Midwest coast transportation too much dwn time

This company has really gone down the tubes. Guess preplan means get empty then wait for next load, get tired waiting so you call, "Oh you are mt, guess we will look for a load." So much for the pre part of preplan. Then there is the numerous breakdowns! And forget calling dispatch, they don't have time to talk to drivers. In fact, even the supervisors won't talk to drivers, my so called fleet manger "He wont call or talk to you!" So I guess drivers are supposed to be team players but are not treated as a valuable part of the team.

Too often a 2-3 day run is planned at 5 days, sit idle with load waiting for del appt! Forget layover pay too, it won't cover expenses while you are waiting for repairs or del/rec appt.

 

so......... duh. not very constructive there. origanal post was Informational.

 

actually there is plenty of frieght. but there is a serious conflict. they have o/o, company drivers, and brokerage. They just need to plan better.

 

that was a stretch cause im the one gets hot/late loads and runs through slick conditions.
