    i just quit for usa truck my trainer was a good trainer but the company not. i remember when i got d.o.t inspection the d.o.t oficer put me out of service in kentuky for a flat tire in the trailer i make the phone call and send my macro and never have a answer for the company they put me on hold for hours.another time the steering tire of my truck blow an the dispacher want me to drive back to dallas 85 milles north with no tire ,one time i been stuck in n.y state for a week whit no load asigment and only make 200 dlls. a week if you drop the load on friday afternoon you are lucky if you got a load for the weekend if not you have to expend all the weekend in the truck stop.

    what's not to understand??
    the breakdown people WILL keep you on hold forever. they suck axx.
    that was my biggest complaint with them, they do not take care of thier equiptment. i used to pick up trailers with mudflaps missing,flat tires,lights out ALL the time. drivers didn't want to bother with the BS breakdown gives ya to get stuff fixed. 2 FN hours to get a mudflap replaced is asenine!

    When your right your right. Use to pick up trailers with flats and told to drive up to 80 miles to a TA only to wait 5-6 hours while they gave TA a hard time about fixing the tire. Unloaded many, many fridays only to have to wait until the following Monday for a load. I Drive for Marten now, had a flat trailer tire last week, it took 15 minutes for breakdown to arrive and another 15 min for them to replace the tire and send me on my way. Nice driving for a real Trucking Company.

    Your a funny fellow. Discovered trailer tire was flat while fueling, called breakdown and by the time I parked a repair truck was there and the guy changed the tire in 15 minutes. There you go, now you know the rest of the story.
