You know what i hate about the job? It isnt the stops or package count, its the fact that my biggest pet peeve is smelling good, fresh laundry, showered, cologne on, and then I get to work and within 2 minutes of sitting in the van I smell like somebody's unwashed week old gooch. Yeah the people piss me off, no hygiene and zero consideration for the fact that they wont be the only one in that seat, nasty motherfuckers man, all of em. (Edit since people are defending this nonsense, you shower and wear clean underwear each day i should not be able to smell your fucking ass in the morning, even with dirty pants, if you wore clean underwear and showered the last time you wore them they should absolutely not smell like diabetic 600lb week old sweaty gooch. Its obvious that you arent hygienic in the slightest, how do women manage to not project stinkage hmm? Because they take care of themselves you numbskulls)

I’ve worked at the same dispatch for 5 years now. I was one of their top drivers. I ran, turned it into exercise and had fun with it. I was consistent, worked 5 days for overtime, organized the company fantasy football league (at my home) and genuinely considered many of them friends.

The last quarter or so we’ve had a new dispatch. Who is absolutely awful. She is late daily, freaks out on drivers and as a result people stopped showing up for her shifts. This resulted in my routes becoming unmanageable. But because I was good I was told “I could handle it”. But eventually enough was enough and I reached out to my head dispatch about concerns; and got no response. Nothing. On a particularly nasty route late in the evening (10 hours into my shift) I ran a stop sign on a residential street. I came back to a write up with a 2 week suspension. Enough was enough. I quit. Within a day I had found a new dispatch around the corner and onboarding should be faster than my suspension.

But what shocked me was how indifferent they were. All I wanted was to be treated like everyone else instead of the company mule. They couldn’t even dignify me with a response when I quit. Fuck this place. Don’t ever forget no matter who you are in this job, that you are just a number, and that you are absolutely replaceable; true or not.

I just passed the driving test on day two of training and I start my first day next week, our dsp is brand new so we are all the very first drivers that day and only 6 of us so far what should I expect? Will I have to do a ride along the first day or are they just going to start us out on our own the first day since we are a brand new dsp company?
