absolutely unbelievable DWI, one of our company drivers

That or the boss just wants to wait until his driver is actually convicted... innocent until proven guilty sort of thing.

 

I am curious. What sort of *direct* problem do you have with your company?

What have they done to harm or restrict You?

Maybe your boss knew that driver for 30 years. Maybe he's related by marriage or blood. Maybe he wants to be seen as someone who will give drivers second chances, as long as nobody dies. Maybe he is too nice, and fell for a sob story. Maybe that driver has some sort of dirt on the boss about an affair, or whatever.

But none of that should matter to YOU. How does your boss treat YOU? How well does he maintain your truck? How realistic are his expectations for delivery?

Yes, there are some situations where I would drop a job, but my employer showing as much mercy as possible to a driver that made a stupid mistake that did not lead to someone getting hurt or dying is not one of those scenarios.

You seem to be very focused on yourself and your family. That's great. Keep it up. At the same time, you need to do the same at work. Focus on yourself, your truck, and your relationships with the boss, the office staff, and the customers.

 

well you ain't in Kansas anymore.

this is trucking.

you will not always get paid for what you do.

 

but you have greatly narrowed down the possibilities.

 

Maybe these guys are right and you should become a hairdresser.

 

The dairy has been nothing to do with YOU getting paid waiting time or not. Your boss is making that decision. Just like he's decided not to go after the farmer when his truck and you are held up there. That's your boss telling you that you're not worth him losing 30 bucks or so off his truck gross for the day. Maybe instead of whining and bellyaching online all the time you should try to show him you're better than the other jokers he has working for him. It doesn't sound like the bar is set very high

 

So you’re not in your 20s? Hahah I’ve been seeing your posts on here for the last 6 months thinking you were early 20s.... oh well. Not the first time I made something up unintentionally lol

 

You will be handled as a trainee since you have no recent otr exp.

 

but even so, (let's say), he's in his late 30's, early 40's.....he still complains way too much about his employers business.

i think he misses the structured life of a 9 to 5er.
