    Dispatcher Ride-alongs

    I agree that a dispatcher ride along can be a good thing. But, I would never want a dispatcher riding with me. Our truck is our home. It's where you can pick your nose and scratch your butt when and where you want. On the other hand, as far as the dispatchers' job, I know I couldn't and...

    Thanks everyone

    I can't offer any advice in regards to what avenue to take in trucking as I have only experienced expediting and only 2.5 years at that. But I can offer my most sincere thoughts and well wishes. Remember a positive attitude is a proven factor in healing. Keep us posted.
