    I'm really diligent checking mine, sometimes there's more than I planned because I don't always figure on detention or short pay, but only issue I ever had with an actual trip pay was my own fault.

    But you're special... possibly related to Tonn somehow because nothing negative happens in your world. Hell, @drvrtech77 had a good experience with the company and use to say it had to be me because of all the crap that happened, but now I'm gone, the same crap is finding it's way to his side of things...bottom line, that corporation use to be a good company but they're taking a massive nosedive towards bottom feeder level, and if they don't change their ways, they'll just be another Swift/CRE/Western Express doppleganger.

    Instead of forced fueling, Creaffer needs this app

    It is tied to our fuel cards and our fuel network. You key in your start location and an end location (I use an estimated range for my fuel level). Then it pulls up fuel locations on that route and highlights in green the best price after the company discount along that route.

    That way we can choose our own fuel stops along our route and still save the company money on fuel purchases



    If I needed fuel near my loction, I could save the company $0.90/gal across the street

    I'm definitely not special or related. I've never claimed anything was perfect here, but pay is one thing that always was. That was my comment, just because you had bad experiences doesn't mean everyone does. I've had a lot of bad situations, but they are usually handled as quickly as possible. I just choose to have an upbeat attitude. I once had 4 trucks in less than 6 months due to mechanical issues, so it's not always rosy.
    I'm not criticizing you or your situation,I know things aren't like they were here years ago, but I'm just saying I don't think things are as dire here as some are portraying. I'm making more money than ever, I haven't seen miles drop yet, although I expect they will drop some. I've been getting deadhead further at times but miles have been enough to bonus every quarter. I'm a couple years from retiring, so money is my main goal at this point, and I can't find anywhere I can come close to this money without working way harder. I'm on the dry side and a lot of the issues I'm hearing have been on the reefer side, so maybe that's part of it. I would likely leave if they made me do reefer, as I don't like all of the washouts and grocery warehouses. I like to stay away from the coasts as much as possible, and that's easier at times on the dry side. I do well if I can stay away from i5 and i95.
    I hope you get what you're looking for with your new job, I really do.

    Got my next load that I can bobtail too.

    Picking up a load of 'shoes' I believe from L Brands destined for New Jersey. The deep New Jersey since it delivers right across the bay from New York city. Can practically see Manhattan from where it's dropping.
