Shaffer Driver Chat Room

I'm Otr but might as well be regional.

 

I don't know what to say both of you guys are getting the short end of it all, the dispatcher that I have, went over to the Crete side, and got a get home load for me, ( 2 days late ) , it was nice pulling a load of toilet paper with out the Reefer unit running. I might just go over to the dry side, Aug I will have been there 1 yr.

Leaving the house this morning, WE-SHALL-SEE

Will update my miles for last week.

Was nice at home time, took the old Harley out for a spin, weather was great, but, busted my ### around the house.

Out of the house run of 500 miles to start,

WE-SHALL-SEE

 

They tried that with me, on the third 200 mile dispatch, I told them to cool it, I was hired as an over the road driver, not local, then the miles increased.

 

Well Got hosed this weekend, was given a 1200 run, pu Sat morning, del mon night, went to the pu, and the place was locked up like a Chruch on monday-morn, after waiting for 2 hrs, and traveling for over an hour, they made some phone calls and no one could figure out which loaded trailer I was to pu, no paper work to be found, and when they did get ahold of a person, no one new which one of the loaded trailers I was to take. LMAO

So I was given the next best thing, travel 200 miles in the other direction, pick it up on sun morn at 0100, and del it 570 miles away tues morning at 0900 WTFO.

Well this week out of the house, I have done 1491 4 days, and my ded-dispacther said I do not know how I am going to pay-ya FOR THE MESS UP, check back with me mon morning. OMG

Also had a DOT insp-passed.

Well, I had two pay problems this week, I gave one to my Driver Mgr, that one was fixed in 2 days, paid me an extra 125 for a mess-up they made.

The other one gave to my support staff at the Term, still waiting for a replie, and was told not to bother them, they will get back to me when they have an answer, ya right, I keep bumping the qual-com info back to them so they wont forget it, and come the 7th day of no answer, I start making waves, over 31 hrs of detention they owe me, 6 weeks ago.

And here's some info for ya to chew on, if I get stuck at a wal=mart and run out of hrs, I was told to call dispatch, and not to find the nearest safe place that is legal to park, they have been known to call a wrecker to tow them to the nearest safe place to legally park.
