I work in receiving in a big warehouse, we are always full on space on the floor. A driver shows up a day early, I have asked them to wait over night before and we will unload them the next day. Because we can’t physically get the gear in the shop, at that moment. All the arguments and complaints I have gotten from drivers, because they can’t stick to schedule (at least that was my thought before this) maybe it was there dispatch rushing them.

I am a new independent dispatcher with in depth training. I would do my best to NEVER let this happen or at least minimize to a rarer occasion. I would ask a fuck load of questions (the right questions), my job is to make a Carriers life easier PERIOD!!! no exceptions. Those guys work way to damn hard and TRUCKING is NOT for the weak. I salute 🫡 these Guys because they are very much needed and the 2020 open my eyes to it even more. I decided to go this route (dispatcher) to start out numbering the candy asses of dispatching.

[@cornfed123567]

As a shipper, if it's your dispatchers fault, we will make you wait. Especially if you are rude. We had a guy scream at our yard girl one time, that's not a good move when it's a bunch of equipment mechanics working 10 feet away. That dude almost got knocked out, only thing that stopped it was the service manager running out there and banning him from our site. We made him back his truck out onto a feeder road, wouldn't let him in the gate. The dude was upset that she didn't load him before another guy who went into the office first and got his paperwork squared away. We won't load anyone until paperwork is done and signed

[@vendingdudes]

Eh, the dispatcher just relays information. Sometimes he's given incorrect info too.

[@clintonkirker5154]

It’s the dispatchers responsibility to verify the information is accurate, otherwise they aren’t doing their job.

I think being Dispatch is a bit tough. I did Dispatch for Zacky Farms and it was a full dynamic role. You have to be able to multi-task, have a great memory and be part psychiatrist.

[@lalailaj]

As a used to be dispatcher I can tell that so many drivers miss their time that its better to bring you earlier and whait, then have a brain tumor of getting you out.

[@makingmelody]

I was once in a situation where the receiver had closed and my dispatcher had no clue and didn’t tell me. I arrived 5 minutes too late and the receiving manager told me I was too late take the load back. So I hung around for a few minutes and the dispatcher said they would ‘work on it’. Well, before too long the forklift driver saw I was still there and said ‘hey how long can you wait?’ I said, I can hang out for a bit.’ They ended up unloading me. Persistence pays off and sometimes you just have to be your own best advocate.

[@kmelodiq6403]

Dispatchers are the biggest liars in the business 😆

[@frankievillarreal9643]

That's why I always call the shippers give them the PO and they'll let you know when will be ready so you don't have to go over there and wait they don't always know what they're talking about when they say it's ready

[@mikesully52]

As a receiver, thank you. And if you're the type to call ahead, even more so. You guys being great at communication means less headaches for me. I wish dispatchers were better but I appreciate yall picking up the slack. My boss thinks it's weird I go out with 2 bottles of water and let drivers know they're free to use our facilities when they first get here even though they rarely need to or even need the water. But I've seen the difference between the average driver, and the ones that go the extra mile. I want the better drivers again in the future.

[@albertsalazar4263]

I think they know. They just want to make you wait. Paying your dues they call that.

[@dnmoscato92]

​@@mikesully52 absolutely. Give me a call. I'll look up your pickup number. Figure out your exact appointment time. And let you know if we can work you in early or not. But 10/10 If you walk up to my window begging to be loaded early because you "didn't know" your appointment time. I'm not doing you any favors. Unless you are one of my regulars. I go the extra mile for them. Lol just a fyi

[@mikesully52]

@@dnmoscato92 i don't mind trying to take care of their loads if I can, but they all know if they show up early it's a roll of the dice and if we can't, they'll have to come back the next day. They started calling ahead recently, now if only I could get the broker to send my info to new drivers...

[@Bigola]

I have been at the shipper for 9hours I had to drop the box and bobtail home due to drive time

[@HaulingDonkey]

One of the reasons I no longer do refer work is because of this. 9 hours you say? Try two days.🤬

[@wolfman1662]

I've been in that situation before. I love it when you get to the shipper or the reciever early then when they get you into the dock. " It's gonna take about 6 hours to unload you". " Ok can I sleep here tonight"? "No".

[@Bigola]

@@HaulingDonkey yes. Game stop warehouse. They had to unload by hand cos the package are in pieces. I drop the box they said i can can't sleep in their facility

[@kushnirm96]

“I got another call, I’ll call u back.” They never call back*

[@TruckingTom]

So true, when I was pulling a box van this happened more then I can count. Then I switched to flatbed and 9 out of 10 times I don't have to wait to get loaded or unloaded.

[@matj3296]

[@rickytoomey2430]

I have been done this way so many times. Brokers and dispatchers will tell you anything to get you to commit to the load

[@inakinahuelsantosangel3460]

Truck drivers need a new regulation stating time limitations for the dispatchers to do their part, if those time limitations are exceeded there should be a fine for the dispatcher and a bonification for the truck driver. Stop speaking to people, go talk with them pockets...

That is literally not up to the dispatcher, that is up to the shipper just being shitty. You get detention/layover which is extra money
