I get paid to fuel the truck. If I show up for work and my trailer isn't ready I get paid to wait. Funny thing is my employer now cares a lot more about wasting my time or having me do silly stuff. It's weird - almost like they just want me to focus on driving the truck! No one went broke, blind or deaf because of this. Come on in - the water's fine!Last edited: Jun 22, 2019

Some places like Electronic Logs, hourly pay, and running day cabs so the drivers stop and check into a motel. Showers, a real bed, television, gets them out of the truck.

Wait until that ELog, Inconveniences you- Or keeps you from the most important thing in life...Family.
Wait till your behind an hour or 2 and have to reschedule your delivery and lose a days pay.
wait till that E-Log puts you in a truckstop 1 hour from home.
Wait until that E-log prevents you from unloading early- And when you get there...You have 13 trucks in front of you cause got there at 9am instead of 630am...
Don't say it wont happen to you.longbedGTs and BoostedTeg Thank this. -
