Yet another reason I love my job...

[medic92]

I was originally due out yesterday at 5:00 pm to go to Colorado. Unfortunately my father had a heart attack on Friday morning and is in the hospital awaiting open heart surgery for five (possibly six) bypasses.

I called off the Colorado load and explained the situation to my dispatcher. Instead of losing time from work, they're letting me run short shuttle loads, trailer swaps and take doubles trailers to our doubles lot in Indiana. That way I'm still making money but never more than a few hours away from home in case something happens.

I know my last company never would have done that for me. I love how Dot shows they actually DO care about their employees and work with them in almost any situation.
