Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

I've had the same unpleasant talks as well. NAT= next AVAILABLE time. Which to me means, any time before that is my time!!!! I am available at the time I have set and beyond. But THEY want you to be booked with a load by that time. We shouldn't even be involved with that. I will book a load when I am good and ready. That NAT should be for company drivers ONLY!!!

 

Dont forget that truck payment...some day it will be paid for.. I personally never get hassled by my ICA team.. I think theres a big difference in management style from GB to Charlotte...glad I am on the GB side.

In my case, no. It's been this way with this guy since he showed up in our group. Had a great ICA, she moved into sales or something.

This guy though? He even made the decision once to pull a load from me because it was a "critical" customer, and he wasn't sure if I would get it picked up and delivered on time. Never mind what my ETA's said, just take it on yourself to remove it. Luckily, I got stopped and read the message and managed to get him on the phone before it actually happened.

Haven even gotten messages (ones that go to the whole group of drivers) that complains at us "IC's" and how the problems he is dealing with never happened to him as a DBL on the company side.

I keep waiting for him to adjust to how things on the IC side work, but getting impatient, LOL.

 

Is this J in gb

 

I get the need for us updating our NAT. That said, my NAT was accurate. I am here, and I am available. I have windows open on the PC searching a close radius for loads, and another searching long distance. I'm available right now, but there simply is zero loads and has been for 3 days for the day I was going to be empty.

It just irritates me with the guy does something as senseless as changing my NAT to the next day for no reason. Had I not noticed that when it happened, and a load popped up here for today, it would have been rejected because of that stupid NAT being changed, and by the time I got that fixed, load would have been on another truck.

 

no, I'm outta Charlotte.

 

Had a similar conversation, once I said " it doesn't matter what my Nat is if CS is only going to release cheap an heavy garbage I'm not picking it anyway" was never questioned agian

 

About a year ago I was having a problem with a different ica and my Nat being pushed out to the next day after only being 45mins old. After I got on the phone with head of ic's in gb it stopped
