And some free Roy Rodgers chicken! LOL

 

We used to get 20 bucks at exit 71 until some moron driver got caught shoplifting there.

 

The Burger King at exit 68 on I-84 gives up 20 bucks but I don't like stopping there because the parking lot is small and FungWah/Lucky Star stop there.

 

The Arbys at exit 12 on I-91 gives $20 too...alot of drivers don't stop there anymore after some moron passenger got hit crossing RT5 to get some cigarettes.

 

If you ever do NYC-Providence the rest area @ EX92 gives $20, plenty of parking and usually no other buses so you can get in and out real quick!

 

it always has to be one driver to **** it all up, the hilton in atlantic city gives drivers $20 for making it a first stop (even though at times its the last stop on the schedule), but an idiot decided to open his big mouth in front of management and i think the same idiot left passengers on the bus while it was running inside the casino to go get free food, smh. But i will definately stop at ex 92 whenever i do that providence run

Funny you say $20, I guess they're short changing the drivers cause a driver told me 15, but when I used to stop there I only got 10, but Burger King on the same exit gives you 15.

You mean like say "no thank you" to an assignment? Or "I don't want to go there, but I'll take something else..." Nooo, not unless things have changed. They'd call and (for NYC) you'd have 3 hours to get to the port authority. Many times they call and you don't even know where you are going when you go into work, many times they will call you in to go on "protection" (paid to sit around until/just in case they need you.

 

Unless you are sick or you utter the magic words, "I'm fatigued," then you can get the day off, but if I remember correctly you had to call them before they called you, and book off.

 

That is from what they've told me in training and based on what I've heard from classmates who stuck around.

 

I remember people telling me there are ways you can "work the board" in your favor, but I'm not even going to pretend I remember what was said about that.

 

You are definately right about not being able to refuse an assignment, there are some dispatchers that give you a choice when your name is next, in the mornings are mostly the turn schedules which is good because you come back home instead of goin to bed. Also if you don't have the certain amount of hours you can refuse an assigment. The dispatcher can't force you even if he tries.
