I didn't worry before. Now I'm going to go after things on that report. One at a time.

I imagine companies aren't making much on Prime loads. Smart to get out from under them.

 

Too ironic, WP, Tony wants to hire you but can't because our own safety has participated in dinging your record, so much so, that they can't insure you. Plenty of trucking jobs out there. Get some fishing in, I'm jealous.​

 

Hope you can get it fixed. Let me s know how it goes.

 

Hey duuudes, can someone PM me the Company # for the Connected Driver app? I don't want dispatch to know how dumb I am, thanks!

Edit: Got it, thanks Zata

 

Wow, Congrats! That's over two round trips to the moon.

 

Our Connected driver app is screwing up too...it's a Peoplenet network glitch.

 

When you take 10 days off and expecting a $0 pay check, but the bonus payout happens and your $0 paycheck is actually $792 bonus. Win.

 

That's better than a kick in the junk for sure.

 

@WesternPlains if you're going to keep driving, get your own dash cam. I already suggested it to another driver. Mine was $130 plus $30 for a bigger sd card. Came same day shipping thanks to prime. Such a small price to pay to cover your own butt. Mine shoots 2160p and just loops over old crap. Great quality and I have my settings maxed on 128g card. Has wifi so I can syn my phone and download content right there. Also has a built in screen so I can view content with the device if needed. No longer need to rely on the company cam or getting footage from them. Some 3m plastic velcro like they use on the prepass systems makes it easy to remove and mount.

Just my 2 cents though. Protect yourself because people are crazy out here.

 

Thanks Ray. I already got me one. Can't depend on any company to provide dash cam video for your defense.
This new job seems great. Starting this afternoon. Very much communicate well with the owner. Hoping this is one of the exceptions to employment around here. There are some. Most are just awful. Right now I'm thinking maybe this was the answer for me. I didn't know it? I may very well be happy here for the long term. It's a medium size company. Not from here. Working out of several cities around the country. Got 32 drivers here. I will be going out overnight, a couple nights a week. That's good. I like that. Loved OTR.
Had a humorous thought. Schedule like my first job. Only my home isn't a truck stop in Denver.
I tried mowing my lawn yesterday. Had to stop so many times because of pain in legs. Took me 5 hours to do what should take an hour. I'm feeling generally better today. Rehabilitation hurts.
On that CSA score. Am thinking part of the problem is the service they use to report it. They added to what is there. Creatively made it look as bad as they can for the driver. Like adding: Violation of Local Laws. I never violated any local law. When it was DOT wanting it to be none of FMCSA's business. It was much more between my Company and DOT, than DOT and myself. That's what DOT said at the time. No CSA points against me. DOT didn't allow them anything to rationalize any points against me. It was something addressed to the company with a fine. But I had to be on there as the driver. They wouldn't let the truck go until the company paid the fine. And these idiots added that I must have violated local laws. It's a lie. They added it as a violation on an inspection. When my inspection was clean. Can't do anything about them. I'm still gonna work on it. Might be wasting my time. No need. But still want to get the actual FMCSA report straight and correct.

EDIT: In case you're wondering. My first job after getting my Class A was awful. The company was good. Upper management great to me. But from the terminal manager on down was generally awful. Trailers in awful shape. Didn't do diddily to teach me how to drive. Just turned me loose in Denver. I had to figure it all out myself. Then 6 weeks after I started Class A driving. I got nailed with 32 csa points. It wasn't that I didn't know. It was that I couldn't get anything fixed. I found out through that, how to get stuff fixed outside the company, out on the road. It was constant problems, every stinking run. It was Tony who convinced me to stay for a year. Regardless of my CSA score. Would show better that I put up with it. Showed that I'm stable. So I fought for a year. Every last stinking run, it was something else I had to take care of. I can remember replacing 7 tires on trailers in a month at Loves. I could go on and on and bore you.
