<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tscottme, post: 12224821, member: 19119&quot;]Your dispatcher is behaving differently than the dispatchers I had. Usually the pick-up and delivery times are set and I know them when I get the load. At my last company I was routinely given loads a day or more after they were supposed to leave and I delivered them when I could, not at the original delivery date/time.</p><p><br /></p><p>It sounds like your dispatcher is expecting you to work like a robot and provide the company 100% efficiency for moving as much freight as possible. I would start a work slowdown if you have a discussion with the dispatcher and it had no effect. I would work strictly legal like a Highway Patrol Officer was riding with me and &quot;dot my Is and cross my Ts&quot;. I would also expect the dispatcher to then attempt to starve you out by giving you bad loads with LOTS of time sitting around and hoping for you to quit. I NEVER answer the phone during my 10 hour break from he company or during my 34 unless my company has proven they are not treating me as you describe. I would go to the dispatcher&#039;s boss and ask for a new dispatcher and/or begin a serious research effort to find another place to work. In my experience you never change the company. Ignore the ads of trucking companies. Ignore the recruiters for trucking companies. Talk to current workign drivers at the company doing the work you are about to do for that company. It does no good for some dedicated account driver to tell you about the company if you are going to be an OTR driver, etc. Never work at a company until you have talked to current working drivers and gotten the details on pay, benefits, home-time, anything else important to you and you like what you hear. Newbies think they can do everything online and they foolishly trust words written on ads or websites. Don&#039;t trust words from the company about the company.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
