    Crap happens in this industry. My dispatcher is great, but nights and weekends leaves a LOT to be desired. I have been dispatched to places that are closed on weekends a few times. It is a PITA, but it will happen.

    After you finally get it delivered and you’re close to home then put in a macro for say 3 to 4 days off. While at home keep the phones and computer off.

    stick it out because that part of trucking won’t change much with one mega to another

    I'm a new trucker. Been at this less than 2 years. Put up with a Mega for 5 months after their school, researched companies and applied to a select few, chose 1 and immediately was making 20% more. Still had issues but ALL companies have issues. Stayed for a year and applied as a joke to a company that sounded too good to be true. Another 20% increase in pay and as many miles as I can handle, seemingly by accident. My one gripe so far? They won't get me a 13 speed manual. Stuck with a 10. Poor me.
    Learn to read the reviews. You'll be able to recognize the bs versus the legitimate. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Have a list before you call and get them answered.

    So it so happens that's exactly how things went afterwards. It was so weird being gone from home for so long. It's been a rough start but, definitely been getting some experience.

    I am definitely finding this to be true about nights/weekends dispatch.
