Hi old school, I’ve not been on truckingtruth for some time. I used to work for Swift for about four years pulling dry van I’m now a Flatbedder at Gypsum Express......I noticed in your photo of you folding your tarps you have a Gypsum truck in the back ground. Is that who you used to work for? I’ve been a flatbed driver for nearly a year now and I love it 😎. I’ve always admired your posts and your love of trucking

Dm:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

Dry Van:

A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.

Hello Sir!

Great to hear from you again!

I remember you well, and I'm glad to hear you're still at it. That photo was taken in upstate New York while delivering a load of sheetrock. I'm sorry, I don't remember the customer, but there were several of us there. I was driving for Western Express at the time, but now am working for Knight on a dedicated flat bed gig hauling aluminum extrusions from various SAPA plants.

SAP:

Substance Abuse Professional

The Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is a person who evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare.
