    I've seen an equal amount of whiny crybaby stuff in other industries I've either worked in, or delivered freight to.

    Especially union jobs. They're always whining about something. Have you ever picked up freight at the shipping terminal in Gloucester, NJ? Them longshoremen don't do anything BUT complain.

    And that's why trucking has the highest turn over of any business

    Or parking on the ramp or street to walk to a pay phone. As much as it sucked it was way better than what it is now.

    maybe so, but the unions also know how to do something about it. A trucker whining is usually only shooting himself in the foot, at best pissing in the wind.

    There was a specific post about a dispatcher somewhere in the northeast whose names was, I believe, Corey. The poster was ranting and raving about this guy for never talking to the drivers without sounding like he was talking to a child or something along those lines. I've been trying to find it but not having any luck. If I do, I'll post it.

    That is what actually prompted this thread. FWIW.

    It was the above thread that prompted this one. As I said before, I dont' care what company or industry you work for/in, enough LEGITIMATE complaints about any employee to management will get noticed.

    And I know I'm right about drivers not complaining enough. The majority of people that ##### and moan and complain all the time about their jobs do so to other people. Most of them will never say a word to anyone that can actually do something about it. They'll just keep getting older and more bitter and coming to places like this.

    You're welcome. Although, I would suggesting waiting until she's at the office. She might not say no in quite the same way if you interrupt her dinner.
