Garner, Findlay Ohio

@Omahabob, i honestly am not sure. i don't believe they do though, nothing ive read or talking to Scott (the recruiter) indicated they do. They don't run weeks out OTR i don't think, they are a smaller company.

 

I sent Scott (the recruiter) and e-mail today to let him know that I put in an on-line app. We'll see if he gets back.

 

Just want to say its a family company if you fit in the operations"family"
In june I told a dispatcher my wife was do anyday and needed to be close
to the yard. On a Monday morning I was driving into Cincinnati and wife called
dr sent her to hospital was going to break water etc at noon. Said I would let them know.
I had a return load from Covington ky on river back to Findlay would get it and then home. Dispatch said ok.
got to shipper laod was cancelled. Called dispatch said " ok ill call and see what was going on. "
20 mins later I called them back and they told me I had a load from Indianapolis to findlay.
I said um wife is in labor.they told me didn't want to dead head me that far. 2 hrs away is to far
I said no im going home. Not only time they tried to screw me up.
Many times sitting waiting for them to find me a load. And miles have dropped over past 4 months.
ready to go bye bye.

 

krazy k so are you on the 4on/4off or the regular regional runs? what kind of miles are you getting?

 

otr 5 to 7 days out. just this week i was at a normal delivery in ny and we deliver there 2 loads a day or everyother day and waited 2 hrs after i was emty before they got me a broker load that was almost 600 miles and it was noon tues it delivered 8 am thursday so i sit 2 long breaks to kill my time.

 

That doesn't sound very good. Isn't there a lot of loads out there to keep you moving? I looked at load boards a few months ago out of curiosity and there were a ton of loads staying in the Midwest area.

 

if waiting 2 hours for a load to be assigned to you is your worst complaint, then i feel pretty comfortable with considering Garner as a place to work.

 

I think where the issue is P/U noon Tuesday, deliver 600 miles away at 8am Thursday. Delivering it Wednesday would make more sense and keep him moving. That's a lot of downtime over 44 hours if I can do math.

 

ah yeah i understand that now. sounds like poor coordination on the part of garner. or that or the dispatcher was garbage.

 

Or, that's whaat the customer requires. I'd call the consignee, and ask them if it can be dropped Wednesday.
