Howdy all
I`m thinking of FFe myself,Ive been off the road for 5 yrs,but they said they have a refresher course.The 1 problem i have is leaving my current job.I make 18.50 an hour,home everyday,great benefits,union job...But I love trucking been at it for 23 years.
I currently haul trash,yes garbage locally My wife says I`m crazy for wanting togo b ack on the road,ok i am...she said if I do we`re done(we don`t have kids)that would make it easy transition.I get depressed thinking about the freedom of the road.what do you guys think

Wanting to let you know what happenned so I will try to shorten my responce as I have so much to say. I was made to drive, then kept awake by extremely loud radio (Sounded like I was In a bar) I even called my wife to hear what I was suppossed to be sleeping thru. She couldnt even hear me speak!!! Then forced to drive without sleeping at all. I had been up 36+ hours went to sleep and was woke up 30 minutes later with him shouting my name. I said to him what the F--- do you want now Ofer as I was opening up the curtain and sen Boarder Patrol standing at the door. Ofer later reported to J.D. and Bob that I had cussed Boarder Patrol and called them names. And all the time this was the guy with an attitude problem. I mean everyone he came into contact with he had to arguee with them. Didnt matter if it were a shipper, reciever, a sales clerk, another customer in a truck stop, or his own dispatcher he argueed with everyone. Anyway I was driving thru Houston about 3 P.M. he told me I had to stay in the right hand lane because our exit was coming up. Ok, I drove behind an old man for the next 16 miles at 40-45 miles an hour speed limit 60 with Ofer cussing him all the way. He got off on the same exit we did and Ofer finally let me go around him saying when you do I want you to lay on the Air horn an stay on it. I told him no the man was having trouble but he insisted saying I will fail you. Coming off the exit he told me to get into the far lane but I couldnt because I had 2 cars right beside me. He insisted that I do it antway. I repeated that I couldnt because of the cars and asked if I had another exit ther that I needed to get over for. He said no but I told you to get over there and thats what I want you to do and I want you to do it now so do it. I told him again I couldnt as I still had the same 2 cars beside me. He saidd I dont give a F--- I said get the F--- over now do it. I refused asking him how many people he wanted me to kill in the process. That I would get over when traffic allowed and not until then. I guess he reported me on all that too. Anyway when we got back to the yard I explained to J.D. that I didnt come there to drive like that and he told me that if I felt unsafe I shold get another driver. There is more to all this but it is a lot so I will move on. Again I would be singled out for another driving evaluation with Deb.

I encourage you to look else where the safe and professional B.S. is all on the Phone, I was leased on to this mob of frauds for a year and lost 85k, they take the o/o's crrent earnings and apply them to the next weeks expenses that way they think the o/o will stay in order to just eek out a living not much better for company drivers.

im thinking if they had video monitors in the trucks maybe they could get a better feel for whats really going on. I dont believe the companies want this kind of stuff happening. Its not upper managemant they are bringing in the people and wanting to get their work done as well as possible. I believe its the lower management. People like j.d. And bob who are responsible in fact i know it is. You will see this when i post on my last trainer. Not doing it today though its my birthday and i am going to be busy. Cya have a good day
