I've been getting crap loads since the last holiday (Easter), it seems that an average of 300 miles a day is about all they can manage to get me, and I have had it. Will be on the phone with Deland tomorrow. There WILL be some changes, either initiated by them or by me. At least when SPD stuck me with crappy loads (or no load), I got $150/day layover when I had to sit. (Not that I would ever go back to what they have become)
This has gotten into my brain so thoroughly that I actually had a couple dreams about screwed up loads last night...one cancelled after 7 hrs of waiting...the other was a 3 or 4 hour wait for paperwork, but in both dreams, both the customers apologized for screwing up my trip, that's something you'll never hear from Lincoln.
Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

I would go over everyones head immediately tomorrow including getting a hold of kutter…obviously folks aren’t taking you seriously for whatever reason…i would literally go over their heads and whatnot…I’ve done that a few times now and they got the msg loud and clear, don’t screw around with me and do things that intentionally cost me money on a grand scale because i won’t tolerate it.

A question if I may, for the sake of playing devil’s advocate for a moment…
At what point, if ever, does it become safe to assume that maybe the pickings you’re getting is all there is to be had?Friend, 88 Alpha, hotrod1653 and 4 others Thank this. -

I have found out over my various visits to the Acklie companies that the planners will only plan you just enough to keep you from complaining. If you're only getting 300 mi a day loads, and you don't complain, then that's where you'll stay. If you complain, they'll gradually increase your miles until you stop complaining, then that's where you stagnate.

In exception to stuff from KC to Omaha and maybe Ft. Dodge, IA to Lincoln, I don't think my company even has sub 300 mile runs
Friend Thanks this. -
Case in point. My PTA is 5/27 0700. This is my next load offer
They're only providing more ammo for me to prove my point with management.Friend, Lonesome, Rugerfan and 1 other person Thank this. -
