Plus One

Makes me think of one of the best Star Trek quotes ever. From Enterprise (Scott Bakula) - "The Vulcan Science Directorate has made the determination that time travel is ... not fair." - T'Pol

Seriously made me LOL. Thanks for the day brightener.

 

At least once a week, I ask my DM the same question.... "Is this the REAL appointment time, or Plus 1's?"

A few times, I have had to deliver after plus 1's delivery time. Every time, I knew the actual delivery window (Thanks DM!)..... stopped doing a mac22 (got a lot of messages that would say "you're not late, you have 5 more days on this drop window"), never credited with a late delivery, and still paid detention. It seems that the important things (service failures, detention pay, etc etc) try to ignore plus 1 as much as I do

 

Got a good pluse one do able but very hurry up...... Fort Worth to Dever, 766 loaded 0 empty. Pu @0215 on 0915 an deliver @0600 on 0916... So I adjusted it for something much much easier (it's my birthday and wanna take it easy, and my 70 is pretty dry too... ) 0600 on 0915 and deliver 1600 on 0916... Thu sent it back with those times.. I wonder how many newbies woulda taken the pulse1 times and ran tired?

 

thanks to plus 1, I am pushing my 70 again, and that is even with adjusting some times. A newbie, probably would have ran it. I wonder if they really teach Plus 1 in orientation and how you can make it work for you, and I am talking about the exp drivers that are comming in.

After this week, I am going right back to my original ways. Get sent a pplan, and if it is going to take me more than 8.5 hours of day driving, then going to adjust it so that is what it will be, and if sent back that it is okay, then will take. If not, then not take. No more of these 10-11 hour days where come the weekend, I am hurting for hours. With my hours, the best that I could do for a load, 900 miles for 3 days.

 

Got the official word that the 8 hours of detention I should have been qualified for on a load last month will not be paid because the load had been rescheduled (24 hours later) after I had already sent my Arrival At Shipper macro. DM says I arrived too early on the load, I replied that was the original pick up time plus I filled out all 8 hours of those detention messages. I was shown the actual Plus 1 window for the load which does indeed show that I would have arrived about a day early. Thank you Plus 1 for burning me out of $240 bucks and wasting some of my 11,14,70 to try to go pick up a load that was not scheduled for another whole day.

I really want a driving job where I can see the load board myself.

 

Have you looked into taking your truck somewhere else?

 

I went through orientation in March and Plus One was never mentioned. If it hadn't been for this forum, I would not have known how to work with the system.

 

It's still not mentioned as far as I know

 

Scream, scottie, scream ... I've always gotten my detention in that situation. I sat on one load for 14 hrs, made them void me off the load and still got my detention ...

On I85 in SC headin' for Delaware.

 

Scottie, make them produce the screen that you see in the truck that shows the times sent to you. It is different than the screen that management looks at. It takes them a few extra steps to get to it and some may not even know how to get there but it can be done. I fought and fought with my DM at the time telling him he was not looking at what I saw, he went a little further into the system, apologized to me and said he would get my pay adjusted correctly. I wasn't always nice, but I was polite at all times!
