expectations etc..
A buyout is new for us. Previous we expanded the old fashioned way. One at a time. Scout locations for terminals or bought existing but no longer used spots to get us into an area. Nashville was like that. We VERY quickly outgrew thatmisterG and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
On today’s episode of “As the Steering Wheel Turns” we have the case of the junior driver who steals everybody else’s weekend work, who shall herein be referred to only as “driver” despite the fact that “dirty ####ing back stabbing ########### low life son of a #####” would be quite fitting.
I get a phone call from “driver” Thursday morning with the declaration of “I’m taking the Saturday linehaul run because I talked to the load planner and ops mgr who said fine as long as its okay with you”
Before I could say “oh no you don’t”, “driver” changes the subject and starts babbling about the recent management shakeup, which I had to cut off because I was pulling into my next delivery. I didn’t pay this much mind because I figured he was blowing smoke like he usually does.
That is, until I saw the SOB hooking up to the trailer Friday afternoon, at which point I said “oh HELL no” and fired off 2 angry text messages to both the ops mgr and the load planner. The ops mgr got back to me first and tried to play dumb until I told him what I suspected, and then the truth came out.
When I heard from the load planner he pretty much had the same story.
Basically what happened here was “driver” sucks up to load planner to get extra run who is then told. “Driver” then goes to ops mgr who overrules load planner on the assumption that I was in the loop on all of this, which I knew nothing about until after the fact when “driver” gets me on the phone Thursday.
“Driver’s” phone number is now blocked, and if this ###-hole tries that again I’ll be on the phone to corporate in a hot minute.The Shadow, misterG, Another Canadian driver and 4 others Thank this. -
