I drove for these ######## for two years. I would not drive for this company ever again. I kept putting up with there stupidity and I just finally got fed up with it. The saftey department is really screwed up. They would ding me for my logs and I would file a aggrievence and then they would have my driver manager audit them and he would not find any issues at all. All they had working in that department where a bunch of young college kids and women that have never even been in a truck. I have decided to quit driving for the reason that all these companys that I have worked for are cheating, stealing , ieing ######## that want to send a guy out on runs that have him gone for 7 days at a time and then when he gets his check it has all these ######## explanations of why your not getting paid for the job you have done. I advice any new guys that are thinking of getting into trucking don't. Just read all these post and they all tell a story and it is all true. You will get screwed by some fat ####### that sits behind the desk and goes home to his wife and kids every night while you are sleeping in the back of some truck at some truck stop by yourself not making #### for all the time you are putting in. Trucking industry sucks and is getting worse. I have worked for several companies through out my time and they all suck they are all the same. Where one rips you off the other will do the same in a different way.

Yep, I am not pointing the finger at any particular company just the industry as a whole.
Freedom driving OTR? who are they trying to kid. You are at the companies beck and call 24/7 unless you want a Astrix next to your name because they know you hang your qualcomm out the window. USX even installed dash lights for the qualcomm because of drivers doing that.
See the country? Sure do, or what you can see from the hwy or a dock at least.
Steady miles? not a problem until you refuse that hot load that will run you over your hours, shut down due to bad weather, want to go home to often, do anything that takes the dispatcher away from their Internet solitaire game and requires them to work.
They promise to release you from the grind of 9-5 jobs stuck in a building with long commutes. Again true. Instead of 9-5 it's 9-11 grind or the 11-9 grind . Instead of being stuck in a building your bouncing around in a noisy box. instead of having a face to face with the office slacker your burning minutes off your cell phone talking to some collage punk who could care less. Instead of commuting to work your hoping you can make it to that funky toilet stall 100yds away before you piss your pants.
Get your time in driving and then get your butt home and live life. Because OTR driving is not living for the vast majority, it's just existing.
The newbies want the truth? Most of them can't handle the truth
