{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"From my stand point on dispatchers, I see that they are part of chain of command. If they are hounding us to drive.(speaking as whole group,) it’s because they are being hounded. Or in some case just are having a bad day etc. etc. but they don’t just start off by wanting to run us in the dirt. It comes from way up the chain. It’s the owners and supervisors that need to be looked at in these case. You give out bonus’s to your dispatcher for their driver getting a load on time or early, and that goes for all dispatchers in that company that’s great to the dispatcher. But when that motivation isn’t checked is where I think the problem lies because their running all these drivers to make that extra cash and at that point each and every driver under the dispatcher that wants to make extra money see’s the drivers as expendable pawns that will either they can profit off of or not. I unfortunately have only had 1 bad dispatcher and I swear if I had not been thru enough in my life so far, I would of skull uukd him. No business being behind that desk or a phone. But if someone can tell me or prove that this chain is correct or wrong please feel free to educate me. Need to settle this one topic before I move on to the next"}

If the truckers will be paid good they won't mind run as per ELD rules and regulations. They will know gonna make good payout they will have a peace of mind.","replyToPid":0}

","text":"Ddamm good point and idea, sir Sekhonking. What about trucker driver that can’t access these load boards? I’m asking in a world that has done away with brokers, if a driver can’t access them what other options are there that you can think of? ","replyToPid":301461}

{"replyTo":"","text":" Bugs bunny, thank for your response . Thats what I am talking about the loadboard should be a common and open platform between shipper and trucker and anybody can create login with MC and USDOT information or we should be paid for the time we check in to checkout for pickup or to deliver. Cause that is the only time get wasted for no money or very less money. None of us waste their time while we are on drive , no matter how worst the weather conditions are we always keep moving or give our best on the road.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Benefit of an ELD - 1.cannot be guilted into driving past your maximum allowed time. 2. Much easier to keep accurate records of loads/travel/time. 3. Easier communication with DOT/police when necessary. \n\n3 changes I would make to benefit drivers. 1. Do away with the 30 min break. It’s just dumb. 2. Do away with the 5mph rule. Not even sure what the point of that one is. 3. Change the 8/70 to a 7/70. If number 3 was implemented 2 major things happen. 1. Drivers don’t have to push so hard bc they have a bit more time to drive each day. You’re not trying to cram x amount of miles into a shorter day. 2. Drivers would get a raise without their rate of pay changing. ","replyToPid":0}
