    Sorry to hear that. Have you tried changing FM's?? That made all the difference when I was going thru the same problem.

    Wish you the best of luck.

    I spoke with the FM manager and he made it better for a week or two but between 400 mile loads with a hard date 3 days away and crappy equipment, the circumstance remains - 4 to 8 days a month sitting without pay and miles suffering from it. I want to drive, I like to drive, but I cannot do it for a loss. I spoke with one manager who told me they understood and could not blame me for leaving. Another abandoned truck awaits me in SC. That ain't happening. The insult is great enough without that ride. But I am not abandoning any equipment. It is tore apart at the dealer with another week of repair time due it.

    Thanks and be safe.

    I keep a pair of boxing gloves in the truck for the daily fights with the company and dont sit a single day out of the month as a result. I'm going to dig out some of my email fights between me and the company to post in here for everyone's amusement. I even have some old recorded phone calls of dispatch demanding that I clean out the truck.

    Ok, I can use a good laugh so ask your friends who they think I am and post the name in here. I cant wait to see how they react to the recorded phone calls as well.

    I didn't ask to see your name,i told him where you picked up last and where your final was,all he said was that you were a good driver.He is the man all the planners with the company report too.Took him less than 5 minutes to look you up.I will get your name when I meet you or you man up and call me,till then I don't need it
