If you ever pulled a Papa John's trailer

i think you misunderstood who my statement was directed at. i was directing that to the people complaining about snitching on a company that runs its workers ragged. thanks

 

Ummm no, it is by no means legal to sleep or be on the top bunk while the truck is in motion. Get caught doing it and see what happens.

 

I was just shaking my head at the absurdity of it. Not a fail of a post, but a fail of a situation.

I've been looking for good local work for the past month and there are a lot of so-called "local" or "home every week" stuff where you've got to run complete outlaw dodging toll booths and weigh stations.

For a lot of these outfits, the solution to run legal is teaming people up but not telling you until you are hired that you will have to run team. Then good luck with your DAC if you leave. It is a mess.

Oh, and by the way, home 2 days a week means getting in late Friday and leaving back out Saturday night.

 

I used to work for PJ's out of the Jackson, Mississippi commissary for Ryder.

I burned my bridges behind me when I left, and I don't regret it one bit.

 

Bamanation, no one sould be made to run illegally, nor to work unsafely. I'm a 44 year ,almost 45 year veteran OTR driver,and I've seen them ALL.
If YOU want to "suck it up" and say nothing, go for it.Iit's still a free country, and if that driver wants to bring tem to cases,I say'let it ROLL"

 

typical of why the way things are today,the only good thing is the likes of the drivers putting up with it are dwindling

 

listen i have been with pappa johns for 3 months. Yes we run 3 to a truckmost of the time..Yes this work is hard.. Tried greatwide for 6 months lost my butt an put on 40 pounds.. My average check here is 1800 a week with weekends off .. Thats getting in at 5 am sat an starting 8am monday..This job is not for everyone an its tough to sleep up top bunk,, But i will never again do that owner operator crap

 

all youse doing is scratching the doggie's back. of course, the company is going to push the cart until the wheels fall off. alls we can do is stay ahead of the poser's who are milking our cow and try to keep a smile while we're kissing management's left toe...
