    2 10hr breaks with not a single interruption. ThinkPad was ready early at 1230 so I got it 2 hrs early drove 320 miles and getting unloaded now then picking up one that's already ready and gonna head to the consignee. Idk if I just haven't been here long enough or what but it seems to be unlike what people said, and as I recall @Davebox said he only got 3 breaks without an interruption so one more break and I'll break his record. We shall see.

    Like I said in another post,I wish you the best but you just started there,it'll take longer then a couple loads to determine if you found your comfort zone.Who knows Dave probably felt like you do when he first stated KB.

    During my most recent "Holy union" I did 7500 my first two weeks.
    Avg 3500 my first month
    Boy did I swoon!
    My last 3 weeks I've avgd 1700
    Once more my heart has been broken.
    And if I ask "don't you love me anymore?"
    My beloved calls me ungrateful.
    I shoulda listened to Mama.

    I've been home once for 4 days
    No break downs
    No refusals
    No lod,s
    A weekly harem of new brides should've tipped me off.

    Excellent wordsmanship. Perhaps you should use your spare time to compose the next Great American Novel.

    Just be sure to release an audio version so I can listen while I'm working.

    Isn't it interesting how, after a person has already started a new job, and is past the point of being talked out of it, those who claim it was bad, or despise the company keep trying to convince him how bad the company really is, and ridicule his experience as being blind and stupid?

    It is almost like they are trying to defend their beliefs, and especially their reasons for leaving, which often are based on the company being horrible, so when someone says it isn't horrible, that maybe calls into question the real reasons for leaving?

    I read through the first few months of the Year on the road with Crete thread, and the interplay between Evertrucker and Supersnackbar was epic, especially seeing how Supersnackbar would be ripping on how horrible the company was, no miles, bad dispatchers, and he was gonna quit at the end of the week, while Evertrucker was getting 3k miles that week. Then Supersnackbar would have a good week, and stop yelling at management, or going slow to throw a tantrum, and things would get better.
    I think I saw that Supersnackbar is still at Crete 9 years later?

    It is real easy to find problems with any company, the question is, how many are willing to work to overcome the problems, just like you would to get through a storm, and how many just badmouth and see if the grass is greener elsewhere?

    Granted, some problems just aren't worth putting up with for some people.
    There are things I would quit over that most people would be fine with. (I am a mechanic, so a company that ignores repair issues and tries to get me to drive unsafe vehicles does bother me lol)

    Anyway, I am sure if you have your faith in God, He will take care of you, even if it means some trials to strengthen your character!

    I look forward to seeing how your story goes, and I will remind everyone that this will be HIS story, unique, and not just like any of your stories.
