These load Times don't make sense to me

When you get one of those then just say no and put in the time that you can pick up the load and then deliver it on MAC 9. Then the system will send it back to you with the new times. I will bet that they are pre loaded trailers that are sitting and the system knows this. Like the one that I am on. T-called in Memphis. Showed picking up on the 23 and then t-call in Nogales on the 23rd and a final on the 27th.

 

Check the details, see if there is a note saying "preloaded," or if a window is specified.

 

Just accept the load.
They just wanr it removed from the load board.
Time doesnt mean anything.

 

Lol

 

Steel Dragon is right.
The planners already know that the times are bogus, but they can't always change the times in the system.
If you turn it down you may be waiting for some time. And once you turn down a load there can be no layover pay.

When you pick up the load do the loaded call and then a mac 22 with the time that you will be delivering.
In the 'reason' field just say 'eta update based on my dispatch and pick up times'.

 

Until you get to the customer/consignee and they tell you it was supposed to be there last week. And then they give you that look like you just stopped for 5 days with their load so you could suck on turds.

JK

 

That chinese freight has a short shelf life?

 

No.
CSR will contact the customer and get a new delivery appointment based on the drivers' estimate of when the load will deliver.
Simple.

Maybe your company doesn't do it that way?
But that is how I have experienced things.

 

That is how it should work but usually they are too understaffed and busy to do that.
