    Hey guys, I'm a new driver, long time lurker, and unfortunately I don't have many options as far as leaving goes. I've been stuck under a load for 56 hours now in Minooka that customer service can't get the right delivery number for. I've gotten 400 miles this week and since I can't deliver the load I probably won't get paid for it until the next pay period. I'm a company driver I feel like I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole.

    My last fuel stop was at a Swift terminal and they aren't set up to provide reefer fuel or DEF and getting authorized for another fuel stop has been a headache.

    When I was in training I loved driving for Central but this merge has been a wreck so far. I'm really hoping things improve. I can't even pay my tuition.

    The weekend staff are complete... just... I'm really frustrated.

    It's been 70+ hours and now I'm dealing with these guys. It's like they don't read the messages, take hours to respond to you, and when they do it's complete ########.

    Do the DM's not fill in the night/weekend staff before they leave? The load I'm sitting was already 8 days late when I got it, now it's 12 days and counting. I've got another load I'm picking up at the same place and it delivers Monday night in Ohio, I still haven't received the correct pick up number for that and we all know how USCS is about their numbers.

    I'd call human resources if I thought it would do any good. I'm stuck at this #### pilot eating Arby's and trying not to go through my emergency stash of food. If I was an L/O I don't know how they would expect me to make a #### truck payment if they can't give me any miles.
