yea seems like theres more stuff coming from the west heading out to the east, but not the other way around. was in GA yesterday, got a dispatch for pickup at tip top, to chicago area (broadview), picked up friday evening dropping off monday morning, its bout 700 miles

 

not sure why you didn't ask for idle time credit...
There is no reason to be charged

The short distance Friday pick-up/Monday deliveries are crap, but those places don't have weekend hours, nothing you can do about that

 

He shouldn't have to ask for idle credit when frieght is that slow in his area. He continually gets screwed coming off home time. I am amazed that you have stuck it out at May for as long as you have Plat.

You got your year in, stick it out until you hear from Don over at Furniture Row. You will be very happy you did.

 

YOU ALWAYS have to ask for the credit. He is not the only driver they have to keep track of there.
If he leaves, who is going to complain and whine all the time on here?

 

May trucking lies to its drivers all the time. How can they say low shipping when others get loads all the time. It is called the good old boy system. It is just like you have how many people sitting waiting for loads over the weekend. You give a pta then as well you give them notice of ontime delivery so why cant they get you scheduled? Oh they have only one planner on weekend but us drivers are 24/7. DM's think they are the boss and tell drivers oh why cant you make it. it is only such an such. if you refuse then you are black balled, sitting somewhere. Just dont get injured. they will ruin you.

 

I mentioned meeting Pat ONE TIME, and all the sudden he's my buddy, and giving me extra miles? WTFE! If you're such the consummate professional why do you get these crap loads, miles, and complain and whine all the time?
