    Think i need different dispatch. That or im working for a different Act . I know there 1 in utah there out of business. Im not in utah . Let see there 1 in memphis . They have cooper tire Acct. Nope i was right im working for the same 1 as you just got a terrible dispatcher . leaves me sitting alot . but still putting food on the table. Do you have same dispatch as the one we meet in orientation. If so whats the deal. Must be my elogs holding him up. Since march 3rd(saturday) ive only got 950miles and today is wed. And im sitting again waiting for a load thursday noon that haS 59deadhead miles. going to columbus for a friday 1500 delivery. That makes 950+59+524=1533miles on friday 1533miles in 6days= 255mi a day avg. Hopefully i get more foe weekend. Suks i live north columbus 55mi, cant afford to go home.

    My buddy just quite there after only 4 weeks. He was leasing and only brought home aroung $1500 for that time period. One week he only brought home $70! His dispatcher was obviously not worth a poo cause my buddy likes to run hard, real hard. Heck he may have started with yall. Anyway after sitting 4 days he took the truck back, explained why and nobody questioned him. I hope you have better luck than him.
