    Hopefully they get the hint
    Leave me alone & ill keep movin alot frt for you. Or
    Short my pay check and you no longer have a sporty driver but one that's going to tie you to every bed post in the room
    They already have the law looking at them hard so it's not hard to shake them up
    Thing is: im happy working them i even like them but
    And having to play trucker games with your dispatcher or your company never ends well for the driver unless im just fed up and looking for the back door anyway
    ......Ill fly under the radar

    Produce loads always pay good
    4,5 dollars a mile
    Lots of waiting time tho
    ....this particular load was going to turn $700 in less than 3 hrs
    I don't mind how much more they making but don't mess with my pay check. ....we get the crumbs of the cake we bake

    I work days too but they needed the load asap. So I left at 2:30 am yesterday and dropped the trailer at 5:30 this morning and I am sitting here 650 miles later. One day is not going to kill you. Some of you in this thread act like it is the end of the world.

    If you have never worked tired you have not worked all that much. And for those that are now going to over dramatize the whole it's not safe thing, it's time to spit out momma's teat.

    Word must've gone around my safety lady just called me and was acting funny on the phone
    I think she was trying to feel me out to see if i had an additude about this situation but I assured her there's no problems as for as im concerned
    Maybe this whole thing shocked them because im a very quite driver and i get alot done for them
    ....idk
    If i have to find another job, so be it,
    I have over 30 yrs of clean productive driving and not even blemish on my mvr , cdl, or job history
    I should be making more $ anyway, i just like these people i guess
     
    bzinger and NavigatorWife Thank this.

    I've driven a many miles tired brother but i try not to
    And yes one day without sleep wouldn't hurt me.
    Just didn't want to especially after they shorted me and worked half a day
    Guess it just put a sour taste in my mouth so i gave them face full of what they were dishing out
    Been playing this game longer than they have in business so they got a taste of what a vetran can dc
    ......they are use to screwing drivers over, i see it all the time i keep my mouth shut and never get involed in these events
    I just drew a bourder with them and hopefully this will be the end it
    Otherwise I will no longer have a use for them anymore because it would be obvious they have more use for me also
    Hope not but Im not going to loose any sleep over it
     
    bzinger and tinytim Thank this.

    They're not forcing you to break any laws. They can't control what you do on your 10 off, for all they care you could be watching porn for 9 hours and 45 minutes then showering and doing your pretrip. If I were in their position I'd simply say that if you can't do the job I'd have to replace you. That's not a threat, I just want you to get all your sleep.

    Well the only thing i did was tell them the truth. ...
    And that is :
    I was not going to get any sleep because that's the way it is , the kicker here is: i let them know this and so now they are involed in this ball game if anything bad happens and so this tid bit of information tied them directly to the dangerous situation at hand
    ..... And. If you were my boss and gave me that ultimatum my answer to you would be "alright then ill be there sir just letting you know the situation that we both face". Im game if you're game
    If i die or kill someone. Either my wife will own your trucking company or we both end up in prison. ....right?
