    Truckers always get the short end of the stick in this industry yet were the most important part of it no figure. From what I understand the flatbed side is terribly slow, if he don't mind referigerated i suggest he look at ffe or american eagle from what i hear there trucks are turnin the miles. Well good luck.

    Yes the Repulicans have problems also but voting for a libertarian candidate is
    wasting your vote.We need to stop the Democrats before they permanently
    damage the economy beyond repair.All those people that voted for Ross Perot
    back in 1992 put Bill Clinton in the White House.If the race goes three ways
    again we might be stuck with Obama till 2012.

    Okay you all are getting off point here The bottom line is this it does not matter who is in office when you put your faith in anyone but your self you will come out the loser every time.
    Now to the poster.... First and fore-most I wish you and your kids the best. I too was in your shoes really if the truth be told I was in worst shape because My husband and I both lost our jobs within 2 weeks of each other, we exhausted our savings, I lost my car when I could not pay back my car loan # 300% interest, and our house payment went from $800 to $1500 a month and after 3 mo it was pre-forclosure. My husband was a cdl B driver for 20yrs so the only thing to do was upgrade to cdl A. It was hard but when you have a family you do what you have to do. Your problem is one that can be solved easily. What you can do is put in online apps for your hubby and do your homework since you are here you are already solving your problem. And For the love of God support your husband tell him you love him everyday because he is doing this for YOU and the KIDS try to be happy even when you want to cry because you do not need your hubby to be under stress behind the wheel of a unstoppable machine that can and will make him or break him. Yes, it is hard being a trucker's wife but it is even harder on the driver believe me this site is full of stories both good and bad. I will say this the first year is always the hardest but after that everything will be alright. Feel free to PM me because sometime just knowing you not alone is all you really need.

    right now drivers are a dime a dozen,and the companies know that,the one i work for just stopped all holiday pay till further notice.office personal most time are made up of non driving experience people who go home everyday and have very little sympathy for drivers .this has ALWAYS been a dog eat dog business,ive been in it 24 years.some of those better than others.trucking companies are cutting corners as much as they can now and its going to get worse.i predict that if fuel go,s up again like last year, it,s gonna be bad.hang in there.

    Hello everyone its the pissed off wife again haha well I was going to wrap this up but now that he"s quit lets see how hunt really treats there drivers !Well for starters,they want the truck in omaha ,ne instead of allowing him to drop it # there crete yard by our house. ok well he takes it back does the make nice thing .(why I dont know)anyway thats when they tell him yeah we can get you a ticket home but it will come out of your check. well dave is REALLY FING LUCKY HE DID NOT SAY THAT TO ME !!!!!( he wouldn't like it when the fisty red headed tex-a-fornian when she's sico pissed off visions of baseball bats & jumping over desks to kick ### start poping up in my mind ).And of course now that he has quit dave is as sweet as pie. but is still a rude dismisive male shovinistic creep!!!! who likes to talk down to women & assumes all are stupid blond bimbo types, at least thats how he spoke to me , spouting on & on & on ######## about the big man world of trucking . he tryed to talk circles around me , I let him talk his line of #### & burry himself in it .. then told him I have been in the indistry for 8 ##### years as logictic & office management ect .( he can save his line of polly anna ######## for a lesser knowing female outside the indistry). So like I was saying now the creep is being all sugar sweet .Telling my man he can get him a ride 1/2 way home only , I will have to drive 6 ##### hours in the dark on an unknown highway ,travel out of state just to pick him up. WOW HUNT THANKS FOR SCREWING OVER GREAT EMPLOYEES ONE MORE TIME ON THERE WAY OUT THE DOOR.oh & to comment on what one of you said the other day about how hard Hunt transportation has been hit hard by economy .No offence to you but . if they are so bad off why do the stupid people keep hireing people??they dont have enough work to keep any of there drivers working regularly. They should stop thinning out the work .stop new hireing & give the guys you have left some work ,before there company goes under. so a new company on the horizon for my man thanks to me & his skills too haha ,I googled & read every law suit & driver report on a but load of companies. found a GREAT one local dist .center . Reginal driving He will be home 2-x"s EVERY WEEK & will get a nice per mile raise .I cant wait to see how this new company fairs..... we'll see. keep you posted !! To everyone else out there like us , hang on take a breath & try not to get down on your self or each other. .were still not out of the woods with everything else but atleast he'll be home if #### should hit the fan or when it gets too deep & I need to be pulled out.Ya -all be safe out there & may little trucking fairy's watch over you

    CASE SOME OF YOU MISSED IT WERE TALKING ABOUT, T R U C K I N G !! God I'm sorry I even listened to my man, to add that stupid political comment .This really has little to do with politics, in my opinion. It's more (for me anyway) ABOUT STUPID LITTLE PEOPLE WITH A LITTLE POWER GETTING DELUSIONS OF GRANDURE!!! ( ok so I cant spell wort a s---.)People in charge of & at companies like Hunt, Are the one's who lay down policies to treat there drivers like lesser citizens . And the dispatchers don't even get me started.Don't get me wrong, no I do not ride with my man nor do I like rideing in those things at all .ALLTHOUGH I HAVE. Most companies hire people who have no exprience in the truckinh industry at all probally never even been in one. Then the companies wonder why there drivers are so pissed off ..... talking to stupid might be a good place to start.It is amazeing to me that a companie like HUNT can have an entire office full of people that cant communicate, like desk to desk . as man man said over & over the other day HE DONT WORK # HUNT NO MORE DO DA DO DA HE DONT WORK # HUNT NOMORE OH THE DOO DA DAY!!!YEAH!
