Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

I’d imagine every company wants to know your eta. What’s the big deal? Do you have to tell them every day or something?

 

It’s because they’re having service issues a lot of it is because they’re dispatching loads late causing service failures… But they also have a lot of lazy drivers over here too they don’t want to drive hardly… I mean they sent me the message this morning want to know my ETA whether or not I was going to make it on time or not… 180 miles away with 27 hours before the delivery appointment right now loud like they cannot sit there and track the truck and figure out and put two & two together and figure OK he’s gonna make it…

 

Haven't got that yet. Though I did get this this morning:

I'm going to be upset if I start losing loads to drivers that can't be bothered to run what the load requires. Once in awhile I don't mind something that only requires 400mi or less a day, but in general I prefer 5-600. My last company wanted eta/pta when leaving shipper then eta like 3 times a day, though we had lot more drop and hook with wide open appts so was supposedly more to help plan next load.

 

There going to lose a bunch of drivers over this..because i know for a fact since i ran into 2 of them my self that will not drive more than 350-400mi a day…

 

It’s not hard.

 

It sounds like they need to do some firing if they have undependable people. I mean, whats the deal. You guys are pretty much at the top end of they reefer pay scale.

 

Lazy effs.

 

I’ve been saying to stop catering to these kinds of drivers..they need to find another industry..

 

What they say about no freight in Florida must be true. Me and another Shaffer driver will be going on 2+ days sitting after we delivered our loads.

I finally got a preplan but it won't pick up till the next day and is all the way in Georgia.

 

SMH with you....
