Breakdown saga.

An office guy or undercover dispatcher? That's the best any of you can come up with? Really, that's the most creative thing any of you can come up with?

I broke down for 5 days in portland and got breakdown pay for all 5 days. I broke down 3 days at home and didn't get paid for any. Not one company I have even worked for in O TR, LTL, or local work work paid for a loss of work due to the truck being broke down at a terminal I was based out of. It as makes no sense whatsoever and I challenge either of you to prove it otherwise and please elaborate something beyond insulting the carrier or bawling about how the driver is getting screwed.

Suppose He was at home and the truck worked but he had to wait 3 days for a load, should he then get layover pay?

 

...YUP!...UNDERCOVER DISPACHTER YOU ARE!...YOU HAVE PROVEN MY STATEMENT WITH YOUR LAST PARAGRAPH - A cRaZy NON-SENSICAL COMMENT!.......W-T-H! ONLY A DISPATCHER WOULD HAVE A COMMENT LIKE THAT! SOoooo GLAD I FOUND A REALLY GREAT PROFESSIONAL COMPANY. SOoooo GLAD YOU WILL NEVER BE MY DISPATCHER. TEEHEE!!!

 

....hey dispatcher scythe08!...what's 2 + 2?...it's really simple!

 

A sure fire way of identifying a poster who is immature and does not have an intelligent argument to make is when they start accusing another poster they do not agree with of being a dispatcher, recruiter, or broker.

You sound like a child making posts like that, who do you think you’re impressing?

I seen nothing in scythe08’s post that would indicate anything other than he has a different option then you on what layover and breakdown pay is for. At least he can articulate his position, you just sound like a two year old calling names.

 

You are exactly right Ubu. I was out of line in my post, (# 17 in this thread,) as well. I apologize to all.

 

I wish you the best of luck with your new job and I would find it interesting if you made a new thread about it.
You have a great attitude and it will stand you apart from a lot of other drivers. I wish you the best.

 

If you are broke down and at home AND you request a loaner while waiting, you should get breakdown pay regardless if they do not provide you with a loaner. If you are broke down and sitting at home and didn't take the initiative to request a loaner, you shouldn't get paid. IMO

 

Good luck with whoever you get on with now, sorry it didn't work out with schneider.
