Unusual question but sure it's been done

Who do u work for

 

Step 1. Get a better attitude. Dispatchers are like any other human. Treat them like crap and they will do the bare minimum for you. Treat them well and they will bend over backwards for you.

 

Yes, what he said.

It has a lot to do with the size of your company and how many dispatchers they have. If you work for a mega carrier you can probably get another one. There are complete a-holes who are dispatchers and some fantastic ones. Kissing a little butt goes a long way sometimes when you want better loads.

 

I’ve got you set going to Hunts Point 3 times next week.
Then King of Prussia and afternoon that a Kearny NJ to Hunts Point.

Keep on and the next week will be Boston.

 

That’s change company, not just dispatcher.

 

We’ll change companies too, you’ll still set for that route.
King of Prussia first.
Thanks.

 

LOL, I just got out of PA last week, not far from there. Nice run too. 2300 miles into the sunshine and blue skies.

 

I am not sure if I told this story or not. Many years ago I was assigned to a greenhorn FM. I was even told by the terminal manager to stay calm and work with her. I bent over backward, but she was such a scatter brain I had enough. I asked to be routed back in. It was about two weeks later, but I walked in told the terminal manager I had a rental car coming in and was cleaning out my tractor. he looked at me and said, "let me guess, (redacted) right?" I said yep, and because I don't like to use quitting in that way my decision to quit was final. To make a long story short I did quit, but only after being offered a new tractor and 3 CPM raise. I still walked out. Last I heard that (redacted) was working for the maintenance dept answering roadside assistance calls. I will bend over backward attempting to work with a FM, but when I get my fill I'm full.
