    then i have the owner op who was at and still is at our corporate headquarters terminal and was assigned a 600 mile load to allentown pa or in that area. driver sent me a message sayin give me a load out west give me a long load out west and i mean now. i said sir you have been assigned a load going to pa, please confirm your load. driver says listen here "boy" im been here for 8 yrs i know whats goin on give this trashy load to a low life company driver and give me my dam load out west now.
    i said ok sir you are being taken off the load for load refusal and i am going to consider bringing you in here to talk to me and my ops mgr about the way you have sent messages on the qual com, so if you reply choose your words wisely unfortunately driver now wont be assigned a load until this monday

    Perhaps with a little less attitude he could have...

    It's not that he could turn it down, it's how you turn them down..

    Seeing as I am a 'low life' company driver, he wouldn't get a load till he got his butt out of the hospital from having my 'low life' boot remove from his butt.

    Yeah that "low life" comment didn't sit too well with me, either.
