They feel threatened

392.3 doesn't mean ####, when you have had adequate time to get rest. You are supposed to be a responsible adult, which means taking care of your off time so you can functionally operate at work. Most companies have clauses that you cannot turn down loads without repercussions.

Further, the idea of the OP that somehow office personnel would be a part of the blame should he choose to operate is beyond funny.

 

Mine used to in my early days.... now I'm blessed running ONLY vampire~! I'm adjusted....duly so.
Welcome to YOU, son~!! LoL~!!! I did my due diligence of that sheeite.

 

What did the little girl say in "True Grit"?

I'm looking for man with grit?

 

Funny how this all works. I used to work for a smaller company pulling a skateboard that ran paper logs no Qualcomm yadda yadda.... I would sometimes get asked to run oddball loads that "nobody else was available for" when it worked out monetary wise I was willing to get creative, sadly those days were over. Found out that no longer was I getting a higher rate. Asked them about it and response was sometimes we have to take one for the customer. That is when I calmly said no, wrong that's on you guys. I will no longer be creative, you have 130 other drivers that could have been available. I'm not going to put myself through this and get same rate as some rookie. I figured 8.5 years with company clean MVR, no preventables, no issues, and good performance reviews account for a little extra. They disagreed. I was told times are tough not much better available out there. Well we parted ways shortly after. Luckily I fell back azzwards into another job that amazingly appreciates a good clean record, and doesn't ask me to do anything creative. Just be safe and professional.
Funny how some companies find a driver that is willing to work, will push him and then abuse the driver. But when asked about it tell the driver tough, sorry you're only being paid the same as Joe blow who has rolled his truck, destroyed the Conestoga and dumped coils in Wabash river. And they wonder why driver turnover is high can't find good quality ones, and the ones they do have mysteriously disappear

 

I don't understand your concern. You told them as it was. Do they not know that a man wants to sleep at 3 am? Maybe they will let you sleep at 3am next time.

 

Sooo did my first day at this tub haul. Boss rode a few rounds then tells me I need to go faster. Got a couple of speeders in the string. That didn't go well for him. Maybe this job isn't for me. I drive my road. Finished the day and the boss ask if I will be back Monday. Like they say. You drive your truck & I'll drive mine.
