My Experience as a Line Haul Driver

Sounds like someone is missing their old red 379 @ Lonestar. Ah, the lessons of "real life" University that we all learn.................

 

Give AT a break guys. At least he is learning from his mistakes. Personally, I admire AT for putting up with so much.

KH

 

At least you admit your mistakes. Other opportunities will come to you, just got to give it time

 

AT,

I want to say that I am proud of you for doing whats right and following the rules. These big companies put the drivers in these ###### if you do and ###### if you dont situations. The fact that you are going to the shop every day to get something fixed is awesome. You are doing everything right. The fact that they are still in business is because 95% of their drivers dont. And unfortunately, you are left cleaning up other drivers messes. Taking pride in yourself and doing whats right, regardless of the outfit, is a quality that our industry, if not the entire USA, needs. Remember, no placard, no dice. And I cant believe the TM said call "CT Saftey." Hahaha.

Brother, I would call YRC and tell them you would take them up on their offer. Flex Board, Crazy Schedules, Night, Day, Line Haul, Peddle. THATS ONLY TEMPORARY. You can retire with dignity from an outfit like YRC.

Let me tell ya. At your age and with your responsibilities, its better to suck it up now, then when you are 35, with a family, and trying to do it. By time you are my age, you'll have your own run. And wont be asked to run Illegal driving nickle/dime equipment.



Keep choosing the right AT!

 

after you ripped me for switching jobs so much, but what you don't realize is there are places far worse than where you are now...

I wouldnt waste my time foolin around there and risking your clean record with their lax rules and junk equipment.

 

At YRC they would NEVER do that to you and make sure you have all the right stuff. Same with CWF. I would've walked right off the job ASAP I wouldn't play their games

 

AT, don't post that type of stuff on the internet. Remember some of your fans on here have something out against you that could possibly get you in trouble with your company or have DOT on the lookout. Cover your butt and delete that post about that load.

 

Dude I did my time at a BFI for four years and also landed a job at a local company with three days off a week and over 60 k a year.7 jobs in seven years.LOL.
