Yes and, if ANY of you tink for a New York second, you are not on a go - no go screen of somekind, YOU are sadly mistaken. Soooo, if one of your "bad hair days" spilled over to a discussion with a dispatcher, you can rest assured it HAS been duly noted. Also, IF you have been a "good"...

This REALLY does take the cake. Within a couple days of the original post there were many replies. The vast majority were quick to want to "hang" the big bad dispatcher or company. However, a couple days after a question about helping yer fella driver, one has stepped up to the plate...

I'd have to agree that switching the load out would be the way to go. Then however, you'd still have an ill driver problem. I'm sure you wouldn't want him/her driving home ill after being relieved from the load. So, what would you do?? So now you've decided to switch the load out, the...

OK Bear, quit fish'in us. What do you really want to know?

OMG, constant sitting? Seems to me when "its too cold to go there", or, (sniff) I can't find a parking place (for a cargo van) to be on a viable board, then maybe sitting is something you may wanna get used to. Betcha I can ride a mile (or less) with you, in a safe area of Atlanta, and...

Hey Hawk, I'm tired. It's your turn. Git after him.

Ahh, a joke? Thats good Broom. I like that teamwork, no matter whom gets the credit.

Hey Broom, some folks love to wrench, and hate the admin, and some folks can't wrench to save themselves, and love to admin. Can you understand that catchy phrase "cooperate and graduate"? Or, no?

Feeling fine Ark. Thanks for asking. Matter o fact, just finished my two miles a bit ago. But, my fingers got tired typ'in bout toy trucks. The message jes ain't sink'in in. An prolly never will, as long as there are "experts" around.

Hope so. Seems many get plenty of exercise jumping to conclusions and rushing to answer these days, without tink'in bout it.

Ah well, guess that's life in the big time.

Cherri, ya jes can't quite get that pitty poo drivers hat off, can you? Maybe blaming the victim in this and many other cases, is spot on. Moot, sounds like you got er handled. Used your grey matter, an went with the flow during the whole event. An yer a good shot, seems like.

As in Arks case, all the more reason to minimize your time at truck stops to minimize your exposure. As in Caffees case a simple trip to a pay scale and eight bucks is way better'n a grand. To answer your question tho, carry what you can afford to loose, have nuther grand or so available...

In reference to Terrys post, I can't imagine someone refusing a load because it would place them overweight. There are a hunderd other mealy reasons like my second cousins wifes birthday party, but, not "it'll put me over weight", unless, the really intend to shoot themselves in the foot. Think???

Good luck ther fast!! Now that you have opened up a whole nuther can of worms, I hope you'll type to us some about your heartburn from the perspective of that "different pair of shoes".

There is probably way more to this story of woe than we will know. After all the info was it seems picked up by overhead conversation. That being typed, if you'd get outa the "poor lil driver" thought process and put the dispatcher/company hats on there isn't a one of you that would "allow or...

Certainly is a cake taker Coco. Can't imagine someone thinking "home" is the only place one can get medical attention when you obviously REALLY need it. It's very unfortuneate. The lining in this story, as others mentioned, is it's a good thing he wasn't going down the road in a 80,000lb...

BTW, if da fedders gets fluffled to much, i'd hang out the olive branch and offer a nuther "tour" of the ol'e Farmall. Might make ya feel betta.

Aw cummon folks, give the Senior Field Editer a break. yer pile'in on. Tis thred started as pretty much bs, but, has morfed to sumpin kinda entertaining. Hell, we might all need that fund fore it's finished.

Also, you may want to consider your equipment. If you have taken the advice from many on this site, most recruiters, truck salesmen, etc. And drive a cookie cutter expediter ie single axle, roll up door, 22ft, 12,000lb capacity, then you look like 90% of the trucks out there. Differentiate...
