Team Driver in bad situation due to the company I work for

I can't believe that you're still working for this guy. With 3 yrs experience, you could have a job with any trucking company in the country by tomorrow. If you allow him to treat you like this, it's your own fault. Quit now.

 

Maybe look for a ride share on Craigslist.

 

I think you've answered your own question here...

 

Since you're already home, I'd say that you probably should stay there and start looking. How long will it take for you to recoup the cost of your trip back to work - 2-3 weeks of pay?

 

I think you should go to work for another company that can get you home to see your family and you still can team if that's what you want if a company doesn't care about your family there is no way they gonna care about you go somewhere else if you don't stock with them nd your company sounds cheap to me, good luck.

 

There is 2 separate issues here. 1- You knew they keep you out like this, you continue to accept it, and took it upon yourself to go home, the cost is on you.
2- This company you work for sucks, plain & simple, and if you continue to drive for this guy, again it is on you.

 

You should of asked them if they are commuting from Detroit, where you were stuck. Truck drivers get treated worse than dogs.

 

If you really enjoy teaming with your partner, then don't walk away, run from that company. You guys as an experienced team should have companies fighting to hire you, and actually make some real coin. Talk to your partner, see how he feels about changing companies. If he is on board with the idea, then start making some calls. My guess is you will find a much better company before lunch time. Good luck!
