    But if it is forced dispatch, then they can fire you if you dont take the local. Wanted to find out from other drivers what they know about this. thx.

    Also, i heard that they dont pay much for local, and it can be hard to get paid for what you did. They only pay the miles and need to be reminded more than once about the hourly pay.
