Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

I’m laying in bed laughing and almost woke my girl up. LOL

 

That’s what I keep hearing but #### it’s taking weeks to get a trainer. May look elsewhere. But I keep hearing good things about them. Idk.

 

Well. Did I jinx this or something? Angie's gone now, that sucks. Not sure what happened but she was always really nice to me and very prompt about handling issues that I had in a timely manner (not that I had to contact her much).

Hope her replacement is as nice/as good as she was. Dispatchers really can make or break a company and what kind of experience you have at a company. We'll see what happens.

 

@cdavis188 how's it going now that you're out of Kansas instead of Michigan now? Has your experience gotten better as far as deadhead miles for your load home?

 

I just accepted a job offer for Magnum. They are short on trainers, so they won't have one available for me until the end of October. It's no fun going that long without a paycheck, but I figure that once you get through the first month of waiting, and another month of training, then I can enjoy being with what sounds like a really good company for quite a while after that. I'm really looking forward to getting started!

 

I just accepted too. They told me end of October as well. Hopefully they’re as good as others are saying. It’s a long way from home lol.

 

Good luck. Maybe we will be in orientation together!

 

Sorry i haven't been on recently, just been busy (I totally didn't forget about this thread or anything ). Finished my delivery and am here at the Rochelle Petro taking a much needed 34. I reset my trip odometer when i came out of hometime on the 30th and it says 3,530.9 miles as of now. I'm sure paid miles aren't far behind. Not bad for a weeks worth of work.

 

Not really. Last time i had hometime they had my deadhead home from DFW. Though that was because A. my 70 was spent when i got there and therefor i couldn't pick up my reload, and B. i didn't want to be late for hometime, which would have happened because of said clock situation. Never said i was the absolute best at time management

With that being said, I love it when your clock is almost spent, or you're running on recaps (which was my case), and dispatch gives you a load that won't work with either situation. It takes all of maybe a minute to pull up said driver's clock and see what their hours are. Then the broker pulls the load because it has to be shipped on time. Probably my biggest qualm with Magnum. A lot of headaches could be avoided if they took 30 seconds out of their day to look at clock situations.
