Rule Number One in the Book of Man. Want to call yourself a man? Do what you say you're going to do. There's nothing more shameful than using grandiose words describing your prowess and then later on giving weak excuses for failure.

You know on that note, another company I was at they had Qualcom's on the truck.

Id be going down the road, an hour to 45 minutes from where I was going, Dispatcher would send a message to the qualcom, when I didn't answer because I was driving he would call "Hey where you at, when you going to get there?"

Not hard to figure out when the computer knows I'm doing 65 mph and 50 miles away from where I'm going.

Yea, I've had the same thing. Phone rings. Where are you? What does the qualcom say?? Duh...

I've seen so many guys do that, telling the company they are xx miles further down the road than they are, and it always seems to come back and bite them in the ###.

The thing that really gets me is when they expect me to lie to cover for them, and then get mad when I don't do it.

Company I used to run for we had a guy like that, he was always trying to super trucker it to make everyone think he was running 16-18000 miles a month, he drove everywhere at 80 mph, and thought he was cool for it.

The funny thing is driving so fast he would wear himself out and he would have to constantly take breaks, where id run the speed limit and wind up passing him while he was stopped. Because we ran the same loads a lot our dispatcher would call me to ask if I had seen him, and most of the time id have to tell them when and where I saw him parked, which was usually 100-200 miles from where he was claiming he was.

I think one of the funniest ones though was when he and I were sitting in the diner out at Jubitz in Portland eating breakfast, dispatcher called him and asked where he was, he told them that he was sitting on the Washington side of the bridge from Biggs Junction (which was one of his favorite places to sleep)

Then our dispatcher called me, asked me where I was, I told her Jubitz, she asked me if I had seen him, I said "Yeah he is sitting across the table from me eating breakfast" she replied "Figures"

He got all pissy with me for it, tore off out of there in his truck, funny thing was we were delivering the same place in Billings, I beat him there to unload by 3 hours.

Your right on. I hate to admit it, but I've been that guy many times. Run my fool head off for two or three days and then I'm not worth a dime the next few. I'm in Cluck's training program now though, and I don't book team loads anymore (-;

I am in Milliken CO, Just got unloaded. Fixing to head down to Henderson to LKQ to see about them warrantying this transmission. Hopefully they will.

I am not against running hard if I am getting well compensated. But it will be well compensated, not just an extra couple hundred bucks, they will be into 4 figures if they want me to run really hard like that, and I'm not doing it every day either.

Hey welcome to town.

Sitting in my truck burning up fuel, waiting for instructions on what to do about my non-existent for lift I was supposed to take to Albuquerque this afternoon.

Call shipper, no forklift click

The guy hung up on me, nice!
