The night before I shut down 2.5hrs away from waco,tx with claims. They put a grocery load on me showing I'd have 10hrs left to drive once I got to temple. It's a 30min drive from waco. Then it showed I'd have 9.5hrs left to drive once I drove the 79 miles to my first stop. So I call dispatch and tell them my time is wrong (I've updated my etd twice!!). I told them I can do the loads but I need my times to be corrected so I can be accurately dispatched. Well they took loads off of me.
So next morning I get up drive to waco update my etd again.. and then they put another grocery load on me that's going 12 miles away. When I get to waco they don't have an MT trailer for an hr so they BT me to temple. Get to temple and find out that my loads not ready, so I ask how about the first load? Yes it's ready... well it's already been dispatched. Ok....so I've been sitting there since 7:30 and it's now 10:30 and another driver comes in and just now picks up that load. I could have already had delivered it by then. So here I sit till noon and finally my load was ready thats going a BIG 12 miles!!
Moral of the story: I also had a BH on Me coming out of waco. So if they knew that loads were not ready or having wait time wouldn't it have made more sense to just keep me at waco to wait for the MT trailer to avoid BT?? Wouldn't it have made more sense to just send me straight to the vendor to get BH (it was ready) to avoid paying me the DT at DC?? Or how about just keeping me on that original load?? I don't understand how we can "compete" hoping to cut costs when things like this are happening on a daily basis multiple times.
This is why IMO they don't really care about us waiting at DC's or vendors @ 14hr. I bet if they had to pay us 1/10 of ADP I bet our wait times would decrease once they see where the real problems are. They would look into it harder. I also just recently found out that on your first load out for week if there's wait time you NO longer get paid for that which that doesn't happen much but it still does happenLast edited: Aug 20, 2017
