Ran th Golden Triangle tonite dis patch has figured away out of turning the Golden triangl into a bronz triangle by not giving me no splits and not bringing me all the way back loaded. Oh well still made ot in under 11 hours.
Good to have Will back at the call center some one who can make good timely decisions and you can still clown with. I don't know if he got demoted or not but if he did get demoted it is the first time some one I liked and respected glad to get demoted. I guess I am just selfish like that

Havn't had to use the call center too much lately ... when I do ... it seems like Bill and Ken and Dave do a great job for me. Miss Marlow quite a bit ... do you know what happened?
Hey, when are we gonna get those new trucks ... we're running rentals ... our old trucks stay in the shop ... it's getting pathetic

Who took whose split pay????????

Oh that!!! WEll, yeah ... that's just dispatch trying to build a better mouse trap.
They may start you out doing a load that requires you to go to two terminals and drop it at 2 stores ... however, as time goes by, if they can find another store that will load out of the same terminal and still accomplish what they were trying to accomplish with the split then they can reduce the cost for the customer and reduce compensation for the driver.
For instance ... I used to run 3233 in Florence which loaded out of Citgo and split it with 3981 in Monroe loading out of Kinder Morgan 2 (the old Exxon terminal). That would pay about $147 for the load. It looks like they are possibly going to change that to running a 3233 split with 3227 ... both located in Florence so you will still get a split for drop pay .... but both stores load out of Citgo so you will lose a split for pick up pay which saves the customer about $15/load.
It's all about jiggling this stuff around until you achieve maximum profit for the customer and minimum pay for the driver ... which makes customer happy because they don't have to pay as much ... and driver more intellegent as he comes to understand corporate America just a little better.
In this business you've GOT to be flexible because change is gonna come ... when you're through changing, you're through. But it works both ways ... just remember that the president od today is the postage stamp of tomorrow.
Stay Chilly!
