    Big G is a joke ask any driver that has or still workes there about there turn over its crazy. If you work there and quit they try to make your life ####. What im trying to say is stay away if you like to work.

    Did you follow the typical chain of command? usually going higher up till you get somebody that will understand your needs. Your dispatcher or even your dispatchers boss is not good enough for me. Heck I would of went Far up as I could on a situation like that stating a safety issue, no way could I be safe on the road while my wife was having surgery, my mind would been 100% on her and not on my job therefor creating a safety issue. Usually when you throw safety into it, somebody usually listens in most all companies. (key word "usually")

    I am not defending Big G, but I have spoke to a few drivers and they seemed to like it there.

    Anything else negative other then the issue you listed?
    what did you like about them? did you get miles or was they low?

    Well I Did Work There I Found Most Drivers Like To Stay In Shop Instead Of Driving. So I Always Said If U Got Time To Complain U Could Be Driving And Making Money Instaed Of Complaining
