Holiday gifts for dispatch, office personnel etc?

I bought my dispatcher a small gift today. He really appreciated it and already ate half the box. He’s such a fatty.

 

You have the best dispatcher!!

 

Hey........ don't you know that "body shaming" can get you banned from the internet!!!

 

Its ok. I walked inside truck stop, looked in the mirror and apologized to him. He seems to be doing ok. I hope he lets me go home this weekend.

 

Christmas presents for dispatchers? No way! I will occasionally bring coffee and donuts to the mechanics in our shop. They work hard so they deserve it.

 

Now a box of chocolates should get you the best loads for next few months don't you think?

 

I’ve never once given a gift or received one in the trucking world. When I first got In trucking I’d come upon a lot of stray animals so I started keeping dog food and cat food with me.

So nothing for the dispatchers but food for the animals as I find them more friendly and deserving.

 

Two days in a row I've gotten a load that was already in the process of being loaded on to another truck when I arrived then a bogus pickup number for a cancelled load so I'm getting them coal in their stockings.

 

Gifts. Yes. Various, some reflect conversations we've had in the past, others some chocolate, gift cards, cups of candy, double insulated coffee cups, etc.

 

but it usually ends up as cheap whiskey with the blonde from billing with the large chest....
