We can swap idiot DM stories all day long. Or ##### about stupid company polices/practices that "drive turnover". But to lay the industry's high turnover soley on the carriers is ludicrous.Lonesome Thanks this. -
My DM called me this morning to confirm when I needed to be home for my wife’s cataract surgery. He was actually caring and concerned. Which one of you guys called him and told him I am looking for a new company???

That's just crazy. I don't blame you for being upset. When my truck batteries were bad, it was starting to charge every 2 hours, then run for 2 hours charging, so it was pretty much 50%when I was parked. Not exactly sure what overall idle was, but had to be 30 or more. I still never got anything from my fleet manager. Yours must be on a power trip of some kind.
Lonesome Thanks this. -

Well, my weekend and start of the week are already preplanned. I drop/hook (load to load) in Henderson, NV on Friday. Deliver in Stockton, CA on Sunday, then pick up 70 miles away from Stockton on Sunday and deliver in OR on Monday. No extra time to stop and donate any gambling losses to the local Henderson/Vegas economy.
Speed_Drums and Lonesome Thank this. -

Considering how much they have you driving 31% idle is pretty crazy. Imagine if you were sitting around all the time. 50%+ I'd imagine.
It makes no sense that they don't actually test the batteries because if they did, or actually knew how to do it correctly, then they'd see that they are toast.
I had a truck a few years ago just like that, I think it sat somewhere for a couple months before I got it, they recharged the dead batteries, then I drove it for the next year idling every 2 hours with them telling me that nothing was wrong until I took it to freightliner.Lonesome Thanks this.
