    They're more than happy to help us out. (I made the laughing comment)

    Hell, even the 911 dispatcher KNEW where I was when I called. Without being told. They had recently repaved the road, and NOT replaced the 13'6" signs at the end of the street.

    But had (thank God) at the bridge. I was number 3 for the day.

    Suck it up and move on...we ALL make mistakes even though some on this board feel as if they are perfect. I would say a few companies to try out, but they mostly require 2 years experience.

    If you ever do get back out here, I'm thinking you should manage your time better.


    You can learn a lot from us "dam hicks".

    Ah,, I had Swift put me backing into a bush as an accident. I was super tired and pulled off to take a safety break. The DOT bumper pushed against the bush. The caretaker almost had a heart attack. So at 2am the police showed up to notate that said bush was not damaged. :biggrin_25512:

    #### i thought trucking was like a brother hood i mean it was your fault as you kind of got to expect something to happen sooner or later i mean you guys drive 365 days a year but #### kick a guy when hes down cut the guy some slack no excuse for carelessness but at the same time ####

    I agree, ####. Cut him some slack. I think most of us have had some close calls and just got lucky. Ive gotten lucky a couple times. These service failures sound lame as heck. You know with all those swift drivers, there is going to be a certain percentage of lame#ss DM's who abuse their positions. You know it! lol

    And tell those receivers/shippers to make room, or else youre not even going to attempt to move your truck, screw em.

    Sorry Driver. Theres drivers out there that have had much worse incidents/accidents and still drive.

    There is no slack when driving a truck.



    People's lives depend on everyone not slacking off.

    lol, ok sargeant Injun.

    Since when does a company report late loads on a DAC report? Is that even possible?

    Service failures can appear on a DAC. Anything a company reports can be there. It is not a safety rating like PSP. (CSA)

    I have heard of reports such as "argumentative" being placed on a DAC.






    Oh, boy....looks like I'm in trouble...
