Forced dispatch, forced Dispatch, forced dispatch.
They will show what they need move regardless of the load pays..and if you choose not to accept the load they will put a hold on you anywhere from 48 to 72 hrs. Suspend you ...
They will also force to arrive at terminals of their choice.

I've always found it curious that a company driver should have this complaint.
ChicagoJohn, Gunner75, bzinger and 1 other person Thank this. -
crb Thanks this.

A company driver wouldn't have a similar concern?
-
No. I don't care what the load pays. I get paid a fixed amount per mile regardless of what the load pays.
I don't care if the company owes the customer to haul the load. I still get paid my cpm. -
But your cpm is still based on a fixed number, right?
If so, are you shown that number up front? -
We might be talking two different things. I think of load pay as the pay a company gets to haul the load. *Most* company drivers get paid cpm. We don't care what the load rate is.
IOW, the company may have agreed to haul the load for x amount per mile. That hasn't nothing to do with what I get paid per mile.
I know there are company drivers that work on percentage so, obviously, they'd care what the load paid.
I just figured the op might be an owner op based on how he worded his complaint: "the load pay". -
Well, a roofing manufacturer I hauled out of years ago used to note distance in miles to a consignee on their BOLs. Stands to reason they're not the only ones to do that.
For example, a company driver getting paid at a rate of .50 cpm picks up a load going somewhere 300 miles away according to said BOL. Theoretically, the load pays $150 regardless of how he actually runs to get there. That's why I think the notion of getting paid by the mile is a bit of a misnomer, UNLESS you're paid on the hub.
So, assuming for the monent OP is in fact a company driver, a company driver really has no right to refuse anything, barring safety concerns that is.Frank Speak Thanks this. -
I've never seen it printed on the BOL, but it tells me in my dispatch what the paid miles are, both loaded and empty so I know what I'm getting paid before I pick up the load.
I concur as far as being picky about a load. Obviously, some loads are better than others, but ultimately I'm just out to keep the wheels turning. -
Frank Speak Thanks this.
