You keep your dwell time whenever you move. If you Deadhead to a location and someone there has less dwell time you will bump them to a lower queue posistion.

Bumping ovm is always encouraged. : :)

I certainly believe in the golden rule....LOL

I've been known to bump a few around, BUT that is business,,,,I do what is right for ME....It is sink or swim out here especially now.....If it is to my advantage to move into somewhere I'll do it....I don't do it if there is no advantage....that would be just darned right vindictive... I've also been known to give up the coveted #1 spot...to move to another location....sometimes that #1 position can be a curse....:)

Thanks for the explanation! We tend to avoid empty moves. Too many times, when we were first starting out, we would move from a "dead" area only to be sent back, or further in the opposite direction for the next load. The only predictable thing in this biz is the unpredictability!

Then the next driver will say... I would have taken that load vs this one. If I was first up I should have been offered it. Or they would say we should have offered as they could rest or plan accordingly.

I have drivers that will have a no east coast message. They will complain when the truck next to them gets a load going east and they are still sitting there. I have heard yeah but I would have taken it since I was stuck or if I had known it was paying that I would have taken it. Honestly not every driver in our system thinks the same and most have their own system they use to operate with. It is hard to accommodate all.

Trust me. I wish it was that easy. :(

Maybe it's time to just reflect on the good stuff. No system will ever be perfect for everyone, every time. BUT...we are all blessed to be part of a pretty darn good company, with a pretty darn good staff, and a pretty darn good CEO who takes the time to listen and respond honestly to our concerns...even when the answer may not be what we want to hear.
