    Yeah it's not too bad. In our van division, what made me mad was the 300 mile runs and 2 days to get it there with an appointment at the end. It was and actually still is like that. Sometimes our planners don't exactly....apply themselves.

    That's exactly it man. In flatbed I actually have a dispatcher who tries to get me 600+ mile runs. My shortest run in flats has been 500 miles but that would be pickup Monday afternoon deliver Tuesday at noon.

    Things like that I don't mind.

    Longest deadhead was 634 miles to get home once, took two days to get home lol. Well me anyway in my 63mph truck

    Uggh, Flatbed dispatchers. There never has been a good one in the history of your company.

    You should have seen me the last two weeks, I dispatched my drivers and played games on my phone, that was it. The Ops Manager came over one day to ask me a question and I told him to wait a minute because I wasn't done playing.
