    Dang! That's crazy stuff man! Well we're overloaded with loads, I got a message on my Quallcom today and it they said we're 48 loads behind. About 95% of those are 450+ mile loads. Maybe one thing that help's us is that out terminal is fenced in with the Wal-Mart distribution center, I don't know? We're always busy though. I hope things get better for you over there!

    Everything WAS going great! The company Greatwide itself was awesome! I was getting 2500+ a week. I stopped working for them because the owner operator I was working for stopped paying me, I was constantly chasing money. I was being paid late every week asking when I would get paid. So I up and left him, I tried to change owner operator's but there were no openings. So I went back to my old job. It's local, paid weekly so everything is working out pretty good now. Greatwide itself was a awesome company! Always had loads, miles, friendly, just a all around good company from what I seen.

    But your story sounds all to familiar. 2500 miles this week 500 next. One week you get a call daily and can't get any sleep the next you run every 3rd day. I am looking for something else just not a lot going on right now. I have been with them for about 6 years. It use to be great up until about 2 1/2 years ago. Ray Greer and John Simone decided we needed a centralized dispatch it has been all downhill since then. Heck even the dispatchers (the ones at the window that had out paperwork not central) have a strong dislike for it. Like I said I use to really love this place. At 1 point I was making 2k bring home on 4 1/2 days.. Now I have to work 7 to clear a grand. Lovely huh:biggrin_25510:
