thinking of training

are you turning down miles when ask to take?..davey86

 

Company guys don't get to "then down miles when ask to take."

 

No we cant turn loads down, but you can screw around and get it repowered. Or at least reefer guys can... Over here the appointments get rescheduled so you cant get rid of crappy loads.

 

Obviously you can, or you wouldn't have had to repower 2 loads in recent memory.

 

Doesnt happen often, and doesnt happen for me lol Only repowers Ive done were planned ahead of time.

 

the repowers ive done have been guys going on hometime and i didnt like doing those ive had one good repower from night dispatch

 

Really? We do some planned repowers - go grab the freight and run as far as you can. But the unscheduled stuff doesn't earn you any points. You EARN your place on your board - mostly by picking up and delivering without drama, and dealing with the crappy stuff when its time to belly-up for your portion.

 

My belly's full at the moment lol I know a driver who kept having loads repowered because he "couldnt" make the deliveries. Mainly due to stopping cause he felt like it. Thats what Im talking about. Not the ones where you know you cant make it, but youre picking it up for someone else.

 

So's mine. Chicken fried steak and real mashed taters.

That'll make a mark on his driver reputation he won't like! BTW, on the parallel parking... it really is a necessary skill. Its those kind of things that separate you from the wheel-holders.

 

O it DID make a mark... I agree about paralleling, I just dont like to. Ive done it more than I care to remember, but still never hit anything.
