Very serious... If I can get him on the phone he is very helpful but as for responding to QC, not so much. I am just trying to get back to Memphis without killing anyone at this point. I will step back during home time and start fresh after. Everything was going smooth until I got to AZ so maybe it will smooth out if I can ever get out of here.

I used to think the same thing-- I'm too old to suffer like that. But you know what, it only takes a couple of days of true suffering in 104 heat to reacclimate your body and get used to it. When you keep your idle percentage down your DM will return your phone calls more often and respond to your QC messages quicker because it shows you are 'trying'.

I'm with you Buckeye....
You hit it right on the money...
It's a VERY bad deal thats goin on !!! -
Buckeye...you may find trucking to be more than just driving...there are plenty of ...uncomfortable situations out on the road...mann up is a very apt phrase for the things you are gonna be expected to put up with...the highway is a hard road.

Man up is an overused cliche'. Just like everyone else, I'm going to eat some crap sandwiches along the way, but I also know there will be limits of how many of those sandwiches I will gladly consume, before I start resisting and sticking up for myself. I don't have to drive a truck for a living. I want (some say I'm crazy) to. I am taking my decision seriously, but I have my current career to fall back on if driving for whatever reason, "chews me up and spits me out." I am hoping it won't come to that. -
Even when I didn't have much time here I told the planners I refused to go to certain areas. Still do.
I have rejected 2 loads in the last few hours going to Louisiana. They know I am to be home Christmas eve. Everytime your hometime comes up you get great load offerings. -

Choose your company Carefully and Idleing wont be an Issue!
