Not sure about this company.

Exhaust light and def light have to do with regens. I'm pretty sure it's normal. Most trucks have abs lights on.
Those aren't big issues. I would stick it out at least for 3months. Maybe they get the hang of a new truck. Contact your dispatcher,trainer. Communication is everything. After all that if things don't change. Many companies to work for.
Good luck

 

If you find a better company with better equipment and freight lanes, then move on.
Every day you live is one day less you have to live.
Life is short.
Just because you're the new man at the company is no reason to be treated as a 2nd class citizen.

 

From a guy with a whole week in his truck, maybe you should leave trucking is not for everyone.

 

How do you know it won’t get better? If this is your mind set, then you have already lost. When you were on the training truck, the dispatch center is aware of that truck. They are used to having that truck to load. Even with a trainee aboard. Here is another thing, when a new driver goes solo, they give you a crap truck, this is normal. Doesn’t mean it’s good, just how it is. Why would I give a new truck to someone that I have no track record with? They gonna tear it up? So in 6 months, after the driver has been around, proven that they can be trusted, I move them to a better truck, then maybe a few more months, if an even newer truck opens up, maybe I move them to that one. There’s a lot of things that play into how a driver is treated. A lot of small companies, seniority plays a part. Prove your worth, do the job, don’t hit things. Stop complaining. Make yourself an asset and things get better fast. Maybe in a few weeks, a conversation with the DM about what you would like to do, how you want to run and how you two can work better together is in order.

Welcome to trucking.

 

Ok your new to the trucking industry so I'll give you some slack here, as you've still got a lot to learn, its like raw recruits arriving on the battlefield thinking they know everything until the battle starts then their all scurrying into the trenches. The key to working for any company is do your due diligence have a look around speak to some of the other drivers personally, or if you can come on here before you sign up and ask or research the company. Its no good complaining about having to drive 60 miles to the depot this is something you should of checked out before you signed on, if you live far away from any of the major hubs this will always be an issue unless you can find a company that will allow you to take your Tractor home, maybe offer to cover the fuel costs, that may make them allow you to bring it home, or perhaps you live in an area which they may consider unsafe to park the truck these are all factors any company manager is going to factor in.

 

You will have 2 more jobs before the year ends...then you will move on to another industry. Guaranteed.

 

You don’t have a thick enough skin for trucking, how could ever think you’ll get hard enough for the big screen?
