    In some cases, with larger carriers, the solution is as simple as just changing to a different driver manager. Some DMs have a better relationship with load planners than others, thus, they can get a better or longer run for their drivers than other DMs.

    Believe me, we have tried the deliver early trick (I may be a woman and a Pee Wee but I ain't that dumb). Only worked once. I'll keep y'all posted as to how we roll now since my pow wow. My bet is on hard for.a.few.weeks just to calm me.down then back to the same old same old. We shall see.

    Yup....that's the usual MO. Run you hard for a few weeks...then back to the same ol ####.

    Most recently, a bud of mine raised cane and got a dedicated run. 3 turns a week...from his hometown and back.

    Lasted a month. He got up one morning, and they decided he was an OTR driver again. He quit immediately...but it took another month for him to get back to work.

    Yep, they have banished me to I-80! Jokes on the though since there's not much snow and it's been running about 43 during the day and near 20 at night.:biggrin_25519:

    Ok, my mistake, left myself open to that one. I meant the temps. I can actually hit 80 mph in some places if I go down the hills without the jake. :biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559::biggrin_25522:
