    U gotta b kidding its time for a lesson in trucking keep the doors and your mouth shut never refuse a load and keep the wheels turnin the biggest problem with your job is probably u so try a different outlook and b professional expecting things to work out the way u think they should. Is unrealistic.Try being TomOr Brad for a day u couldnt hang having to listen to all that whining from supposedly grown men too much being #####ed at makes a man a little cross and u ####### never let up just shut up do the best job u can for the organization u said u would Work for or go somewhere else and then u will learn that trucking is not for the feint hearted. These prolems are endemic throughout the industry and u think your so special that u should b treated special.Well u r u have a job so deal with it and quit being such whimps. And yes i worked for gardner for 4 years i never refused a load and i never #####ed about anything after i learned from Brad the reality of it.Drivers drive.complainers complain and so on so b a driver and things will improve

    Better yet, just quit working for van/reefer companies hauling junk freight. Be a man? You go sit on a ####ing dock for $0.00. Good grief can't figure out what's worse, one irregular route junk freight or the drivers that defend it.

    Most drivers in cali know about gardner. They dont pay. They spend the money on making the trucks look good. Who cares about the drivers. They have no problem finding drivers who don't know better.

    I once had an owner (totally different company, not related to Gardner at all) tell me "I don't want you to make a single decision about anything while on the road. From where to fuel to where to turn, You follow our directions" I gave serious consideration to calling him and going "hey...uh....I need to take a crap and there is no directions for that....can you fax me a copy?"

    Hmmm. Speed restrictions? 55 has been the speed limit for ever. How is that a restriction? Its hard for you to find freight out so whats your hurry? Life is too good for you here. You cant hang.
