Refusing to bring home, answers?

5 days is a long time in trucking. I would wait to see if he gets home on the 13th first. If he does then his dispatcher did her job.

 

Well that is north but not east. But yeah I guess.

 

Ok you appear to be having a melt down about the dispatcher.

I am out.

 

Yeah but you are implying it is personal. Probably not. Probably a load they would like to do because it pays and is getting push back about sometime that is 5 days from now.

I agree with the other guys if your worried about pay quit now.

 

Greetings....
He should E-Mail the "Load Planner" with Copy to Dispatch Manager. (No phone calls) There is No record of the conversation that way. ( Inquire about a Load going Home). If that does not work and the situation continues then write a certified Letter to the President of the Company.
Happy Trails..!!
Of course....this action has Merit ...if it is a continued situation.

 

Being at a small 5-8 truck operation that probably relies 100% on broker loads, and living in Phoenix? I can tell you this is going to be an ongoing problem. These small places go where it's convenient to go and the fact they run out east tells me this is probably where they prefer to operate and are comfortable operating.

Good luck, but you're probably going to need to find a "stronger carrier" who can better support you in the Phoenix area and who places a high priority on honoring reasonable home time requests.
