    Sounds reasonable. That’s not how it’s done at my company . You get in line once you put in your empty call. You cannot get a load until you are 100% empty. Last year I got popped for pretending I was empty before I was.
    My point is that I believe load planners and dispatchers are handicapped by the need to keep everybody rolling. If someone needs to get rolling sooner than someone else, they get attended to first. Even if it’s not fair.

    This is not a new phenomenon. It's been this way from the beginning, and more so with the advent of the mega carriers, and the steering wheel holder.

    There is X amount of freight that needs to be moved.
    The steering wheel holder cannot move the good drivers freight, because he will in fact F it all up.

    So yes, in the world of the mega carrier, the better drivers are punished.

    Again, I don't understand why IluvCATS can't be more of a team player.

    Screw that noise, I'm calling my dispatcher at 3pm to say "hey, I'll be pulling in about this time tomorrow, what's the plan after?" I'll usually get "alright I'll start looking now" or "we got you a reload bringing you back to X" maybe im spoiled

    Beware they keyboard ninja. Or ninja's in general. Their a crafty sort.

    If you can see them, it's a bad parade.

    When you have to defend yourself from Keyboard ninjas, an warriors, only one keyboard gets the job done.

    I hear the last one is about to be banned, you should act now if your interested in it.

    Where Ninja's really learned the art of blending in..

    Laugh, it won't kill you. If it does though, at lest you'll die with a smile.

    Some need constant hand holding and to be told what to do next which takes the time from others, some you give basic information and if it is missing some important information it still gets done and completed. they just hoping some start thinking and doing.

    This is the way the socialist movement is making the entire world....

    It's reminiscent of the reagan-era communist movement that was crushed thank God.

    All jokes aside this is a very serious problem with Society right now the failure prone and Underachievers are being heavily rewarded and compensated to try to make them"EQUAL" ........

    THE REALITY IS IT DOESN'T WORK.
