    The real kicker is that I was told by a manager that I would “get rich” very soon by driving more miles. They ca. tell a lot of people that but the only thing that shows me is that they are not a very good company to work for. I was born on a day, just not yesterday or today.

    That's what I did at my first gig. They didn't want us idling the truck over a certain percentage but we had to ,to keep from freezing or baking to death. They dinged us for over idling but it had to be done.

    Of course they will tell you that their main goal is to keep seats filled to have available trucks at ever corner so when a customer calls they can have a truck there in a blink of a eye.
    Drivers & cubical dwellers have been like oil & water always have been & always will be, they are car salesman & will go out of there way to bend the truth as far as it can be bent before it shatters.
    Glad that you seen the righting on the wall as soon as you did so that the bad taste in your mouth didn't put you in a rut that would've consumed you to think you would never see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    Was getting ready to make a phone call to a lady that someone on here referred me to and I can’t find the post or her phone number. I wanted to let him know that I was going to call her right now.

    Sitting in a Pilot south of Knoxville. Sat yesterday here. Went to the drop lot this morning and picked up a relay trailer and made it back here a whole 58 miles. Saw 2 wrecks on I-40 and decided to shut down for the day. We were supposed to have home time starting tomorrow but the company decided to push it out until Thursday or Friday. 9 more days, just 9 more days. We haven’t been able to take off the actual days we put in to take off since I started driving for this clown show. It’s been a day or two later. Now it’s almost a week later? This is a joke. Good thing I didn’t have an appointment to see my cardiologist! By the time we get back to the terminal in Edwardsville, IL. we will have been out 28 days.

    Why so much later this time? Seems a bit extreme to be so late
