    Don't be late without calling them first. Allow auto-track. And, FFS, the PPE issue isn't an issue if you really are an experienced trucker. Only rookies would have an issue with that or expect every shipper/receiver to provide it. Send the papers ASAP (dunno why anyone would hold it when they can get paid pretty much now). The 3 hrs detention is likely not THEIR issue, it's very likely the shipper/receiver. Some don't even pay detention, and that's also spelled out in the ratecon. Sysco, for example, doesn't pay detention, but you can count on 4-8 hours every single time. So, that one I understand. The rest? No.

    If you mean scanning the BOL's, you might get paid quick if an OO or something, but us company drivers get paid a week behind no matter what. I've used the lack of a next trip to hold the BOL's from the previous one hostage. I've received a message on the box saying "Please scan BOL's for such and such trip" and I reply "When I get the next trip." Works really well, too. Seems to speed up the next trip getting to my truck quite a bit.

    Of course the exceptions are if this trip gets me home or if I'm about to do a 34 reset.

    You're right. I didn't know that's how it happened. I thought RXO was just a renaming of XPO.

    You know they can fire you for that, right? No matter how good you are or how much they generally like you, play too much like that and dispatch will eventually decide to protect themselves. THEY get clipped for driver delays. When it comes down to it, you can and will be cut loose for such actions.

    You know those papers you signed while onboarding? That's a part of it. You agreed not to hold back papers. Don't believe me? Ask HR for a copy. You signed, thus they can fire you with cause.

    I can promise you they wouldn't fire me for this. They want to get paid? Keep me rolling. They want to fire me? Fine, I got 3 standing job offers at any time without even trying. They can come get the truck because if they fire me on the spot, the truck stops right where it is.

    Keeping me rolling was in the paperwork, too. They violate the contract, so do I. I'm already having to use my personal phone and my data plan to send in this paperwork. That was NOT in any contract I signed. So if they want to play that game, let's have the opening kickoff.
