Companies that offer MINIMAL contact with dispatch

Gilster Mary-Lee. Just call in Friday for your weekend run and call backhaul when you're empty. Only talk to people when calling for loads. Other than that you don't have to talk to anyone unless there's an issue

 

one phone call per day

When I worked for Big G Express, I would go days without talking to anyone. Only when there was some type of anomaly or problem with the load.

 

Danny Herman lets you do your job. You won't hear from them unless you need something or there is an issue.

 

Schneider.......I never talk to them or they me unless its urgent........customer refuses load, urgent. Drop and hook turns into a live, not urgent.

 

pretty much my experience, but sometimes they get pretty annoying when they message you about stupid things.

 

I'm at Veriha now and I mostly communicate through the Rand computer. Actual phone calls are rare and my DM prefers to just use messaging instead of fielding tons of calls from drivers.

I've wondered if there are similar deals for Yard Switcher jobs. Can you just receive the trailer numbers or dock numbers over a computer or those Talzon scanners Walmart uses? There is a weird quirk with my hearing or something; I can have a really hard time understanding what people say over CBs, Walky-Talkies, or Intercoms.

 

Conway truckload now XPO I had little to no contact with dispatch. Everything was done through QCOM
