Yeah, I'm thinking after a few phone calls, that'll be the turning point. Lost a whole days work over the start of this load, and half a day after so far, will be 2 days total, and all only due to someone not doing thier job. My p'net is apparently for decoration, as I've only gotten 2 messages replied to, and both were canned messages. Had the others been properly responded to, I wouldn't have wasted a single minute. I totally get that this'll happen occasionally, but t so far it's. Been. Every. Single. Day. *Facepalm*

You are the low man on the totem pole. You are getting the trucks that other drivers used to have before they got newer trucks.
That said, what you are describing would be driving me batty. Sitting still when I have driving hours is painful.
In your situation, as I understand it, I would be talking CALMLY with whoever assigns loads. When you get a stinker, take it, but ask whoever assigns loads to look out for you on the next load.
If you really are getting all the #### loads, it might not get any better until someone else is hired, lower on the totem pole than you. That's a f'ed up way to run a company though, and if that's really what is happening, and it happens for more than a couple weeks (long enough for it to no longer just be a test of your temper) I'd start looking for a different company to work for.x1Heavy Thanks this. -
I'm pretty sure my temper is being put to the test, for sure. Lol. And I do any loads, even the sh$-+ loads, those are miles. It's the gaps that kill me.
