Some awesome tips in here. One big one I can think of. If you get frustrated, don't get mean with your FM. I know they are your first contact, but remember, they're answering to the planners and CS . Often it's not their fault. Express your concerns, but don't get mean and nasty. One you tarnish that relationship with your FM, you're going to struggle to get them to have your back.

One very good tip is, "Don't Dawdle"! If you are paid by the mile you need to keep the wheels turning. Learn to manage your clocks down to the minute. As another driver mentioned, I too use my GPS to plan all my stops the night before. I also camp out at the cons when I have early appointments. I back in and stay in the sleeper while they unload. I change my status as soon as I can. With Drop and Hooks I use in the sleeper while unloading and only 3 min for a veh inspection then Im off and running. I also send a free form message right away asking for my next load assignment. and I alway's say THANK YOU , a little sugar goes along way!Moving Forward and Scott72 Thank this. -

i have not read this whole thread but my number uno advise........................ don't let weekend/night people dispatch you. They are worse than bad, they suck, I've been at Roehl for close to 6 years.
Make sure your Fm dispatches you through the weekends/holidays , etc. If your FM won't ppl you get a new one. I have a good one, Mellisa,out of Ellenwood.Bayle Thanks this. -
