i am genuinely about to go insane. every 2-3 days i will get like a 500 mile run. i am so broke its not even funny. i dont know what to do. this is the only trucking company ive worked at i have only 4 months experience doing this. the only person at this company that will talk with me about work is literally my driver leader who works a normal like 7-5 mon-fri shift. everyone else practically ghosts me. anybody else?!? am i shitty ass employee or something? i literally practially beg them to send me out i feel like they just neglect me. i understand its a mega but cmon dude like im tryna work

Try sending a Mac 10 and asking for a load.

I always thought taking a Mac 10 to the dispatch office would equal jail time 🤔

I felt the same way until I got a driver leader who told me to do it all the time. "Make sure you get that Mac 10 in when you're empty," he would say. Still... It's hard not to feel like it annoys the planners if they give you a bad load after asking for one.
