Aint that the truth Patty. I had a soccer mom call on me several years ago.
The boss doesn't care what the situation was, the driver is always in the wrong.
I'm Done!!

had someone call in on me a few months ago. small co. and they said they know I am not that way, wreckless and aggresive driver. the four wheeler was one of those that like to play speed cop and try to slow me down.
drive for a company where they can get to know and trust you.Lonesome Thanks this. -
Have you considered becoming a dispatcher?! Take it easy brother. Look into leaving a company and leasing on as an O/O somewhere or getting you're own authority. Life is far better when you are your own boss...believe me.

OP -
I'll make a deal with you ,
If you don't hit your brights & blind the h@ll out of me while
I'm in the right hand /slow lane , I won't call your office & complain. -
That's FedEx ground for you! To be a TM all you need is a degree in basket weaving and your a manager. They usually have no driving experience at all. They act like they know all and will never listen to a driver cause they consider you lower then them. They never listen to a driver trust me your just a lower worker with no management skills. I worked for them and 3 of my buddies did too and they got the same feeling luckily I work for a very cool contractor I never wanted to deal with the TM.

I know everyone I've read on this post is so sympathetic of the plight of the OP. Everyone has their moments of 'I'm so through with this". But come-on... All these call in's and "I just had too's".
Maybe the OP is just driving around feeling like everyone else should get out of the way because he's got something to do.
People in cars ( and trucks) are gonna do what they do. Always been that way. It's up to the driver to do their best to make adjustments and act like they know what they are doing. -
I drive those same roads through WV regularly in a tanker and go significantly slower than the FedEx guys especially around curves. They blow by me all the time. I see them tailgating cars all the time. Not saying you drive that way but 4 wheelers just see the company name on the side of the truck.
I have never gotten a call in that I know about in 4 years. These 4 wheelers don't have company numbers on speed dial. You have to do something to make someone go to the trouble of making the call
