Big mistake...

I just went and read your 17 previous posts, and from starting s crude oil company hauling business in OKC, to not having any money to pay for school - and now this post?

You sure sounded like you'd peed off a few bridges, but now . . . I don't know what to tell you.

Good luck - whatever you decide.

 

There are a lot of people who can't sleep in moving vehicles, I am not one of them. It either takes time to get used to it or it never does and you never sleep. What ever it is, taking "stuff" to help you sleep may cause you to run into problems of fatigue later on when you not getting any real sleep but just little naps during a long period of time. The real problem isn't with the company, they can work with you IF YOU talk to them but it is what happens when your body actually decides that there is a real need for sleep and shuts down on you, while you are driving. Then what?

 

I agree with this, and this is why I recommend niacin. It has a relaxing effect on the body, but it doesn't "make" you sleep. You could stay awake just fine with it if you wanted to. It does help you achieve a nice, natural sleep.

Melatonin will more or less "make" you sleep. I never preferred the melatonin sleep to the Niacin sleep though. Melatonin sleep feels a little unnatural to me, but it is definitely more powerful and it is better than no sleep.

The store I worked in was an organic food Coop and I learned a ton about being very health conscious. That being said, I still believe in Niacin as a sleep aid that helps you get a very natural sleep with no grogginess in the morning. Not being able to sleep is most likely indicative of a more serious underlying problem that should be dealt with at the soonest available opportunity, but in the meantime, and until you can figure that out, Niacin or other natural sleep aids might help you save your job.

 

I hear ya. It bothers me daily - and you can see it on this forum now and then.

 

Don't put your life,or your co-drivers in jeoprody,or the drivers around you.
If you can't sleep,you can't sleep.You need to think about your license as well.
CRST is raping the craigslist for some reason,and I don't believe its because they
have a low turnover,and lots of great loads.
Get some good sleep,and make a clear headed decision,and make every attempt
to work out a deal on your contract.
I wouldn't drive sleepy.Your gonna end up crashed out sooner,or later.Good luck man

 

There is another natural sleep aid, but it requires a willing partner... or a tube sock.





Oh, and keep the curtains closed and clean up after yourself, will ya?

 

Here's A Risky Bit Of Advice But A Useful Option. Do Whatever You Can To Make THEM Get Rid Of YOU! See You Need To Hold Up Your Contract But If they Get Rid Of You, Oh Well, THEY Voided The Contract And Therefore You Are Not Responsible. Now You're Free To Go Where You Choose. Start Showing Up Late, Or Start Burning Through Tires And Brakes. You'll Cost Them Too Much Money And They'll Get Rid Of You, To Them It's More Cost Effective, And as Long As You Don't Do Anything Illegal They Can't Suspend Your Licence. I Hope This Helps If Not sorry to Waste Your Time.

 

what if you agree to do something with out being fully informed of the situation? also why on earth does he owe a crap company like crst anything. screw em, they would certainly screw you.

 

I would say, go talk to a recruter for another co. Tell them what your going through, repeat that you want to fullfill your contract but you wont risk lives to do so. See if you find someone who will respect that and work with you, but whatever you do TELL your codriver. I would want to know and so would you

 

Wouldn't the company ding his DAC in that case? Then wouldn't that make it harder to find another driving job?
