Fun With P And D!

You are ALIVE! LOL
And a few months ago you were so bummed about not fitting into that OTHER company that does not even matter any more. You stepped in a pile of **** and came out smelling like a rose.... Now your kids can say.... "My mama is a trucker!"

And you know what? I'm starting to run into my buddies from that "other" company and it's really cool. We're all still friendly, they recognize me, we re-introduce ourselves, I'm really happy to see them, and they're seeing me really happy. I had nothing against any of the drivers and I'd made some decent friends there. It was a couple of trainers/administrators who made me so miserable.
My company treats me so well, I bet they're wondering what it's like "over there" with my people.
And yeah, the kids do say their Mamma is a Trucker. LOL!

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.
Congrats MG👍 I learned along time ago that when God closes one door he always opens another. It's our choice if we walk through the door. I haven't been around near as much as I would like either. Been very busy. Keep up the good work and stay safe
And yeah, I love this company. They have been so good to me. Over and over, I've made so many mistakes (never the same one twice) and they've kept on reminding me that they want to set me up for success. They want me to get good. Truly, my heart belongs to this company.
just one other question, Mountain Girl ... since everything is going so well, why so blue??

TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

hey mountain girl i was wondering what company hires a student for p/d and line haul that is not that "other company". I read how you got treated with that "other company" and that sucks. I am pretty sure you have said what company you work for and i must have missed it sorry.
Line Haul:
Linehaul drivers will normally run loads from terminal to terminal for LTL (Less than Truckload) companies.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning them to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.Dm:
