What Would You Do if this was your OTR job?

That kind of attitude will run you out of employers rather quickly.

Every job had bs....what you need to do is decide if your paid enough for the bs you have. If so good....if not, then better your situation.

Threatening to jump ship every time you have a bad day is a quick way to find out how sick of your bs your boss is.

Jobs have bs, no doubt. Employees have bs too.

 

That is one reason I have a hot button with ineffectives inside the dispatch office.

They pull on the cigar, hand the pile of half finished hash that is supposed to be the load papers, wave you off as if you were somehow intruding in their routine. Then you learn just how broken that load is and you have to fix it.

I remember one load over all the ones Ive hauled. I went into a facility that is rather big for milling metal and forging and so on. Supposed to pick up some stuff on the covered wagon, only no one was around that afternoon. Except one. A suit in his chambers on the top floor. I told him with papers in hand I need this, that and yonder put on my truck, I need the keys to his forklift (One of the 20K monsters) and make it happen because it has to be in the Midwest next day. (It's approaching 9Pm by now)

That suit came down and placed the this, that and yonder on my deck where I pointed exactly using a best guess planning on cat the thing after. It was really horrible to witness such clumsy rusty use of the thing but he put it on. (As if I could do better)

and we rolled.

Dispatch got the message loaded and rolling and came back being difficult. I told them to save the noise arent you happy we are loaded and rolling now. It will be there in the morning.

SIGH... you were not supposed to get it tonight. It was not to go out until monday.

Sorry, it's moving right now I just finished Cat legal weights and moving for Illinois in 10 minutes.

S I G H.

I started looking for another company. I need dispatchers with bawls. Not weak effermite ineffectives who rely on children to fix problems for them.
