Any truck dispatchers here?

Any truck dispatchers here?

What's it like?

Also, what-do-you-do-for-a-living thread.

i would kill myself for a living

You ain't living long then.

Its not bad, I work 4 10s and its third shift

What exactly do you do? My understanding is you find things for trucks to carry around.

I shitpost Sup Forums for a living

Lol its just logistics. Just have something good waiting for you at home or know how to get down in your free time because this job isnt exciting or fun in any way.

You post dubs in Sup Forums for a living

It was described to me as a job with lots of pressure.

Any down time?

Fuck yes it is but half of the time you could be in a coma and they wouldnt know. Half of my day is YouTube because im pretty decent at getting shit done but if you like drinking coffee and having pent up anger that comes out randomly then youll love it. I flipped of an old lady today on the way home....knowing she was old. Only go in it if the schedule or pay is worth it!

OMG!
My desk and work life pictured perfectly here!
Bottle of wine at the end of the day takes the edge off...

I work for the U.S. Gov't as a contractor from a foreign country.

Gold star? Cookie?

>Only go in it if the schedule or pay is worth it!
Yeah, hoping it is. Starting out at $17.50 an hour but if the amount of pressure doesn't seem worth it, I'm getting out.

yes please

Its not bad if you want the desk, I dig the desk life. But if you can find third shift DO IT

Firefighter. HMU if you godda job.

Dubious amounts 50% of the time

17.5 isnt bad, some companies are pretty stress free given the possible situations. You should try it and if it doesnt work at least you know its not for you

What about a chocolate star??

Thanks user! Was hesitant at first but I'll give it a go.

Np good luck

>What about a chocolate star??
LOL THIS IS WHY I LOVE B, SO RANDOM

I fucking hate Sup Forums. Anyone who posts on it is a humongous faggot

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I have only the one chocolate star left here, its dangerous to go alone

I have sex with random women

More like random men lol

I work in brokerage for one of the US's largest transportation companies. Used to work in power only dispatch for them but left after two years.

Much better working in brokerage than asset dispatch. I work Wednesday-Friday 1700-0500 and every other Saturday.

Why'd you leave dispatch? Got tired?

Freight train conductor. Do nothing, make good money

depends on tje company big or small my dispatcher just goes to his screen and looks up at the pick ups that need to be picked up for that driver around that area

Sounds like pretty easy work.

I used to dispatch trucks for 2 years.

It's boring, I would always be on facebook and shit

TotalQualityLogistics is gay as fuck

i work at a marijuana dispensary, AMA

Has anyone asked you if you work at a marijuana dispensary yet?

I'm a GM for a cable company, and I want to kill myself.

Care to let out your emotions user? It's always good to just let go of your pent-up emotions from time to time.

I was standing outside of the store and someone did, just that one time tho

Get bent this is the soon-to-be equivalent of working at a liquor store

whatever man, i make well over minimum wage, get paid vacation and get flexible hours so im not really complaining

Entry-level electronics engineer, here.

I rebuild servo drives and various other industrial electronics. At the bottom of the ladder, so the pay is shit. ($10.50/hr)

Fair

>$10.50/hr
Hope the work is easy at that pay rate

... as in "went to engineering college" engineer?

Pretty simple and straighforward. Not much "engineering" required. Just a stepping stone for my career at the moment.

hey how do your PC screens work? can you move the mouse over the boundary from one screen to the other screen? or do you have other mice?

>can you move the mouse over the boundary from one screen to the other screen?
yes

Yes. But also worked in a semiconductor lab for about 6 months (contract) for one of the biggest devs in the nation. Learned a fuckload there.

Y change then

>722254546
Was a temporary contract. The company also was bought out by a Chinese company during my time there. They did away with contract workers once this was done. Whole restructuring took place. Wish I coulda stayed

Meant to:

home depot wage slave

Sucks bro. Did retail for 9.5 years

OTR Truck Driver here, my dispatcher is a fucking cunt that expects us to speed and drive 14 hours straight with no regards to our health and safety. Although $30/hour is nice and all(fuck getting paid by the mile) and the free health insurance is nice this shit is driving me insane. I swear I'm going to drive somewhere in Northern Canada, detach my trailer in an obscure location then park the truck somewhere in Flint, Michigan and pay a friend a grand to pick me up.
