first time getting pissed with dispatcher

Was that you I saw in Pueblo today?

 

Headed towards the home 20 this time?

 

Im not sure about that if they really want to get someone home IMO they can. Also IMO ive come to think that sometimes on holidays other drivers take off and the companies have no intention of honoring hometime for some drivers in order to keep enough trucks out to serve customers. Last time that happened to me i ran out of hours on purpose. I logged every last legit on duty minute i could. Seemed to work too since i havent had it happen since not that i go home much tho.

 

Give the flatbed division manager a call on Tuesday. They don't put up with that kind of crap on the cold side.

 

Time to find a new job. Hometime is more important to me than there load. If they cant get me home, its time to move to a company that will.

 

He's got about a month and a half solo experience...

 

Talk to Jack (?) about it on Tuesday. You've only been out on your own for a few weeks, and part of it is usually the completely different kind of life you're living now.
