Systems Transport

3 days sitting now. Dropped in Helena this morning and then got sent down to stage in Butte for a genie. With the RGN i'm just over 40k empty. The Genie i'm picking up is 46k. So we agree that i'll need Over Weight permits and possibly OL depending on if i have to stretch it or not. I get to Butte and Dispatch tells me to sit here for the day as we can't load till tomorrow at 0900. I inquire upon compensation for this forced layover and the qualcomm is silent for the last 40 minutes...

I really wish companies would just ask you to quit instead of this whole we're going to starve you out ########. I have enough money to sit at home for the next year right now. I don't need to be wasting my time like this.

Well, i'm going to use all my free time today to start scouting out a new job. Anyone got any recommendations?...

 

He did respond stating that he was ''sure he could get me something''...

I'm not upset about a single layover. I'm upset about 3 layovers in a row directly after a day and a half layover on my last load. I'm not actually upset about any of the layovers though. I'm upset that i'm getting forced layovers and not being paid for them...

Most of all I'm Upset about this

The only good part about this is i can say that i have Stretch Mechanical RGN experience and OW/OL permit load experience for landing my next job.

I'll stay as long as we stay above $1000 on my WGA though

At least until the end of this year. After that my minimum acceptable level will go up as i will be more valuable providing i don't crash between now and then.
