<p>[QUOTE=&quot;truckinmike1984, post: 3966828, member: 119102&quot;]I have never followed Arnold&#039;s routing...going back to June of 2010. I always go the quickest way. A lot of times their route has you take US Highways. I just take the interstates unless my pickup or drop is way off the interstate. But I always try to make their fuel stops unless I don&#039;t like their fuel solution then I call fuel department and request authorization to fuel at which ever truck stop I like. I usually try to pick one&#039;s I&#039;ll be stopping at for the night. They try to intimidate the drivers into thinking we must fuel at their stops on the fuel solution dispatch. They Ialso try scaring drivers into thinking they must follow their routing specifically to a t. Yes sometimes their routing is the shortest route...but it also is usually longer by a few hours atleast than if you would route yourself. I take my own routes and they don&#039;t say anything about it as long as I fuel within the network even if I changed my original fuel stops. It also helps that I haven&#039;t had a service failure since I started in 2010. It isn&#039;t a bad company to work for despite all the whining people do on this site about the company. Sure it has its good parts n bad parts. No company is perfect just as no driver is perfect. You just have to find what company fits you n your preferences and make a go at it. But sitting here complaining about your company doesn&#039;t do any good lol. If you&#039;re that unhappy why don&#039;t you try finding another job? You are getting mad at things beyond your control. Just try and relax and breath. I haven&#039;t had the issues with csr that you describe but I also run out of Jacksonville. Only times I&#039;ve gotten all 5&#039;s or all 0&#039;s in my load info on the customer is when&#039;s it&#039;s a new customer to Arnold or if it&#039;s a hated broker load. I&#039;ve somehow in almost 4yrs been lucky enough that I&#039;ve never had to stop by or go to the grand prairie terminal for anything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
