Declined Loads

I would explain the trailer situation to your DM also, maybe he can get something done in regards to getting it fixed. Take the load and see f they can reschedule the p/u since your issues will delay you in getting to the customer on time.

 

Thats the problem right there!! You work for a crappy company!!

 

You read my mind!!!

 

Unfortunately you are digging yourself a hole that you may not be able to get out of now. You never, ever tell your DM "NO"! No matter how crappy the load. They aren't doing it to punish you. Its a load that needs to be taken care of and they need you to take care of it. This is part of trucking. You will have your good loads and bad loads. When you do favors like this for your DM without question then they know who to come to when they do have good loads. The likely hood of you getting a good load anytime soon is very, very little. Chances are you will be put to the side and your DM is going to deal with the drivers that say yes!

This is not an insult to you, this is how the industry works. Now when you find your miles steadily decreasing in the next few months you will know why. I would strongly advise you to never do this again!

 

Where is the customer at? Maybe we can help with a washout location.

 

+1

In situations like this I give my dispatcher all the pertinent info and let them decide whether or not I get pulled off the load.

 

The company you works for sucks. Find a new job. NOBODY should have to play those types of games.

 

Take hwy 64 back out to the interstate or get off exit 334 just south of Decatur is the Priceville Pilot. I think I heard it's a Love's now?? Not sure?

Anyways act like you are coming out of the truck stop at the light. Instead of turning go straight across Hwy 64. I believe it's the second building on the right. It looks like a 4 or 5 bay truck shop. They do washouts.
