Taking another swing at it

So I'll be trying to unload at stop 1 at 8am. Then dump off stop 2 ASAP so I can get whatever run to MI and then it's Disney time.

 

Wow whoever loaded that was really smart Not.

 

Doesn't help when I told Jake on Friday how I would be delivering with my hours being staggered and delays from eclipse traffic. Yet he didn't bother to pass along my message.

 

Nope he wouldn't. He is very bad dispatcher really a planner and not a good one.

 

That's also who I have as dispatch ,until reg dispatch gets off vacation.

 

I had a 2 stop in Iowa with appointments in wrong order and a pissed contractor, then reload from Jake/broker gave me wrong town for pickup. I had to straighten that little mess out.

 

Did you jump off the southeast board to otr or warehouse?

 

I don't want to turn this into a bash Jake contest, I'm just saying that I didn't have as many issues on a regular basis as I do with my normal dispatcher being absent.

I specifically requested a drop load at the warehouse for Friday so I can start my vacation. I'm getting loaded this afternoon in Dallas going to Plainfield Indiana. For Friday.
I get it. It was the best thing available at the time to get me back to the Midwest. I don't like the idea of a 230 mile deadhead to go on vacation. Maybe I'll luck out and get a short run I can drop.

 

I really dislike loading in Dallas. So much traffic. And with the late load time I have, I'm sure to hit some kind of rush heading out. Going to Indy for Friday unload. If I can shave off 300 miles tonight, I should be able to get there Thursday. That gives them Thursday evening and Friday morning to find a shorty going to MI.

 

They are gearing up for GATS this weekend. Probably just adding to the already miserable traffic situation.
