Ask A Dispatcher anything

I'm still here. There's a difference between people asking a question, and then people dogpiling on me over the assumption that I throw drivers under the bus by the dozens because it's fun. To date, I have never called a receiver and blamed a late load on a lack of driver responsibility or anything else. What I stated is that I was done talking about this subject (or otherwise defending myself from being harangued on an internet forum). Out of 75 posts on this thread, 23 have been about this single topic. And at this point, no matter what I say about this topic is going to be interpreted as either an admittance of perceived guilt or defending that perceived guilt. If that is taken as me being thin-skinned, then I can't help that.

I understand that this is a touchy topic (don't forget, I'm a driver with well over 1 million miles under my belt). But bandwagons are very easy to jump on, and that's what's happening here. So if you have a question, ask. Otherwise, enjoy talking amongst yourselves.

I’m not at all surprised that kind of thing happens.

Same thing as when I was a teenager working at Pizza Hut. A customer would call and ask the manager hey I ordered an hour ago where’s my pizza. And the manager would say sorry the driver got lost. But I knew it was BS and the manager just didn’t put the order in and it’s easier to blame the driver.

This kind of thing happens in all industries.

Same as in the military.

Nothing is ever anyone’s fault. It’s always this other guy that is to blame.
