    Hopefully Abilene makes him eat all the costs, it will be an expensive lesson, but maybe he will realize he should have spent the $13.00.

    All he’ll need to do is threaten to quit and they’ll wipe the slate clean. One thing is a definite, there is no accountability, hasn’t been any since the buyout.

    That’s typical mega outfit behavior… They’re so scared of losing drivers they don’t wanna hold nobody accountable for screwing up… They would rather keep that bad idiot driver then to lose one…

    It’s days like this that trucking is the farthest thing on my mind along with the Abilene follies.

    Mom started her bi-weekly chemo treatments as outpatient this morning. Thank god my wife is able to be with her every step of the way. She’s doing it as outpatient not far from the house. It’s 3 hours worth. I never ask for anything, but a thought or prayer would be appreciated. Thanks all, safe travels.

    Words during times like this are really hard to express enough care and hope, but allow me to say that I pray that God will shed His Amazing Grace upon your mom and your family during the ordeal that y'all are going thru.

    JohnBoy,
    I do not personally know you but your personality and great attitude make me feel like part of your extended family. I will give my personal hopes and prayers for you, your mother and your great wife. By the grace of the Lord above may your Mother have a complete and painless recovery.

    I’m getting sick and tired of broker freight. Especially bottom of the barrel brokers. This company needs to hit the pavement and find their own customers instead of dealing with these lowlife degenerates. Here is the end of this nonexistent double dipped load that I was sent on a wild goose chase for.


    Good Morning. Did anyone send you
    32712652


    Yes. It too was wrong. I waited 3.5 hours, multiple phone calls to the broker, constantly being told by multiple people we're working on it, we'll call you back. Not even the courtesy to call me and tell me anything. I finally left and went to the truck stop with no load. I'm not doing that load, for that broker. If it means I have to sit here all week so be it. To say I'm pissed off is an understatement.

    I totally understand.
    I'm waiting for customer service to get here to see if we can rectify this matter.


    Ok. I'm going in and grab a shower and breakfast.
