Sitting Constantly

So I just started up with Werner not too long ago. I got m sometime and they're leniant on it too which is pretty cool. But now I can't seem to get a load away from the house. I've been waiting around and they can't seem to find anything. Anyone ever have that problem with Werner? Hate to admit it but when I was with Swift I was always moving, I mean I can't complain about being at home, but I need to make money too.

People who are at home are normally the very last people to get assigned a load.. You don't want people sitting who are away from their families while people who are sitting home are sent after freight.

On top of the fact that you're at home you have to also consider that we're still in the slowest season of the year and apparently you're new to the company. Put those three factors together and you're the last person in the company that's getting assigned a load. And now it's the weekend so you have that also. Four things.

So hang in there and enjoy your time at home. This really has nothing to do with Werner. Under the circumstances you'd be the last dispatched at any company you worked for. That's truckin.

How long have you been waiting?

The problem may be that you are in a low freight area. Keep in contact with your fleet manager and make sure they have you listed as available for a load.

They shouldn't keep you sitting too long. I've had them send me on repositioning loads, just deadheading to a location with more freight.

Just out of curiosity, why did you leave Swift? I start school w/ them next month.
