So I guess I didn't get that load offer...so I get another one....80cpm...(smfh), which I accepted..the customer says that is too much...really?? NOW I am. pissed..putting it in the wind..of coarse, got a turndown, so I lost my hours, which translates into MORE sitting time, as my clock has been reset..so much for non forced dispatch ....lol...
Sounds like the week I'm having. Sitting for 148 hrs. I wanted a little break after running pretty good the last couple of weeks, but geez didn't think I'd have this much trouble getting out of Atlanta

Wow, 148 hours??? Where are you sitting? Bison?
I personally would rather deal with a computer then with a dispatcher. I know most of the dispatchers are decent people, but there are a couple that I wouldn't mind if I never heard from them again.
Case in point, a couple of months ago I got an offer that was going to a military base. They had a list of restrictions a mile long, among which it was that the driver cannot have dual citizenship, which I do. I mentioned to the dispatcher that they pay awfully little for the amount of restrictions. Then I told her I can't do it because I have dual citizenship.
Later on I found out that she dinged me with a refusal and the reason was 'wants more money.' I called her up on it and explained why this was wrong, her answer was that she did not have enough room to put all that in the comments. It went totally above her head that even if the load paid $10 a mile I could not have done it because of the dual citizenship thing.
Whenever she will call me again with a bad load that I will refuse and she will ask me about the reason, I will tell her to make up one for the comments section since she does anyways.

Guys the van market has plummeted the last few weeks. We don't make a dime off a truck sitting. But percentage is a shared pain and shared gain. We are working diligently to secure all we can for you guys at the best price we can. But we do not control the market.
Feels like it, or at least Laredo without the nicer weather
One week now without a load. Trying to get something out of Atlanta. Just got a call, nothing great, but will see what happens.

You are the top by far of a certain list, ugggghhh.
I feel for you Craig, for me, Atlanta has been hit or miss lately, but I dont mind since I have family in the area and I go visit them. Hope you get a load soon.Feels like it, or at least Laredo without the nicer weather

My bad
My bad. Ive had that happen a few times...why I'm so apprehensive to move at times, regardless what the app says...its a crapshoot, we just don't know anymore. And if the rates are going to be in the crapper, I'm not so sure if I want to add to expenses chasing hopes and dreams. Well, I almost had a good paying shorty.....lol..it was a dud. A teaser.

My left arm is incredibly stronger due to boredom...lmao
A driver has informed me that it is, and I quote, " my turn to starve"....lol.
I have become freinds with the homeless living in cars here...nice people.
