Does anyone know if a nonessential company can do forced dispatch?

I like my job for the most part. They've never used or threatened forced dispatch before. Just curious if its legal thanks

 

Memphis area. And yeah thats what I thought to start but when I replied that hed have holler cause I dont know what could come up (ex. Sick) he replied its forced dispatch.

 

I drive local goodwill truck been shutdown as nonessential since march 22nd. They just want trailer swap every now and then

 

Unless a company has it in the driver handbook or hiring paperwork that there's "no forced dispatch", then it's legal.

 

If I drove a Goodwill truck, never have to spend money on Christmas gifts.

 

Look I put in over 20 yr OTR thankful y'all out there doing it now. But I am done with that. I run locally and have plenty of offers to go elsewhere.. I really like my job where I am but always old school when threatened I have the cdl I choose when and when not to turn the key.

Unless you or a family member have it
Then it's not funny...

Educate yourself before using your words

 

If you are holding active CDL A and so on and Dispatch sez Mush. you Mush.

Get going yer late already.

Don't like it? Then you better have a powerful reason behind that NO. One that they cannot argue with. And prepare to be discarded anyway for refusal to work.

Do not be afraid of death. That too is temporary.

 

Nope they just want trailer swap no and then. No stores or donation sites open.
