Unload appts changing

How in the world you are going to accept a routing at 55 if your rig is castrated at 63 or whatever speed it is at?

It smells like the entire Company is trying to smile at one another in conference and praise each other at a high average speed with good ontime record, if not flat early and earlier.... sheesh.

 

Nope since you said your fairly new, we'll do this like a union. Thus you are screwed.

 

65 they went.

....they just wanted to screw you on detention. A lot of times there would be no appointment or appointment window.

But if you called in no macro they would flat lie to you and just read what's on the screen already dispatched. God forbid they do a few finger taps!!!

Macro sent ...finger taps....o look it can deliver between here and here anytime.

You ask the customer what time they had you in at....they say....anytime today hour before we close.

::facepalm::

That's mega trucking....

 

Hm. Interesting. I need to think carefully that over... mega trucking. herrr... that would be something. I think I best behave. Suspect there is plenty of trouble around...

 

You said it was a new DM. So he's either actually trying to benefit you by maximizing your time, or he's a climber that's trying to benefit himself at the expense of the extra wear and tear on you.
You'll figure out which.
I personally do not like sudden changes, unless I'm the one that can push up the schedule. You get your trip, formulate a plan, and carry it out. Maybe your plan for the good meal or shower or female companion, or all three just got scrapped due to someone changing appointment times. F that.
I've said many times, you must train your DM, not the other way around. It's usually not pretty, but it is necessary.

 

So it's a climber.
Ask her strait up WTF? Do that before you ask for a new DM. If you can't resolve it to your satisfaction, then go to OM and ask for a new DM.
I had that when I drove for JB Hunt. I had the best DM ever, then got a new truck with a new DM that was just crap ( the DM not the truck ). I ended up quitting, but the OM called me and calmed me down, so I went back to them with another DM that new his business.

 

Ah screw that.

Try the computer techniques as well.
Screw that running ragged for maybe an extra 150 mile load. And that's a maybe. Definitely someone looking to make a bonus.
