If one cannot better himself, than the responsibility lies with him to see exactly what circumstances he may be able to correct.Sthornton31 Thanks this. -
I love this job, wish I would have started 20 years ago, I'd be retired now.
I sometimes still can't believe my good fortune to get paid so well to do such a simple, low stress, low skill, mostly enjoyable job.Sthornton31 and Chinatown Thank this. -
Gypsum Express:

Performance Food Group:

Gypsum settled out of court - for the record, I am not making any disparaging remarks about Gypsum, it was the terminal manager who caused the issue.
PFG is pending litigation.
Predator's BS caught up with them and they were forced to go E-Logs, as was R&J. PFG is e-logs, but they still tried to work around it (i have no proof of that, unlike the workmans comp retaliation).
So before you make assumptions about someone, perhaps you should ask strategic questions to get more information. If you take a look at the threads I started (like the ones above) or the one about Golden Hawk, you will notice that I put in specific details. Not everyone writes like I do, but with the right questions, you could get more information out of people and make a better assertion about a person or a company. I refuse to allow someone else dictate the value of my life, and the lives of the other people on the road. If I need to get creative on my log by 15-30 minutes, *I* will weigh the variables and make that call. Not you, not Chinatown, not the moderators, not my wife, and definitely not the dispatcher, terminal manager, or even the owner of a company.
It's *MY* life on the line, not theirs
it's *MY* license on the line, not theirs
but it's also possible that it's a family member of *YOURS* on the line. Do you want an overhours, fatigued driver pulling 32,000 (we'll say an empty truck/trailer), crossing the zipper, putting your siblings/parents life in danger because their dispatcher told them to drive or get fired?
Guess I'm fired then.
Please see the article I was interviewed for:

Sthornton31 and Rusty Trawler Thank this.

Not all of us are fired from 6 jobs. Many people on this forum have problems because they are too hard headed to take advice. For example, we will do some research FOR THEM and maybe recommend Old Dominion, then they post they found the perfect job with CR England and ignored all the advice and probably didn't even research what was recommended.
Some of us have been very successful in trucking and had very few problems. -

Chinatown Thanks this.
