You know why drivers get starved, because they piss someone off. Take one of those layovers and figure out who you pissed off, make a phone call and apologize. Watch your miles jump up considerably. Sometimes, pride isn't the best thing have.Army91W Thanks this. -

I don't even grovel to PAM's feet. I just do my job. Sure, I do favors, but I also get returns on those favors. Extra day off here and there, shuttle pay, etc. No one here is asking you to be a servant to anyone in PAM's ranks. We're simply suggesting you change your approach on your attitude. Now if you want to continue your back and forth childish tirade, go ahead. But I'll be the first to dismiss any and all problems you have asked this community to assist you with. It's rather apparent you don't want any help, you just want a place you can ##### and whine about how you're being treated unfairly. Very likely you did it to yourself. So, be the bigger person and do the right thing. Apologize. Until then, you'll just get your just desserts. -

It's the slow season. Usually from 4th of July until the middle of September freight is slow. Sometime in September holiday freight starts and we run pretty good until New Years. Then there is a dip in miles again until income tax time and people start spending money again. For now, just try to make yourself available, let your DM know that you want to run. If that doesn't work, then run as hard as you can to get as close to your drop as possible then sit on the load until your appt time. You may be able to get some layover pay that way. I know it's not much, but every dime helps during these slow times. Also, when you get pissed at PAM and are ready to go to greener pastures, pull out your computer and go to just about any trucking companies forum on this sight. You will find alot of the same complaints there as you do here. Heck some are even worse. Is PAM perfect? Of course not, but they are not a bad place to get your 1st year experience, then make a more informed desicion about moving on. Been here just under 2 years now have nearly quit a number of times, but after finding that next perfect company then doing a lot of research, I have found that all companies have some type of BS to put up with. At least I know PAM's and can put up with it so far. Just my 2 cents

Wow RICO, sorry to see you are such a bitter human being. Do you realize by attacking any poster with a differing opinion, you only erode your own credibility? I hope tomorrow is a better day for you than today. Be blessed.
