Who sets the appt times?
For one load, I'm regional so I run shorter distances, it was from chicago to maryland in one day. I think it was 720 miles.
But then coming back, from jersey to ohio, 500 miles, the appt was not for 48 hours! and then another day to run another 500 miles!
Those appointments should have been much closer together. Does the shipper set those times?

Too many 34 hour resets, not enough driving. I am on...

Customer Service can get them bumped sometimes. You just need to ask your DBL. -
Avis and Budget are best for one way rentals. You'll have to book from airport to airport and make sure you get unlimited miles with no drop fee. Don't try packing all your stuff on a bus. If you can't rent a car, pack your stuff up in boxes and ship by UPS or USPS.
edit: I just noticed you don't have a year yet. You may need to work with them or be careful about switching companies. -

Red Hot Mess Thanks this.

This was one of the points I brought up yesterday. The lady from CS said it's the customer's choice and usually depends on when they ship/receive at their docks. -
That is why the pow wow session. My feeling is that if you're gonna b#### about something take action to correct it first. If that don't work then fire off at the mouth all you want.
And I am not a quitter so I will try to make it work until it proves futile.slim shady Thanks this. -
I deliver loads early all the time, just play dumb, wich for me isn't that big of a stretch anyways. Just go in and say, oh I thought this delivered today, well as ling as I'm here can you take it. It even works at grocery wherehouses. Don't do it if it data not to in the Qualcomm.

LMAO..... I do the same thing sometimes. Even with the DOT my IQ has been known to plummet to re-tard.
I usually go the opposite of you though, with customers.
I go in apologizing for being so late. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it don't.
Sometimes....working smarter means "dumbing down". -
