So not going to sugar coat this I can’t seem to figure out if I’m being messed with or if it’s just the way it is...... The dispatch had a million excuses here is and example left Kelowna BC Thursday told just drive to North Bend Wa get there they have a slight clue but not paperwork head to Rainier Or get there pick up the worst dry rotten trailer I have seen (most have been sitting in this company’s yard getting skipped for awhile) luck of the draw I get it. Blow a tire on 970 headed back for Kelowna BC Friday find Airbags leaking can’t deliver until Monday dispatch tells me wait in Tonasket Wa I notice not one but 2 airbags leaking on trailer visible dry rot on the rubber and when the roads got wet had bubbles told by company Press on no mechanic until next week we will replace on Monday go to Canada boarder Monday get 5 miles away and dispatch calls hey something wrong with paperwork head 75 miles south found a shop to do repairs.... parts be there Tuesday... paperwork gets cleared 5 pm Monday night get truck fixed drive and delivered on Tuesday then all the heavy haul dispatch employees clocked off at 4 pmish no message or call or prep lab call company now I’m waiting another night for peanuts is it just bad luck or bad company something is telling me it’s a combo of the two!!!!! I really like my job and am DAM Good at it but I have kids at home and need to make money not sit for the sake of sitting......

I understand about mouths to feed,but this taking "beater trailers" to Canada and back isnt good at all. Personally would more than likey "run like hell". Jmo Who is this "Gardner"? Anyway ,doesnt really matter,but Sounds like an "ate up" outfit? Hang out in Tonasket? Oh,sorry no paperwork available,just hang out at the Western Saloon in Tonasket? Lol..
