When told about the change last year they told me not to shout about it. So never mentioned it here. Thought everyone's DM would relay the message and everybody was doing the same as me here. Was told they're scared of people taking advantage of it. Whatever that means.. It probably means what I do whenever possible, run out of hours during delivery. lol Also don't know what being dispatched on next load has to do with it? I was never told that. If I'm out of hours on somebody else's property, I move to a save location. But maybe I have selective hearing..
Whenever i sent my empty call and was out of hours,I just used pc to go park anyway. Never thought twice about it and nothing was ever said. Just figured it was because I wasn’t making a habit of it. Only happens once or twice in a quarter.
I’m picking up bulk carrots in south Texas and going to drop it the yard for someone else to take to Ft. Smith. Yep....Gerber. Hope the next driver don’t get mad because I didn’t put load locks in.
I picked up a load out of lake Wales Florida natural and a JCT driver said when asked if he needed a seal to put load locks in...and I quote "No, I'm just dropping it anyway". I wanted to tell him so your the but hole that always drops trailers without load locks and I wind up losing my last set.
On other news I'm almost to the point to refuse a load when I show up and it has issues. 5 tires on the last trailer, now this drop and hook has a bad tire and 3 brakes that are a quarter inch off the drums and won't slide....smh
Sometimes when I go home-load and only have a couple hours left I run that time down to near zero on the Drive line then switch over to Off Drive if I still need time to get where I want to be. This is with an empty trailer, been doing it forever.
