Freight levels seem to be dropping a little bit. My run was cut on Friday. Fortunately a senior driver wanted the night off and slid his run down to me so I ended up running the 500m meet. The weird thing to me, when I got to the relay point was probably 3/4 of the drivers pulling in had a pup and a dolly, but no kite.
I got to the meet point about 15-20 minutes before the meet driver arrived, so I had time to fuel up and when I called dispatch to "arrive" me at the location (my handheld was being difficult) I discovered that I was to take what the meet driver brought me (which was another pup and dolly), hook an empty and go to the hub that is 12 miles away to pick up another trailer for my center.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
The first time I did a meet, the other driver brought me just one trailer and a dolly, and 100% of the bills on the trailer was city freight for the hub in my area. My dispatch instructions said to go back to my terminal, and my handheld said the same thing. Called central just to make sure and was told my dispatch is correct, I'm to bring it back to my terminal. I wanted to make extra sure I wasn't screwing up, so I called the dispatcher at the hub and turns out they definitely needed that freight and wanted the name of the dispatcher at central who told me otherwise so they could get the correct trip loaded.McUzi and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -

Went into the weekend receiving a text message from a 650 area code number. I had previously applied to UPS in Salt Lake City a long time ago while seriously considering leaving the excrement hole of the northeast.
I figured that it was a robo text and wanted to mess with it. Much to my surprise they responded lol. I just wish I could make it work with a large family and stay at home wife, that pay progression is brutal.Attached Files:
