Brought a load down from Alaska to Utah with no load back and company has me waiting for almost 3 weeks already with no typen of money for food just staying in my sleeper and doing the best I can to get by. What can I do to get my ### outta here and back home? Also found out they don't have cross city permits and my trailer isn't registered. They are only allowed to run in Alaska.
Stranded for almost 3 weeks

I wouldve been asking whats going on after 3 hours... If they want me to sit for 3 weeks they will put me up in a hotel, with room service and $300 a day in a paycheck... Or they can find me a load back or ill find another job there in utah and they can figure out how to get their pile of junk back to alaska... Aint no way in hell you should ever put up with that crap.. whats wrong with u driver, is this ur first job?

How much communication do u have with dispatch? They would get annoyed of me calling every 30 mins wondering whats going on.. no way in hell id ever sit in a sleeper for 3 weeks with no pay.. give them the 3 options i mentioned above .. 3 options is plenty. Stand up for yourself out here or companies will walk all over you.. theres a million jobs in utah you could be working for by the end of the week.Flat Earth Trucker, hope not dumb twucker, hotrod1653 and 8 others Thank this.
