    How Much Deadhead

    Thanks had already done that. Seems every time I ask a question here I get these types of answers that include look it up or its been covered back in 2009 when freight was plentiful and gas was cheap! Starting to rethink my participation entirely. Thanks OVM for humoring me I owe you a like.

    How Much Deadhead

    I am curious... what is the average amount of miles that you find yourselves deadheading between loads? Or what are you willing to drive in between to get closer to a better board or location? I've personally been noticing this past week I racked up quite a bit of DH mileage to get myself...

    giving drivers a bad name

    For Pete's sake if your in a parking area or truck stop there is no reason to be so lazy and not just go inside to the actual bathroom! The bottle.. whatever if you can't stop or plan your trips, use it... Then dispose of it properly without tossing it all over the place. I think it's fair to...

    $1000 a day for a year

    What a waste of OUR money, and disgraceful how they always try to paint these type of trips as official business somehow. Not surprising though.

    Cops

    Ouch... I find his posts light and amusing compared to some. Zane, What I think others may be trying to suggest Is just watch "what" you are posting. Do not post anything that may incriminate yourself so to speak. You don't want to raise any red flags with your new carriers.

    Bye bye 100%

    I'm with Panther not FedEx but their system sounds tempting where related to board positions. I know it's more location that matters most times but when you don't know all the spots position sure helps.

    Oh, That Hour is Comming Back

    I never received any reminder either, shocking! Maybe they forgot to adjust there own clocks, lol.

    Bye bye 100%

    I wish the maintaining board position no matter the load were true. However it was explained on a handout during my December orientation that there are only the ways I mentioned in prior post to keep position while turning down a load offer and they certainly upheld this rule with me. I'm quite...

    Bye bye 100%

    No practice seems to still remain... Detention and slap on wrist for all who say no depending on the dispatcher maybe. I even called contractor relations and they would not restore my position ( had a 1st out from a dry run earlier same day) There are ways to turn down and always keep position...

    Bye bye 100%

    Thank you. I think I'll make it. I figured if I can get just one other person to "just say NO"... LOL

    Bye bye 100%

    Ya I got sent to detention hall awhile but its alright. As my confidence is increasing Im not afraid to go to the bottom of the line if a load isnt right for me. If Im sitting nearest the next shipper they will come crawling back to the bottom to find me :) I fiqure if I can play by these rules...

    Bye bye 100%

    Yes there was silence with my dispatcher as well, a sort of shock and awe quiet then he practically hung up on me. Guess Im not teachers pet anymore:o

    Bye bye 100%

    I got hit with my first refusal and it felt so good! You might say hey what took you so long or so what, but as a new expeditor with only 86 days in service this is a monumental breakthrough moment for me. I've been ridiculed in the past ( rightfully so) for mentioning my 100% acceptance...
