Wrong load numbers again

Driver's time for delivery begins as soon as check-in starts. Wrong P/U# from dispatch or on rate con is not the driver's mistake or problem except for waiting longer and making a few phone calls. That is a logistics issue and we're not in the logistics business.

Keep track of your time and make sure everything is on Qualcomm or send a text message to dispatch as soon as you arrive for proof of arrival time. 4 hours after the time stamp on that text message is when you start texting about detention pay, or however long after that company policy dictates.

 

90% of the broker loads I am dispatched on either have wrong load number or don't have the PU number the shipper is looking for. Even when I call to confirm the load and specifically ask if there are any other numbers or info I need and the answer is no.

I just accept that brokers are incompetent and move on with my life.

 

I had someone send me a load once, pick up in Scranton PA at 9am, deliver in Carteret NJ at 11:00 am, Philadelphia PA at 13:00, and Gordonsville VA Walmart T 1800.

Obviously that didn't happen and despite being told the WM was being rescheduled... It never happened. I got that about 14 hrs late, on Saturday. Dispatch said they rescheduled it for Monday. The guards gave me a guys number and told me to call him at 1400... I called and by 1530 I was unloaded and on my way.

It is definitely out of the norm... But they will sometimes work with you if you approach them right.

 

That is the key to it all, most of the time.

 

That or they need your stuff real bad they will take it early. Lol
