Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

Your lucky. I was dispatched on a load out of there Saturday only to be told that I was in the wrong location. Turns out my load was 'allegedly' ready in Willmar, but sent to me with a St. Cloud p/u. So I call Ashley and she sends me the location and I head there. Load was suppose to be ready before I arrived, but at 15:45 it was finally loaded...the bad news is it was a 4 stop, the 1st was 4 a.m. (36 hrs later) in Mt. Juliet, to which I was late, and was also late for my 7 a.m. 2nd stop in Nashville...and my 4th stop in Humboldt was due at 4 this am, but my 3rd stop delayed me to within an hour of my 14, so I couldn't make it on time...now I am waiting to deliver the rescheduled load tomorrow. 1300 mile run, 4.5 days. Just another wonderful day in Snackbar-land. (And the load before that was delayed 6 hours, which screwed my 14 yet again).

Not sure who scheduled these loads, but someone needs a map. 1st stop NE of Nashville, 2nd stop off the NW side of Nashville, 3rd stop Shelbyville (SE of Nashville), 4th stop Humboldt.

 

Thanks for this post!! I was beginning to have Super snack bar withdrawls!! Better uhh (luck) next load hopefully!!

Poor guy can't catch a break.

 

Yeah right. 2 stopper...finals in Philly on Friday afternoon.

 

Yeah dispatch admitted they forgot to call and apologized right away so its all good, I came up to St. Cloud last night so I have a fresh 10 to work with.

As a reward I'm reloading out of AR headed for OR so in the end all is good... unless there are other delays I will be able to make both of my appointments, I agree it sucks when all stops need to be rescheduled. The original shipment was delayed due to production delays so the setback wasn't Magnum's fault...

 

Yeah not ideal, well hopefully you'll find a hiding hole near food dude...

 

I got my hazmat pay and everything. I was referring to the driver statistics they post for every month in the employee portal. There is a line for hazmat loads and mine says 0.00 for May even though I hauled one. May was the first month working for Magnum I hauled a hazmat.

Something I will give Magnum orientation credit for, its hazmat review is thorough. Got my hazmat 2 years ago but hadnt used it which means everything I learned had long abandoned my memory.

 

Looks like a common theme in here today. I'm at Kay Chemical in Winston Salem. My appointment was 1:15pm but they told me the order had not been pulled yet. It should be ready around 7pm they said. They also said they sent an email to the carrier this morning, nobody told me though. I think I would have rather slept in at home this morning than get the inevitable detention pay.

 

Yeah should check with dispatch to see if they ever got the notice, the last time a load rescheduled on me before today when I informed dispatch it was the first they'd heard of it.

Some of our customers just love to pull the switch, though I thought Kay was pretty steady, now our turkey shipping friends, that's another story lol

 

That line in the statistics page is not for the miles. If you didn't have your hazmat endorsement it would say -2. So basically you don't lose any points for not having the endorsement....

 

Reload tomorrow at the water place in Pleasant prairie going to West Fargo ND.
Will they load early?
Does anybody know
Got a 0800 appt
