Is it slow season now?

A good load?

So you did find loads.

Be cheerful on the most junk crappy filthy load and smile at your dispatcher in prosperity and joy. Maintain that morale around them.

The good loads that excite your blood and gets it stirring as it did in your youth once will get moving again when the happy dispatcher hands you a gravy run. For not quitting, complaining or whining etc. (Do that on your own time lol)

 

It'll be slow for the next 3 months or so.

 

New drivers are always kept busy. Then, at 6mos, you're not a new driver anymore and the miles drop. After 6mos you begin 'proving' yourself and, if you succeed, miles pick back up again.

 

Ain’t nothing coming out of San Diego but beach sand

 

Not even for tacos?

 

God we should shackle all dispatchers to the same pay as their drivers.

What the driver makes or does not make, so goes the dispatcher with the same low pay or no pay.

 

Maybe so. In some places the dispatcher would have to take a pay cut if he wanted the same pay as the driver.
A good dispatcher is harder to find than a good driver.
