The old "company won't get me home_ story

You have a problem with a company keeping it's word? We all understand that "stuff" happens and can deal with it...this is not what it sounds like.

Must be a dispatcher or a broker.

 

You have revealed my hidden identity! Whatever shall I do!?

 

Nothing

 

Ok, I like your idea. I'm a bit rundown today anyhow. Cheers!

 

Are you kidding me? Your really going to sit there and type this garbage to a driver asking for advice? How long have you been a driver? I don't even know the originator of this thread and i'm insulted for him. And then to use the load has to be delivered line to justify the breach of an agreement between this driver and his "boss". I'm guessing that your that driver that lives in his truck cause you don't have a home to go to, or that driver that lives in his truck and when you do finally go home you live in mom and dad's basement with a tin foil hat on. Look up the statistics on the number one reason the trucking industry has such a high turnover rate, i'm sure that even you can see that promised home time and actual home time are two very different things. And why is it such a capital sin for this driver to want to go home? Apparently this driver is doing it right that they don't have to stay out for months at a time to handle their financial obligations. And even your own words " Or a situation will be set up to cause you to quit on your own eliminating the constant yapping about home.", you are in my opinion a disgrace to this industry and have no business responding to any question from any true trucker. It's comments like yours that give this industry a bad name with your it's my sandbox and if you don't play the way I want you to you can either leave or i'll get rid of you by some devious means mentality. I could go on all day about how stunned am I by your answer but I won't. Someday when you get your big boy pants on you'll hopefully realize the folly of your statement and become part of the solution rather then propagating the problem.

 

Youre good ppl but I disagree I'll get back to you in a bit.

 

You need to put your foot down once again.Seems the boss has a remembering issue.Of he keeps it up start looking for another job.You shouldn't have to keep reminding your boss over and over.You've been there long enough he should know when you want home time.Tell boss when you want home and when you'll head back out.

 

heh..same why I feel today.
