    First off don't push my buttons about this owner operator thing, i'm probably one of the very few hundred percent owner operators that are on here and by that I mean someone who does all their plates IFTA billing taxes works on their equipment the whole 9 yards and I own my equipment titles in hand😜[​IMG]

    Next I have earned the right to be arrogant i'm just simply not going to take crap off nobody that drives home in their BMW to their family every night while I'm out away from my family. There are literally so many brokers that I could go a full year and haul a different load for a different broker every day of the week,I have booked loads before at places that I will not go to but didn't know until I received the confirmation I simply just called the broker and told them that they would have to get someone else to cover that load that I was not allowed on that property most the time they don't even ask a question they just say okay and they move on. If it pays big money I will put up with some BS but I'm not putting up with that for nothing.

    There are a million shippers out there, it would take a life time to black list them all.
    and for the larger ones just record it on your dash cam, they won't put up with employees like that.
    target fired an employee for telling me I had the wrong apt time and then I return when they told me they said I was late.
    but they was fired for the attitude they gave me, and Because I posted it on you-tube.

    Dash Cams and You-tube gives the little guy power

    Whoop-dee-flipping-doo. He owns a truck. LMAO. Every arrogant A-hole out there "thinks" he's earned the right to be that way. Don't make it so. Just makes them an A-hole.

    Just wondering why it is that anybody should have to put up with an employee of a shipper/consignee that is in need of a serious attitude adjustment? You show up, on time, ready to complete the task that is asked of you. The shipper/consignee gets an un-needed attitude towards you for what? Does not matter who you are, everybody has a tipping point, EVERYBODY! You have not lost your bearing with a person like this before?
