    Idk but I dam sure wouldnt be a slave to the company truck...checking that qualcomm.....even if the rig is sitting in your yard as a company driver. While I love the IC program and still have tons to learn I was always very clear with my dispatcher call me when you have something...I am at home. Ofcoarse I was non Schneider before IC..and its funny he always called....with plenty of notice. Change over to the IC brother

    Gotta love it when your consistently starting your day at around 0800 and load is thrown on you with a 0200 2 hour live unload...

    Trying to see if I can relay it to the Portland OC but from the sounds of it (critical P&G load due to poor SNI performance on this run over the last few months) that most likely won't happen, even despite the fact I made it clear I won't be able to change my sleep schedule on such a short notice and will most likely will sleep through my alarm and miss the appointment.

    Hey y'all!! Long time no chat...

    Been busy learning the dark side; it's either feast or famine around here. I have 15 trucks, most of the drivers are pretty easy to work with - I drove the same stuff I have them doing, which helps. Having to actually plan things out so I get everyone home when they want to be - and we get home weekly here - is challenging but fun. So far, I'm enjoying it. I actually feel like I have some input here, being a driver-turned-dispatcher (yeah, I know...I said a bad word!).

    Finally got a chance to sorta catch up with the punkin tforum; good to see everyone is doing well. w.h.o. is running for Maverick, scythe08 taking off...have we an update on dfo?

    Y'all take care! I'll be around.
