Service failure number one

I didn't say anything about running illegally?..neither did he?
His original post said he drove 2hrs to p/u and load cancelled

He said he was low on fuel and low on hours and he refused..

Evidently his employer felt he could make the trip and gave him a service failure..

 

There's a lot we don't know. But two hrs lost is nothing when you're out three weeks at a time

 

Lol $400 two weeks in a row OTR? Only time I had that happen is when I was home for half of the week. Make 800+ a week or find a new company. Or it's your trip logging/ planning that's not letting you make $

 

Op's location in profile= western Ma. That candle factory=western Ma. That load would most likely get you home for an evening with the family? Nothing worse than planning on getting home for a few to see the family and then getting the rug pulled out from under you. I am just assuming but know what it's like for that to happen

 

If your profile info is correct you've been driving for a year. Which means quite frankly you don't know crap. What you SHOULD know after working for any particular company for a year is you don't get to make every situation go your way. Customers cancel loads, trucks break down, drivers quit or get fired (keep that one in mind) your company has to deal with it the best way they can and will use whatever resources happen to be available. Which may mean you as their employee and their truck. Maybe if you tried explaining why you couldn't LEGALLY do what they wanted you to you wouldn't be getting a service failure. I've been OTR for close to 8 years now which does NOT make me an expert but one thing I learned very early on is to pick my battles. After reading through your various replies on this topic it sounds like you (a) are full of yourself and/or (b) you overvalue how much your employer actually needs you. In either case I get the feeling you're about to learn a hard lesson.

 

Good Luck Driver.

 

Collect what?..just wondering?
