Lease contractor

You can find another company to work for

 

Trucks break down sometimes

 

That's how it is when you're lease onto to a Carrier. Some told me when I was leased onto a Carrier I'm just a 'Glorified Truck Driver'. I never let that insult get to me because the carrier I was signed to had work and I never had to hustle and they showed respect to me as a O/o. I always say that a 'Dispatcher' can make and break a company in a lot of ways especially when their Egos take off from gaining more power from Owners and Managers. I run my own Authority now but it is rough out there however no one can tell me what to do because I'm operating on my own. Times are difficult especially with these tariffs kicking in. If you can't find another carrier to sign onto then have a sit down with Management about the situation.

 

If the loads you want outweigh the ones you don’t you could just smile and do the work if the money is worth it. If not then you’ll have to take your truck and go someplace else. I’ve always been leased to a carrier and if things stop working the way I’d like them to, for one reason or another, I give it about two months. If there’s no correction I move on.

 

You were looking for a job when ya found this one . As with anything if you're willing to work there are employers looking to hire you .

 

Probably be better off to actively seek out something different to do instead of waiting for someone to come along and offer something better.
