Sending in a Comdata code now requires the DM to call onroad to open emergency fuel. We all know how long hold times are with onroad. Best way is to ask for fuel route to be reoptimized. 9 times out of 10, this works for me.
There you go getting your exercise jumping to a conclusion. No where near Memphis, had the empty in hand. needed it assigned to the truck. They wouldn't dispatch me on the load until I got an empty. I didn't want to lose that load as it was a ticket to the repair shop in Memphis. Always quick to jump on me aren't ya?
Seriously, Rug? Are you schizophrenic? Or OCD...Multiple Personality Disorder? Bipolar? You answered that four days ago in what I felt was a relatively reasonable manner. Apparently, you didn't feel like you injected enough animosity into it or you'd have left it with your less aggressive answer FOUR DAYS AGO like I did: Sometimes I think your only purpose here is to go out of your way to irritate people.
Sorry. Haven't been on line. I have had plenty of time. I originally didn't intend on irritating you. You just seem to take offense or dispute everything that comes off my key board. We should go have a couple of beers some day if our paths ever cross. (strictly platonic of course!)
I have something to sound off about! Lumpers. I no longer want my money to be involved in the lumper transaction. I don't care if it's the 'industry standard'. I have been burned for the first and last time not being reimbursed for the lumper unload. OH and now I want a hottub at each terminal.
Lumper: we'll tell u how much it is when we r done. Me: I can't get an authorization without a price Lump: I can't give a price till I know how long it took Me: again, me a got no dough without a price Around and around and.... Lump: oh, u r on contract direct bill to shipper - we'll get started. D'oh!
No worries there. As I said, I have someone in my life who suits me just fine. Regarding beer: you take my share. I'll have a Stoli Grasshopper. My mother broke me of beer forever when I was 15. Nowadays, it would be called "child abuse." Back then, it was called "good parenting."
Thanks for listening to all of our crap BigShrek. I believe that you are here to learn from us and to give us information that will make our job easier, and I appreciate it very much. Keep up the good work! Oh, and get yourself out of that flood plain as soon as you can. From what I have seen, the flood problems are getting worse as the years go by. I don't necessarily buy into the whole "global warming" theory.... What I do know is that for some reason the storms are bigger and nastier than they were in the past.
