Magnum Express Inc.

What a slogan! On Time On purpose? I really have no idea what they are trying to say here. it is better than Delivered Late Accidently, I guess.

I got a few days at home from Saturday eve-until Wed afternoon. I didn't have any luck getting a load out of Avon Lake, Ohio. I deadheaded the 150 miles home Saturday.I had a nice weekend at home with Kathy, Nicole Kitty Girl and the squirrels. I'm in Indianapolis right now waiting for a load out. I picked one up yesterday going from Auburn Hills Michigan to Plainfield Indiana. I did have one little wrench in the works on this one though. My dispatch said I had to be at the drop between 515-530am, after arriving I find out that they don't open receiving until 6am, no big deal just 45 min. When I get in a 6am I find out I have an 11am appointment. I call dispatch and they confirm that my appointment is for 11am, go figure. I am not really mad it just irks me when my time is not valued by others. I wonder how many other jobs there are where they tell you to be somewhere at 515am and you don't start for 5 hours and 45 min. Just wait for free. Possibly dispatch had hoped they would take me earlier, that is quite understandable. There's a good chance I would have still came earlier, but jeez give me proper information.
