Absolutely..TS must be a management person....the program automatically tracks everyones income and is available with one click of the mouse...on a normal business day a good dispatcher has that split second to look... Dog..I gotta ask...just HOW many miles are you expecting/needing?

A carrier actually has to work at it sometimes to make sure the load progresses thru the channels...

Look at my time stamp....just had a 3 minute hang up....while I waited for page to refresh/reload I checked my mail and was on Facebook....Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I can see getting a lawyer for $100 issue...make sense to me... or going OOS and losing money to go into the office to fight a $100 issue...

tell me about it...get a contract, get a lawyer...:rolleyes:

I was commenting to Greg... I have never ever heard 2 hrs was standard till I started here in the US...most were 1 hour and it was ALL D time... 30 minutes to get loaded and 1 hour to get unloaded would yield 30 minutes D-time...Total D-Time against pro number. this 2 hours at the front end...

Just one case comes to mind... Did everything to the letter...broker said paperwork "appeared" in order....ok I leave... OPPS....wait...during processing what I had on was not that companies manufactured goods....but rather a maintenance item on transfer....guess what? Wrong...

Contracts mean crap..... when was the last time a driver took legal issue with a carrier over D Time? When was the last time a driver was terminated immediately and the driver fought back?

That is fine..BUT the load was NOT cleared yet...many things can happen on the way to the border...You've been lucky... 3 things a driver knows for sure to check... 1. Country of origin 2. Value stated on form 3. Currency ..it should say US or Can. without that never leave the dock...

You nuts? how in Sams Bells ya supposed to do that? Sit at the shippers for 3 hours?

I've created a donut monster...*LOL* In Brook Park delivered 1 hour early...hoping for just one more be it small or large.....:D

And you said you know Customs? There are many things even shippers are not aware of...maybe the office managers...what questions Greg? Is the product from a restricted country? Is the item on the tariff sheet...and at what at rate? Has the paying customer paid their brokerage fees on...

Phil..I always got paid Detention time...after a 2 hour exemption....I can't for the life of me think why the Feds don't charge the customer or take it out of their pocket as per contract rate.

Good morning world Let the bells ring out and the people cheer I am here, I am here.... OVM the Legend in Shorts!!:D

Thank you Eddie...yep it was a new dispatcher the run was like 752 miles BUT had just over 2 days to do it...:eek: Chris..it is just their business plan...they do a lot of Mexico...and they don't want to ask customers for the extra time like other carriers do....so they went with teams...just...

April Fools Day all.....I am 29 again....:p

Joe called around 7pm for a pick 200 miles away going to Brook Park...in Danville now for an AM pick....:D

I can concur...teams will get loaded before you...they are heavy on teams...when things slow down team runs start around 500 miles instead of 750-800 miles...I've been team and know we got some runs that weren't deserved...just ask Steady Eddie...he knows that first hand...then when solo...

I've spent many a day chasing down a broker, asking questions, Like what exactly is it you need to clear this load and what needs to be done....? Many a time I found a solution before dispatch even made the first call....Those brokers know each other and most of the accounts and who does...

If I jump up and down..it moves....*L*:p
