Warning signs

It was a long weekend, chillax ma homie

 

If they want to get rid of you there are two very easy ways.

First they will tell you they want to route you back to the home terminal.

Second (as opposed to above) they will put you up in a nice hotel room and repo the truck while you sleep.

 

See, I don't buy the low miles to starve you out. I can see too many drivers for the amount of work they have though.
A truck simply costs too much money to not be moving when there are much simpler and cheaper ways to get rid of an employee.
And yes, I know there are companies that will on purposely starve a driver, but I also think it's rare.

 

I want to drive for that company! Ok I will only get up to 25 mph with it in high gear.

 

Careful. If you get too many jobs in a short period, no one will hire you. I speak from personal experience.

 

With me it was a message and then a phone call saying I had went over the "company speed limit"4 times in 2 days but they wouldn't discuss when and where all this happened, just terminated me from my lease.

 

They keep those in the "bank" for the future in case they want to use them against you

 

Notice the location of the radiator behind the 'firewall'; you get heat and A/C at the same time...

My Pappy drove one...5'8" with 'Popeye' arms & he said he had to put a foot in each corner of the 'dash' and grab one side of the wheel with BOTH hands to steer it....
