Hope I Didn't Screw Up..
Topic 10181 | Page 1
My DM called me, literally as my wife pulled up to get me for my home time. Asked me if I could take an extra lead tomorrow. I declined because it's my wife's birthday and we had plans set up already. My new dedicated account I'm home every weekend, but I requested this one 3 weeks ago when I was otr.. I told him any other extra runs he gets I'll take, but I can't help but feel like I should've maybe taken it.... I almost want him to ask me next weekend.
No you'll be fine. You were already sent home and your wife was there to get you. They won't think anything of it.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Dm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

He said he'd feel bad getting me in trouble with the wife. Lol
