Dispatchers...

The key to a happy life is to manage one's expectations.

When I report for work every morning I expect an impossible dispatch, incompetent management, and atrocious load quality. And I am seldom disappointed.

1 stop at a time dude exactly, we got paid by the hour, it will be what it will be lol.

When I report to work every morning I expect a reasonable dispatch, supportive management and better than average load quality. And I am seldom disappointed.

You belong on endangered species list or are one of those characters I mentioned earlier.

I always hope for the best but expect the worst.

Other than Peak, I know that I will be off road no later than 1830 every day.

Yeah but you have your own route I'm assuming. Most of us have no idea where we'll be every morning walking into the hub.

And I'm sure they expect you to come in and put in an hours worth of work for free every morning, so they can save on their labor costs.

Anyone who does this should have their hands broken. If your stupid enough to work for free, your stupid enough to work injured.

Oh no, Upstate is proud of all the work he does for free every morning.

I forget what thread he posted it in, but boy howdy he loves giving away free work to the company

Where I'm from, you couldn't get away with that. The stewards in my center would eat you alive, even the rookies in qualification.

I have had my route for 20 years and anymore I don't know where I'll be.

I'm in an extended center and the center we're connected to when EDD was first put in drivers would be going up to the dispatcher and bitching about their loads and areas that they got. Eventually the manager wouldn't let them talk to the dispatcher anymore.

Those resi splits must be tough.

Those resi splits must be tough.

What is tough is having to break off, drive five miles to do a few business stops, drive back to my area to finish my route, and then drive back to the split area to finish up. Adds at least fifteen mile to my day.

At that point I would hand the airs to the other driver and be on my way.

That would mess up stops per car and you would show up on 1 of there 999,999 reports.
