Sleeper cab jobs without constant tracking and phone calls?

The reason the calls don’t stopped and you’re tracked is because you’re lumped in with the lowest common denominator. If you don’t want to deal with it then move into a different sector that takes some skill and training. The only road bump is that you want to live in the truck.

I already have my dispatch for tomorrow. I have 5 loads to do and I’ll come home when they’re done. I won’t communicate with anyone at all unless there is an issue, as far as my office checking on me, that won’t happen.

 

The easiest sector of trucking is general freight, like dry van and reefer. You’re being tracked and checked on multiple times a day because they’re catering to the lowest common denominator, for example people that aren’t reliable. And because dry van and reefer are the easiest jobs to get there are far more unreliable people doing the work than in other sectors where it wouldn’t be tolerated. Thus, multiple check calls daily.

 

I dont answer broker calls. Thats what dispatch is for.

 

I can say the same and I pull reefer.

 

The way I’ve handled that is if I know that I am running tight with the customer’s hours, I will call at noon, tell them worse case ETA and offer $50/hr cash for someone to wait for me.

 

Winner.
