Be honest: Have you ever Googled, “I hate my truck dispatcher” and read message boards with other angry truck drivers? (Believe me, they’re out there.) Maybe you just don’t see eye to eye because you’re oil and your dispatcher is water. Maybe you don’t feel like your dispatcher gets it. They don’t get you and they don’t understand how difficult and frustrating your job can be. And when you don’t like your truck dispatcher, chances are that you’re unhappy with the loads you’re pulling, the pay you’re getting and the home time you are or are not getting. The top reasons why over-the-road (OTR) truckers quit their jobs? Pay, home time and a dispatcher (or driver manager) who just doesn’t get it.
