What's new

ODFL | Central Dispatch

Luckily I don't have to call them often. When I'm at a terminal sometimes they have to call to find out what central's master plan is and it seems to take quite a while but in reality is 3-5 min.
I heard they have a new regional planner in GBO, suddenly all freight patterns have seemed to change with GBO becoming the center of the universe.
 
It depends on who is working. I tried to call a few weekends ago and waited from 630-710 at 710 he says call back in 20 min. I call back and gave up calling at 800am. This has been a big complaint with this certain dispatcher as long as Ive worked here. The guy who works days opposite him answers quickly.
 
I like him I work Sundays and he was working today. I think he is a old timer and he is a truckers friend. I guess I understand why he is unpopular with some people but he will back up the trucker if he can.
 
during the week i never have a problem getting threw to central but on the weekends omg thats a diffrent story. especially when you have to the listen to the recording they have for 30 min

They've got that on most of the phones now.The whole history and nothing but the history.If a man was mad to begin with that's not helping.
 
i call in every weekend at the same time right when the shift starts 5 am eastern time and there just sittin down and threw right away i even ran good friday cause they were only runnin a skeleton crew for the city.
 
I called one day and apparently got the bypass line to some nice woman,although very eccentric.I asked her I was trying to get through to central dispatch,she tells me there isn't one:hysterical:
