Company calling me during my time off

There's always an emergency somewhere dispatch needs to cover. If you don't want to do it, tell them no or don't answer the phone. They can't shorten your time unless you let them.

If they aren't getting you west for your hometime, start looking for a company with a terminal or a major freight lane in that area. A city with 10 million around it should have a few choices.

And on the way out the door, be sure to tell management why you left. They won't happy with dispatch about their driver retention rate.

 

6 months many times gets you into a better job.

i'd be very careful about your penchant for job hopping so new into a new job.
find a new job, figure in the obligatory 2 week notice, then a 2 week vacation, get back to work. tell your soon to be new employer you can start in 3 weeks, no more, than that, quit your job after only working one week for them, not 2.

but for me, i always used to up and quit. i never gave any notice. i always figured they will "notice" i ain't there.........

i never cared for burning any bridges behind me, and i never will.

 

I pity guys driving for companies like that.Stand up for yourself.
I left Chicago on Saturday night will be back tonight. Guy I drive for texted me 10 minutes ago."WOULD YOU LIKE TO do another short run this week?"
East European company.

 

Ask if you can call them at home after work.

 

I like dart when I work for them you set in the people net we're you can be reach it , no one call you because when they tried to call you it would send it to the truck, you would get a Auto message letting you know some one send you a message to the truck are to let you know they sent you a load when you're home time is up

 

Leave them a message saying you're late and can't make delivery.

Phone will ring in a heartbeat.

 

Get a hold of his phone number, call him Saturday, and ask him if he can come back to work Sunday.
