Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

I had quite a few of these issues. The first few weeks I came back and I texted Kutter that if this is how it’s gonna be, I’m gonna return the truck to the nearest terminal and leave again and not come back… Send send I’ve had very few issues that have affected my miles

 

I mean let them dispatch it. It’s on them when they didn’t pay attention and realize that you’re in the shop.

 

I'm glad I don't have to deal with any of this corporate/mega carrier bs

Our breakdown department is probably the best thing about my company. They will bend over backwards for you

 

SSB this is how you deal with it.. preplanned yesterday for a load picking up today between 1400 and 2200… i leave the house approximately 7 to 7:30 in the morning and I drive three hours back up to Wilmer as I pull into the yard at around 11:30. They call me and tell me that the pre-plan was changed and they have another load that has to deliver by Tuesday night in South Carolina same exact load that I was preplanned on as far as going to a Walmart…

I have to go to a customer to pick up an empty trailer, which happens to be half empty on fuel so I have to go fuel it up and get it washed out..

I told him that it’s not gonna make midnight tomorrow so they respond by saying we’re gonna have to repower because it has to be there on time and as you could see by my message to response to that is that’s exactly what I’m gonna do and they know dang well that I will do that and I don’t back down and they realize it at this point… and according to my asset manager, he says he was never notified of them changing the load. I don’t know if that’s the truth or not because he sent a message this morning at 7:30 asking if I was in the truck when I’m never in the truck that early in the morning I come back

also was supposed to pick up at 1600 yesterday

 

at 1633 today I get a message saying the trailer is now preloaded so basically the shipper is 24 hours behind schedule loading the trailer and they think the appointment is gonna still be for tomorrow night at midnight… I’m 969 miles away and I still haven’t picked the trailer up… that’s why I already told dispatch I’ll be there early Wednesday morning

 

@drvrtech77 I jad something similar happen this weekend. I come out of the house Sunday afternoon. Friday I was preplanned on a load going to San Antonio for 0300 Monday morning. Get to the truck with my lunch about 1430 Sunday and double check my load assignment and delivery time was pushed back to 0500 Tuesday. Lucky for me someone fell off a load right after calling dispatch about that

 

if you want clarification on just how dumb people are in this industry...
