    So why didn't you just ask the company to reimburse you for a $6 roll of tape at the truckstop? I wasn't there so I don't know, but it just sounds like you handled it wrong.

    Lol this is exactly why we call some drivers steering wheel holders. Omg you can't put on a piece of tape or change a light. I recommend you do find another job. Preferably not in the trucking industry

    "Ratting them out" almost never works out. (BTDT) If anything, it could keep you from finding another job with a better company. Your cell phone is your friend. Take lots of pictures with it and send text messages rather than talk on the phone. These things have a way of working themselves out. In a few more years, the bad company will either clean up their act or be out of business.

    They have been cutting our hrs and putting the extra frt to the o/os, we were a all company driver outfit when started,but now they have more o/os than they have company drivers, maybe we are being forced out of a job, I don't know... This is a small contract carrier for Chrysler here in Detroit

    with 29 years of trucking I wouldn't think finding another job would be very difficult....

    Its YOUR license protect it at all times, screw them...

    Finding another job is not a problem, the problem is hiring on to a company worth a 💩to work for without racking up a bunch of job history, I've been doing a lot of research on different companies before I jump ship, im applying only at prime jobs now, I have a spotless record all the way around have never (knock on wood) had an accident ever!!
