Good or bad

ROFL! Danny, that is SO on the money! Fact is, different companies fill different needs. Some are really good on home time, and if that is the most important thing to a driver, he/she needs to find which companies those are. If MONEY is the most important thing, we need to find out who will run you hard and long, etc. and pay the best. These things are very challenging, and I am grateful for this board. One thing you certainly learn in this business is that there are whiners in every company... and some of them are whiners in every company they have been in. You get some guy who has a problem with EVERY company he has worked with... 25 of them in 5 years. Who has the problem? You get others who are happy wherever they are and are just grateful to have a job. Sadly, these are usually NOT from America... but we do still have a few Americans who are thankful!
Thanks for putting it in perspective!

 

In the terminals is even bad, I was in our terminal the other day and there were drivers whining about getting enough miles to get their annual raise(121,000). Not that hard to do, but they made it sound all but impossible. It's not that hard to average 2500 a week, some seasons it is, but others you can get way more. I grew up around farmers and thought they were champion whiners, but truckers can give them a run for their money.
