    Do you (or did you) have a terminal on the way from where you were assigned the load? I know my company has Maryland ringed with places you can pick up their hard copy, truck specific, permit.

    If you are delivering in Maryland itself, be prepared to be asked for the permit by the consignee.

    At a terminal right now but no office staff on weekends. Will just have too see if they can fax it to me, Monday morning when I park.

    Route I'm on won't have me hit any scales till my last stop into Baltimore and with my luck I'll get the red light in.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    Fax doesn't work. It must be an original, hard copy permit. Cannot be faxed, emailed, or copied.
     
    O.Henry and Lonesome Thank this.

    Guess we going off radar! Jk. Will just have to wait for morning crew to tell me where to get said permit while right outside the state.

    Let me make sure I understand this correctly:

    You reamed out a new employee for something that he had no control over?

    No wonder you guys need to keep recruiting. Those are horrible numbers. How many drivers at that terminal?
     
    48Packard and RussianBearTruckeR Thank this.

    You need to read more carefully. I never said I reamed out a new employee. When he said "they'll figure it out", I said "please, they couldn't figure out how to pour whiz out of a bucket with directions on the bottom"...then an Op's manager called, and we had words.

    Perhaps you're confused about this company's terminology. The new guy (BH2.0) is an Asset Manager (A/M), a important sounding name for a dispatcher, (like trash man is a sanation engineer). Planners are the people who send out the loads(or send the loads to the A/M's so they can send them to the drivers), Op's Manager, is the head of the department (or region according to the Op's Manager I spoke to), he is above the planners and Asset Managers. I never had words with my A/M(dispatcher) yet. Just the regional Op's Manager.
