A huge trucking company can afford it a lot better than I can. There are many times we go above and beyond the call of duty and take care of things for them. Tape up a wire, fix a spring, etc, etc. Saves them hundreds. Putting a scrape on a trailer is tame. Nature of the business. When I worked for Volume you had to wait two hours for detention to even start, and then be there the entire 3rd hour for a huge sum of $12. All because they kept their trailers in a state of disprepair and would never put fresh tires on. So don't lecture me about being fair.
Probably fired and want more training

LOL... so let's rewrite the job description for truckers... 1. Drive, 2,tape a wire, 3, fix a spring 4. tear up other people's property...
sort of like Mother Theresa... if she burned down a few hospitals in Calcutta.
No wonder the industry is the way it is.
As for equipment being in disrepair... just who the hell is using said equipment on a daily basis.. When I got sent to a shipper and the trailer had three flats on it and wasn't washed out.. I didn't blame the company.. The industry is full of low quality, low character, entitled and selfish ########... its the worst part of the industry...low quality driversdwells40 Thanks this. -

There are days that being a female driver sucks. The majority of male drivers are awesome. There are just some hurdles for females in this field that eat at your soul a bit before you ever get to backing. It’s not learning to back. It’s believing in yourself that is the Biggest hurdle. “Those who believe they can and those who believe they cannot are both usually right.”
