Not new to the trucking industry and we are finding that companies are starting to cut drivers pay + benefits. We are also finding dispatch trying to pull you off your load and pushing you to swap loads with another driver because they ran out of hours. Never asking you if you have the hours to complete the swap, and when you say no, you have created a problem for yourself. Just this one trip caused me a major problem, here is the deal. Had been driving say 4 hrs., Q-comm goes off and they wanted ...

Well now they're keeping me busy. I went home with an empty flatbed, got sent to Ft Bragg, carried 3 vehicles to IN, (after a slight snow delay), was immediatly sent to MI to pick up a load going to MS.

I enjoy watching others eating my creations, even if they are simple meals at times. I would love ...
