Ever get a run that you dread?

The runs I dread usually start after ordering a combo meal around 2am at Taco Bell.

 

Everyday i turn the key its a run i regret.... j/k.

 

Sure, I take them all the time.Gets me great stuff to go with the bad stuff. Remember, when you do something no one else wants to do, your dispatcher should remember it the next time you need a favor. Sometimes you have to remind them, though.

 

I have noticed that if you take a unfun run, and do it cheerfully everytime. Usually the guys that complain about said run get it more often.

 

I am gonna be the guy that takes no fun runs and help the dispatchers out when everyone else complains

 

That's the way to do it. Then they will think of you when the runs you like pop up. Letti in our dispatch office does outbound loads from El Paso most of the time and knows I like the northwest runs to Washington and Oregon. So when she has one on her desk and knows I'm inbound, she'll hold it and offer me it first because I've taken plenty of crap short runs to San Antonio and SoCal runs off her "to do" list.

 

Gotta go, got the runs!
