I am not an idiot. I called BS. Then he had me pull up the payroll website on my computer, entered his password, and showed me his load history. It was there in black and white.

 

Here's another chapter in what is becoming a really bad joke of a company.

So my new load has an extra pickup. I make my first pickup early this morning. I can work my hours using split berth to get me about 30 mins from the receiver a day before my appointment. It is close to home so the GF was going to come visit me. Anyway I rested 8 hours in the sleeper after my first pickup, drive to my second pickup planning on taking a 2 hour break here while loading then have enough drive time to get to hagerstown MD (receiver is in Frederick) around 10pm. I get to my second pickup to find the company did not provide me with a proper pickup number. It is now an hour after my scheduled pickup appointment and I am now being told they are having trouble getting my pickup number and I may need my appointment rescheduled for tomorrow which means I'll be spending a wasted day here waiting because of this companies total incompetence.

This is not the first time this has happened. I have waited over 5 hours for an appointment to be rescheduled because they sent me on a load I could never deliver on time, and they were informed of this by me and told to take it anyway. Then I was told to t-call that load 60 miles away, then after t-calling it was told to take that load back to the receiver the next day.

I have also had several times been given incorrect or no pickup/delivery numbers. I sat at a wal-mart DC for over 3 hours waiting to find out they had forgot 1 digit in my delivery number.

Before becoming a driver I managed and ran a business over the span of 17 years and I can tell you this is not the proper way to do business.

 

sitting in a ts bobtail waiting for an mty, been here 2 days along with 4 other pam bobtails. there are no mtys in the area, but there are loads that need hauled.in the last 7 days i will have applied for 3 days layover pay.

Incidentally once again you fail to quote the whole relevant part of the thread, just quoting what you see fit...wrong/missing pickup/delivery numbers, impossible deliveries, those indeed happen to me as often as I have stated. But I guess it only happens to me and no one else. If my customers headstones were consistently installed late, or god forbid a grave not ready for the funeral, or dug in the wrong place, incorrect type, style, or lettering on a headstone...that all costs the company money. In a small company these errors are serious issues. In a large company where you can pay a mass amount of employees a pittance to make up for the incompetance I guess it's acceptable.

I will grind through my year to get the experience I need, but if things stay the way they are I doubt I will stick around.
