I can’t explain how many issues would be corrected for both you guys and for us if they fixed certain things with the dispatch. If we could pull our dispatch data for the day earlier we could make it so much better.
I just don't understand how it's always the dumbest person in every building.
That is a fat Dolphin.
No one in management cares. Now a driver backing, that they care about.
Always amazes me. Worry about backing speed, not service, hours, load quality, nda, etc., etc.
Then, throw in Orion, which wants you to back to cut miles.
You don't have to tell me, I hear it when I cover. I think I do better than our dispatcher because I'm not a dips*** but also because I see the results of what he does. What creates disasters and what doesn't. He sees the missed and notes on the friend* ups, but it's a lot different when you're scrambling at 1530 trying to fix it than reading it on a report at midnight.
I can influence a driver backing. I'm just an ORS, I have no control over the air or feeder networks.
Again, backing speed by one of my drivers is something I can influence. Feeder network, SPC, load quality, and NDA are all in someone else's wheelhouse. I do my best to extend myself to fix the service issues. But there is a lot of stuff I can't fix no matter how hard I try.
And I get that. I know what routes are going to have a high number of backs because of the stops involved. It's when a route that normally has 6 backs comes in with 22 that you end up scratching your head.
Lol the old buildings were built not to have ac.
Last week, I had a bigger spare truck. I was making 4 to 5 quick backs to get out of some tight spots.
They sent the snowflakes home so they could run around playing.
