    Let this thread be a warning .. to everyone.

    We have a meltdown going on within other segments of the US. And these people are flocking to the trucking industry in droves. Even though they look upon us as scum. They want our jobs.

    You can be replaced, with 4 drivers. Willing to do your job for 10-20 cents per mile less than you make now.

    Cross every T, dot every I .

    Oh man, that is wrong. Not sure on any good advice.... any truck stops by you? Could go and see if a fellow driver will give you a lift?

    What a sh*tbag of a company. Screw them, remember when one door closes, another usually better one opens. Best of luck to you.

    they fired me at the terminal 900 mi from home. when there is one 80 mi from my house.they told me to stop in after i del in kc. they were nice enough to let me sleep in my truck till the next day. the problem is that an otr driver has alot of things that i had no way to get home.i used my last 70$ to ship some of my things from the ups store.the rest i just left there.

    well, probably not. But I don't see him arguing that point? do you? His topic is that he was terminated 900 miles from home when there is a terminal just 80 miles from his house.

    However, its all moot now! since he's home! yay!
