Running with JCT, Part Deux

He said every swap he gets it. I was like really that's odd. O well not my business. Of course I would be happy if I got it every swap I did lol.

 

Well, if that's the case, maybe we should start asking for a $100 to swap whenever asked to. You (@crxdc) can be like, well, the driver for truck number XXXX says he gets a $100 to swap, so, I want the same thing. That would be fair. If one truck gets paid to swap, then all trucks should be paid to swap when asked to.

 

Teams get 50$ when they successfully deliver a repower on time. Never heard of them getting 100$ though. At least that's what we were getting when I was teaming. Just saved a load to Safeway in Tempe, wonder if I will get my 50$ as a solo driver. If I don't, I will be asking why.

 

However, there were times when I was teaming they would be so desperate for us to repower a load that I could squeeze some extra money out of them. Teams can demand a lot here and almost always get there way.

 

Don't you know by now not to believe a single word a truck driver says.

 

lol YES! Like listening to a fisherman

 

Gotta love it when you give an eta to consignee on a load with no appt time and they make the appt for 4 hours earlier.

So, I sent a message saying go ahead and find a swap along with a swap location

 

I don't trust em but I though id ask

 

Well I'm 700 miles out and deliver on Sunday at 11 am in San Bernardino, and no pre plan. I told them I'm not sitting in Cali on the 4th. Smh

 

Lol. Gotta love the awesome inter-office communication. Called in my produce temps; here's how it went:

Dispatch: I see you was set on 35 continuous. Is that correct?

Me: Yes.

Then gave temps for box and vent door.

Dispatch: Are you good for OTD?

Me: Nope.

Dispatch: Have you spoken to anyone about this?

Me: Yep. Made my DM and Planners aware of this yesterday morning.

Dispatch: Oh, well, have a good day. *click.
