Schneider dead air - weekend dispatch.

Who are the after hours dispatchers for the East Coast? Contact numbers please. Schneider hasn't provided them.

Every Friday by lunch time, the dispatchers located in the Pacific Time Zone vanish mid conversation, when they are asked to set up a weekend load. My husband always gets stranded every weekend, and is forced to take his reset before he needs one. From Friday at lunch through Monday lunch time, nobody is around to respond.

On another note, typical load offers go like this. A solo driver has two hours left of drive time for the day. They ask if he wants a load located six hours away from his current drop off, due to be delivered within three hours.

Sometimes when the arrangement does work out, someone has already taken the load a little at a time and never told the dispatcher. Or, the business asks you to hang out for four hours or more so they can load your trailer.

No problems here..

On a good note the DBL gets stuff done, but shouldn't have to!

 

Our depot is in Jacksonville FL.

So he was told there should be some weekend guys to call after hours. so far nobody told him who that should be, just "will get back to you." His DBL is new as well, so its not easy getting the right info and for him to keep moving.

He sat for over 60 hours this weekend.
