What to do when a dispatcher tries to force a load on you?

Your best bet since the apu breaking and bow this is to move on from Swift. It's not gonna get any better.

 

Okay, I maybe missing something but I believe you should have taken the load. Driven until your time was up and parked it. Then let dispatch figure out how to get the load from where you are parked to where it has to be. It would have been perfect had you gotten the load to within five minutes of the customer and had to do a 10 hour break. I guarantee the first time that happens will be the last time. However, if you had 9 hours today and get 8 hours tomorrow, I believe that adds up to 17 so it seems you could have done it. But if you are saying that it delivers before you could do a 9,

 

Most the staff at trucking companies have never drove truck let alone don't know safety and HOS so like posts you need to be precise.But you may hear about it for taking a reset.Companies run on as many available hours you have before you've completely exhausted your 70.

 

So we are destitute the same way then

 

We try to help and every little detail helps us help you

 

Over the yrs ive learned alot from drivers online.Of course I won't let them know that lol

 

This happened to me in 2011. I had delivered in western Mass and did not have much left on my 70. I was dispatched into Maine to pick up a load of bottled water headed for the Newark area. I made it to the Pilot TS on 95 right on the RI/Conn line. I was hitting zero hours left as I exited. I sit on that load and did a 34 there.

 

Let me get this straight,
You have 30 min left on elogs to go make a pick up 25 minutes away and you'd do it?

 

Not with that frigging elog I wont Sir Rusty.

Papers hell yea. Deduct 20% ground miles for the day, carry over the difference off the odometer to part of the first hour's tomorrow logs...

 

Hook up to it take my reset then deliver it!
