    So....... Are all you guys having as much fun with this as I am. Receiving trips that are impossible to make on time? Having to tell them that's not possible. Then deadheading empty 300+ miles to run a 50 mile grocery load. Also pilot program deleting FLW. doesn't seem to efficient to me what say you guys

    It doesn't take into account the ready time for backhauls. I keep getting sent to vendors days before a load is scheduled to be ready. Most times when I call the ROC, I'm told to "just go on over, driver."
    ....and they say they're cutting down on empty miles.

    It seems the day before my go home day they go all out crazy. I sent in a etd showing I had 8 hours left on my 70. Then I was dispatched with an impossible run. Had to call the rock and get bounced around from dispatcher to dispatcher

    Usually the same here, but to my surprise I sent etd for 1400 with 5.5/8 on clock and got message due to no short runs enjoy your time off. I was done by 1230. I don't know what to do getting home with sun still up. Lol

    Been doing the same to me. For the last 3 weeks, I've put in that I have 10 hrs remaining on my 70, and they try to give me pull ahead GM freight to a 2 dock store. Each time having to call the ROC and tell them how that's not happening. End result has been a 300 mile deadhead to my home domicile. Hope they figure the kinks in the program soon. To say I'm beyond frustrated is an understatement.

    In the last hour, deadheaded 95 miles to a vendor. Load not scheduled till tomorrow. Now deadhead 150 mile back to DC. Am I frustrated? Heck no. I'm being paid, what's the big deal?
     
    foggy, TransplantBadger, NYVET and 2 others Thank this.
