Out Of MI???

wow, no I delivered the load, I was there long before it would have been late, I was at the gate, and the guard told me he wont let me drop the load. said to go to the truck stop about 2miles down the road and get a hold of swift so they can fax me the bill's. they never faxed them and when they finally did, 2 days later... the fax's were so crappy I couldn't read them. so they had me drop the trailer way out in bfe, at some truck shop drop yard.

the load I didn't deliver, I told them to pick it up, I didn't make my self clear, they wanted me to drive another 200 miles away from home as I told them i was done with them at that point. they told me ill have to pay for my own way home once i dropped the truck off, or get a ride from someone. so I stopped at a truck stop, and sent them a msg to have someone pick up the truck, and load and finish it. so I guess you can say what i did was abandon it, although I didn't make that decision until after they sent me a fax on there policies for detention pay.

as far as i am concerned I could care less if swift lost accounts over it. I don't expect anyone to work for free, and I simply wont work for free. I wont drive a truck again. I much more prefer to sleep in my own bed at night. And I do have alot more respect for those who can do it. And if you want more honest drivers, get more honest driving company's first. my time on the road I was told by several people how to keep 2 log books, was told its the only way to make any kind of decent money on the road, and this happened at almost every truck stop I went to, several customers drop lots, and even by people i know. so don't blame me for not having honest truckers out there, when its the company's that pay them that make them go along the dark route.
