Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

It's days like these that make me wish I woulda went flatbed. Show up early, guy says that it's a 1530 appt. Come back at 1430. I show up at 1430, it's a different guy, guess it was shift change. New guy says 1530 appt, come back at 1515. I come back at 1515, plenty of open doors, but takes my name and number, says he will call when he has a door. Now it's after 1600, no call and the 14hr coach is about to turn into a punkin. If it weren't for the fact that my home load will be waiting for me at CR, I'd be upset. Right now I am hoping to have enough hours to make it out of the state.

 

Yeah they are by far one of our worst clients...

 

Honestly, I think this is not only screwing up my delivery tomorrow, but the delivery of my home load. 3 out of every 4 loads I get are this screwed up. Honestly, is Magnum getting so desperate for freight that they are the catch-all for f'd up customers?

 

Just take a breath, if you have a critical hometime deadline work with dispatch and try to get a relay if needed they've done it for others...

 

At least Magnum plans to get you home, I'm really surprised I made it home this time.
Looks like you're gonna be home for the 4th, have fun

 

My hometime arrival isn't the issue, it's a 1am Friday delivery appt, which means now I will have to use both Weds and Thursday's hours to deliver, then take a break before getting to go home....after 7 weeks on the road. After the last 1/2 dozen loads having to be rescheduled because of this same stuff, it is really getting old. And yes, I know this isn't Magnum's fault...still doesn't tame my savage beast.

 

Sure will, burning the phone lines up calling recruiters.

I never did hear from the yahoo's in the shop about getting my truck's warranty issue done on home time, so I guess it doesn't get done...but it's not my job to remind them to do their job, they're big boys

 

Anyone know if Americold in Rochelle has overnight parking on site?

 

Did you ask Chinatown lately?
Oh and taking a break so you can get home sucks,

 

I have 3 or 4 companies on my short list, plan on calling them on hometime and make a final decision before I leave. While there, unload all but the essential stuff on the truck. That way, if it keeps up like this...it's Alpha...Mike...Foxtrot
