    So, E-logs, no APU or automatic, work for 30cpm, out forever and a day, take the truck home, not team. Thats all CRE except the pay.

    no, what I said was standard with pretty much every company, except pay, most seem to offer around 30cpm

    they didn't tell me why I was fired from Central, they weren't happy with me before I was terminated but they didn't say "you were fired because..." howver, they did lie to the state of Utah to avoid paying unemployment

    I got hurt at schneider so they sent me home and forgot about me for 3 months and fired me during that time

    I have no clue what happened with Oakley, I guess I wasn't what they were looking for, they didn't give me a chance to prove my worth and they terminated me for not making the cut despite not giving me a chance to try

    Cold hard truth. It's a you problem. Something you are doing is causing issues. did you have accidents? Did you have late deliveries? Freight claims? Bad attitude? Argue with dispatch or customers? Whine and complain? You did something. Drivers don't just get fired from three companies in such a short time for the heck of it. Standards are so low in this industry that showing up on time and not be a jerk is enough to keep your job. The good news is you can change it, ya just gotta be honest with yourself and recognize where you went wrong.

    "did you have accidents?" 2, but I still was with them for a month and a half after that
    "Did you have late deliveries?" we've all delievered late loads
    "Freight claims?" I think 1 time a case was damaged and the other time they were missing something (it obviously wasnnt me seals were intact)
    "Bad attitude? Argue with dispatch or customers?" believe it or not I didn't. if I was unable to do the load correctly then I would communicate with them and see if I was missing something or to see if they were incorrect
    "Whine and complain?" my truck always had some dumb issue with it.

    at Central my truck had electrical issues and the qualcomm liked to not work, sadly that caused issues

    "You did something. Drivers don't just get fired from three companies in such a short time for the heck of it. Standards are so low in this industry that showing up on time and not be a jerk is enough to keep your job. The good news is you can change it, ya just gotta be honest with yourself and recognize where you went wrong."

    I don't know what I did wrong if people would have told me I could have learned

    if I was truly picky i'd be fighting to use paper logs, demanding an APU and turning down anyone offering less than 35cpm. instead my standards are so low that anyone will take me

    as of yesterday I had 3 job offers, 4 if schenider offers me my job back
