That sounds rough, I get dispatch errors that come to my building all the fucking time. Like an every day occurrence. And their errors usually involve telling their drivers the pick up is ready, when it’s being live loaded and it’s a far lane so it usually takes the whole day to finish the load. It’s bidded out as a 1am dispatch because we also tell them it will be live loaded all day.

They’ll still send someone 24 hours early because the contract expectation is a trailer to be loaded into before operations start. With how some of these megas jerk around third parties and then third parties jerk around drivers, it almost seems infeasible to me to expect an under 9% idle time.

Just because I’m already bitching, I’ve seen these fuckers send their drivers every single pickup number and not tell their driver where he’s going. And just expect him to figure out behind a 9 digit number which one is the Kansas, Portland, Orlando, Maryland, etc. Like some of these fuckers in dispatch have the planning skills of a toddler, let the god damn driver know where he’s going because I’m just going to pick the one I know I can cancel and let my drivers take.
