That's awesome! Old School just posted a similar story of recent events for him.
You guys keep showing great examples of what can happen when you treat your FM (or DM) right and treat your job as important.
Safe travels and enjoy the game (and family time.)

So it’s the time of season for little league. My son has several games during the week on Tuesdays and thursdays and some on Saturday. May 1st is his opening game.
I knew two of my plans that would end up near the Kraft plant that we ship out of on Tuesday morning. So I sent a note to my FM asking if I could have a plan for Tuesday to end up in Johnstown Tuesday night for my 10 hour. I also told them if it wasn’t available, no worries. I kid you not...in less than 5 minutes I was planned on a load for Tuesday heading to Johnstown.
So excited to be able to see his first game and appreciative of the relationship between myself, my FM and the planner.
Play Ball!!!

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.
