They were forcing me to run overnight. Like I said starting at around 5-8pm driving into the day. Then calling me when the desk hickies we’re headed home. 2:30-3:30ish. Right when I’m sleeping.
edit:lol night dispatch? You mean some companies PAY people to work AT NIGHT in an OFFICE. Holy ####. Someone tell my boss so they know I’m not crazy. (They don’t have a night dispatcher at all) just an emergency contact for wrecks etc
edit2: I’m done here at this place. I’ve been up since 6am and now I’ll be driving till around that time. They don’t give a #### about safety or drivers here.
Thinking about giving up

Well, I can honestly say I’ve never regretted quitting a Job. Only regretted staying on longer than I wanted to. It’s obvious this place isn’t a good fit. Now you’ll have to weigh your choices., if any. Do what you have to, I wish you the best of Luck. Been there before.
nredfor88, Hazmat Cat, tommymonza and 3 others Thank this. -
Make them send you a message and you can read it when you wake up.
If you are ontime they really don't have much of a reason to be calling you.BackwoodsGA, Farmerbob1 and bryan21384 Thank this. -

So how on federal HOS are you up and doing anything job related for 13hrs and then say you are being forced to drive all night?dwells40 Thanks this. -
Yesterday, for example, I woke at 0600, started driving at 1100, and shut down at 2230.
Today I did manage to sleep until 0800, started my day a bit before 0900, and shut down at 1945. Shut down a bit early to get back on a schedule that let's me drive a full day and still find parking. Tomorrow, I roll @ 0600, and will shut down @ 1900. -
I wanna know what this guy did for 13hrs before he was "forced to drive" all night.TokyoJoe Thanks this.
