Great Plains Transport - A company that cares about drivers... NO BS.

Any chance of going through Mapleton and going to the 7 day clinic at Fargo?

 

I'm not sure what clinics they have around there, looks like they have things set up to run south with this load a bit, swap and then delivering near home Sunday, parking it at home before the current card then going into the doc's office and DMV Tuesday to get it all figured out. Basically the doctor used the right form but the card was the old outdated one, and NY waited until the last minute to spit it back out at me. so luckily dispatch and safety were able to set something up and this won't burn me on miles as much as I thought it would. Kind of kicking myself in the rear for not double checking to make sure the doctor used the right card before I went home and scanned it.

 

If New York keeps doing what they've been doing it will be illegal to have a job in that state eventually

 

Yep.... Considering they've already driven quite a few good businesses out of the state, or out of business, especially around buffalo.

 

Alright good deal. Holland sends us to the 7 day clinic there off 45th south of the Petro for physicals.

 

Finally got the license situation fixed, and was able to get things moved back into the truck. Originally, this load I was on wasn't supposed to be delivered near Syracuse until Tuesday, but got the go-ahead to run it in Sunday morning, which gave me more time in case I got held up at the DMV office. Unfortunately it took a good couple of hours before I could get a hold of the dispatch, and then I got "are you at the consignee yet?". Wth--- after sending in the appropriate macros for my unloading and letting them know of my early delivery these people on NE are that inept at looking at messages?? Wound up waiting and being told they'll find something by evening, and then they immediately left for today. A full day later... Nothing. You'd think after the foul-up on my medical papers and having me get them fixed, and communicating the situation heavily so I'd have my bases covered they make some effort to get something lined up. ill be glad to get away from the east and go further west,,,

 

Glad to hear it's working out for you. I'm done with theses pains in the butt.

 

Can't budget two weeks? Incomprehensible. ....

 

Actually they pay every week now...

 

What if you waited until a day after payroll for a load and got a 3000 mile run that was finalled a few hours after next cutoff. You owe them money as in no check?
