    My co. has ELD's set to, if there's someone on sleeper berth, messages are blocked until they change their status to a non-sleeper. Then the message comes in. Management here are ex-drivers, they know the game and they know how dispatchers can be aswell. Dispatchers are instructed to only call a driver in change of plans or anything emergency-related otherwise I dont hear a call and I really dont either. Lol.

    Is it normal for a dispatcher to repeatedly call you more then once during the day while you are driving to deliver just to tell you to hurry up? If not how do I file a complaint or who do I talk too about this?

    Either speed up or turn your phone off. I hate people calling me when I'm going as hard as I can.

    Now, if you got yourself behind for some reason, I can see a few calls.

    Answer the phone and tell him/her your flux capacitor is discombobulated and you are proceeding at less than light speed.
