COVENANT -- From a wife's perspective

It's that Way in all large otr companies. At least my compnay tells the customer where we drop trailers, if one of our bobtails comes looking for an mty , and you have one, he's taking it. We do not aloow our trailers to used as warehouseing on site.
Wait till he has to go on a wild goose chase in the So. Cal area looking for mtys.

 

charged with a service failure?

ThaT's messed up.

Any company, withthe exception of Covanant as i read, loves the fact the load they were hired to move, gets to where it's going early.
Been early so may times in 5 years out here, i have lost count.

Each day i have to snd in a check call. This lets the office know that i'm on schedule. If we are running late, we snd in a msg on qc saying we are late, and this is the eta to cust. That gives the office a chance to either find a repower for the load, or move the appoinment back.
If deley is do to weather,,,, then my company tells the cust, the load is going to be late do to poor weather (we do not reroute do to weather)condtions, or closed raods.
We need to reschedule. The drivers covers his back side by snding that msg, and doesnt get blamed for being late.


Your better half need to tell the office every thing going on with the load. Good Communication with the office is a must.

 

When it looks like your doing well, then the make sure you know that you still work for a crappy company.. Sorry to hear about RC, when I drove OTR, and had to deliver in CA, it was always a nightmare getting back out..

 

all this is true,but it depends on the DM, I just told mine that there was a storm coming into SLC, and I have no chains and ---do--not--- chain. period. I told her that I needed out now,even if my hometime was affected.I got a load into CA and I will ride her to get me out, now you see what MCR was writing about all this time..
Covenant is a master of deception and lies..and the company only serves it's needs and not the drivers....at least team redcoat is at a yard, they could have been dumped somewhere with no facilities as has happened to me.
They flaunt their ads that they respect the drivers, that communication is part of the plan....reality is that they are a self serving perverted company.

 

Storm coming into slc? when?
Just check the NWS website, unless you call sunny days for the next 4 day a storm.

So how do you run in the western states where your REQUIRED TO carry chains? During certian times of the year.

Just because you carry them, doesn't mean you have to use them. Had the same set of chains on my truck for the last 3 years, have never takin them off, except to move into my new truck in March.

 

Mrs. Redcoat, the next time your better half has to sit in French Camp, tell to go south on CA 99 to Ripon, where he can find Flying J and Loves.
Only 9 miles.

I''d be d@##### if i was going to sit in a drop lot.

 

Just what I heard...and being out here for this company as a solo is a fluke....I run mostly east side/south. I wanted off to be in vegas...so I ended up out here.....
