Message:: [QUOTE="emoore0023, post: 12224495, member: 339190"]Hello all,      I am a newbie (Starting 5th week solo) but wondering if my dispatcher is taking advantage of me. My current dispatcher tells me where I'm going counts up hours it will take me to get there himself and then decides that's when it needs to deliver. Even though delivery time may be different. He has also called me while on hometime the last 2 weeks to change the loads meaning changing when I leave from hometime which is so far always earlier. I am thinking about switching regions which would change my dispatcher as well.  When I said something to my current dispatcher about how hard he was running me and cutting my hometime shorter I was told "this is trucking" I am not sure it's the right profession for me if this is really the way it is suppose to be. Question is Are all dispatchers like this? Do I need a different dispatcher? am I just not cut out for trucking? Any advice would help...[/QUOTE]
