An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Still sitting, and no word about any hopeful prospective loads.

 

I think some of the problem is the type of trailer I am pulling and the distance to Wichita to get rid of it. I have already told Newguy to pull me back off the OD board and all it's ######## and to figure out how to get me out from under this trailer.

I have a feeling, one way or another that this will be my last hometime as an SPD driver. By the time I get home I will have a decision on which direction I am headed and a departure plan in place. Apparently they don't need guys like me anymore, they need drivers who like to babysit trucks and run part time so I'll take my 4 million mile ### to a company that can utilize me better. If I weren't already working here, and was looking for a new company, I wouldn't even look twice at this company. It's hard to believe a company can go from a fun place to work to such a nightmare job in such a short period of time. But that's seems to be what happens when you involve Wylie.

 

I think someone narrowly avoided having a bad day

 

Not sure which post you're referring to, I have my settings set a bit different. I only show 261 pages.

I did have another member point me towards a company I had never heard of before. I checked them out on their webpage and even asked them a few questions via their 'contact us' tab. That was earlier this week, and I haven't heard back from them. The reason I thought about Shaffer again is simply because I can go from application to orientation in a matter of days if I need to. Plus I know their system, I know their policies and expectations, and I know what I liked and disliked about them. Sort of a "better the devil you know" scenario than some unfamiliar company.
