They can't make you do anything. They absolutely cannot make you run illegal hours.
What does your contract say?
Are you still working there?

 

just say no.

 

But you get to pretend you're a real O/O.

 

There are more holes in this story than Swiss Cheese. I'd love for a company the even attempt to push that malarkey on me. If I don't want to buy your truck and trailer, you ###### well can't make me. The last "company" that charged me for anything, I quit. My friend wants me to come back, but I'm happy being home every day and not trapped in the middle of West Virginia again. Tell me I can't take home time once, and I'm parking your truck back at the terminal and flying home. That's where an emergency fund comes into play. I had enough to buy my plane ticket, pay baggage fees and grab an Uber to the airport. I even had enough for the overpriced breakfast at the O'Haire airport before taking off. Running off of zero sleep? Well, I'm getting that in writing and showing it to DOT.

How were we thinking the same thing?

 

When I went through it with the ####cago company that I was with, I was constantly looking. I was one of the those drivers in the sunrise of my career and like this driver, I had to learn the hard way. When I went into other jobs, I had my eyes wide open for anything and everything. After being scammed one time, I left. My friend and he co-owner of the aforementioned company, claim to have done a hostile takeover. I sure as hell am NOT going back to find out. One time was punishment enough. I wish any driver going through this a speedy way out of companies like this. No sir, I wasn't crapping on this driver. The "holes" I'm talking about are their policies.

 

There seems to be a never ending supply of dumb and inexperienced drivers. Also, a never ending supply of sleazoid companies that will take cruel advantage of them.

 

That's a lot going on there man. Yikes. How long you been driving?
