This happened early Sunday morning on 285 north around exit 10. When it blew i thought it was the tire I checked the tire not it so i drove the petro on exit 12 parked opened the hood and boom there it was. Called break down, dm , long story longer, it just got replaced today. God was i bored but I did get to do some free laundry and some grocery shopping...then my cooler went out but it is what it is.
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.
