Crete's Asset Manager program

I like mine. Im running 2700+ miles weekly and he is always cool.

 

This is very much a position that either you have the abilities and talents to be a good one, or you don't. My gut feeling is that a number of people were pressed into service as AMs without more than a few hours training. That is no more sufficient than a few hours being enough to do our jobs out on the road.

I try to be patient....I don't ever want their job, and I don't have the abilities necessary to be a good AM. But when it hurts income, a driver has to do something, and hopefully a company will be receptive in return. Unfortunately, it often doesn't work out that way.

 

AM is on vacation this week. She went last Wednesday right after having me load a 1,667 mile load and drop it in Omaha, for a team to take to Stockton, CA, then going to get the load I am delivering right now (1,553 miles) In Riverside, CA. First time to CA in a while.

 

alright no haters but i have the best a.m. this company has to offer,she came from the old school sunflower and now is shaffer... my day goes to crap if she is not in the whatchtower while im at the helm..dont get me wrong i have had some downs,but not like before a.managers. i might break 100.000 miles this year 1st time in 3 years without a a.m.

 

I'm not gonna say much , I just started with Shaffer , was told in Lenoir City who my AM was gonna be. Wrong , it's someone else. Now AM's or DM's , are kinda useless if they're here today gone tomorrow. No one wants to have to melt through the ice and get to know the guy he's doing the dirty deed for , just to find out , that just as things started getting pretty good , he's gone , and the new guy comes in with a new block of ice for you to have to melt down.
Another wards changing of your DM or AM constantly is about the same as switching jobs , ya just keep starting all over again.
