did your dispatcher give you a reason for not letting you go by the house with this load?

Instead of driving it like you stole it... Drive it like you got a pair!rabbiporkchop Thanks this. -
usa is for the birds. i wouldn't recommend them to anyone. i use to run sw regional for them. what a joke. i was lucky to get 1500 miles a week. ip/u in dallas alot going to houston. they will give me two days to get there. i would go on and get there early just to be told time and time again that the load couldn"t be rescheduled. go figure. thanks but no thanks.

If I have five days to run a load, and it goes by the house? Guess what....I will be spending four of those days at home with or without anyones permission.
It is MY choice where I park en-route to my delivery....and if my house is not "out-of-route", then that is where I will be parked.
If they 'ping' the truck and find it is parked at my house, and then want to fire me because of it---GOOD fire me.
Sounds to me like some dispatcher just wants the driver to "know who's boss". (if you believe the story)rabbiporkchop and jakecat22 Thank this. -
You're probably at a company that could care less as long as ld gets delivered ontime.With mega carriers,they're more strict and I imagine because of all the new drivers so they can't bend the rules for anybody to trust loads to sit at truckstop close to home unattended.But if I had a big enough lot to take the entire rig home then yes you bet id be doing that.
rabbiporkchop Thanks this. -
You're probably right PattyJ...in 20 years I have only driven for 2 large companies. J.B. Hunt, who never got me home in the 8 weeks I was there...so parking at home was not an issue with them. LOL! And Knight Transportation; who let me park at home, but I had to prove with pictures that I actually had a secure spot at my residence for both tractor and trailer, because I believe the rule was that your tractor/trailer could not be split. I had 3 acres of property at the house, and could plug the truck in.
Otherwise; the small or medium companies never had an issue with me parking at home, or going through the house on loads that went that way. -
Who brings up a 6+ year old thread? The OP probably ain't around anymore....
rabbiporkchop and Reycer Thank this.
