Apparently my company got a new lane that starts Monday or Tuesday. The only problem is they dont have a driver to cover it yet. My DM asked if I would be willing to cover it for a week or so until they get a regular driver for it.
One benefit will be getting to take my son to his first day of high school. He lives about 50 miles from the final.
It will only be about 370 miles a day, but I will get the higher pay rate. We shall see though. Hopefully they will get a regular driver soon though because I'm ready for a couple days in my own bed.
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.
