That's just it. The old system was already shorting the miles and now on the new system I'm coming up 75 miles shorter for the same trip. They...
I don't have personal experience, but I would think that extra mileage wouldn't make any difference to the company. Every mile they pay out under...
Well, I have to say there are a couple of positives with the new TMW system. Last week was the first run I've done since taking over this route a...
They have some autos and are buying more, but they're far from being all autos at this point. Not much chance of you getting a brand new auto as a...
Why not log the unload and pre-trip at the same time?
That will reset your 11 and your 14 will have started at the end of your 8 in the sleeper. So you'll have 11:45 left on your 14.
Yep. On my current trip I even had to reply on an arrived and a departed message for my border crossing. One DM let slip that fuel solutions are...
Well these new dispatches do indeed suck. You get 2 messages per drop on a multi-drop load and each message has to be replied to twice. I have 9...
Just eat it raw. It'll put some hair on your chest.

Yeah that having to reply through multiple screens for every step of the dispatch promises to be a real pita. I also don't like the fact that you...
They went with a different software package for managing loads. When the new software went live Sunday night it reset everything on the Qualcom...
You can just feel the love in this room... LOL
That 2¢ a mile is nothing compared to what they stand to save on payroll taxes alone.
So I guess we're down to two System drivers and one JJW driver. Interesting. I assumed that was done company wide. Maybe they figure you guys...
I'm surprised that nobody made any noise when they rolled out the new program and insisted it was such a good deal that they were going to sign...
They need a "just talking about my job" section.
Something positive..... Let me think.... LOL Seriously, I actually like my job regardless of all the things I can and do complain about. For...
I don't know if your dispatcher is still going to call and go over the load with you. But I think their big thing with this new software is being...
Everybody I've talked to on the NW regional fleet says their paychecks became noticably smaller after they went to that sliding pay scale.
