    Respect goes a long way. You don't have first hand experience either. @x1Heavy some people enjoy your threads.

    No job is worth having that doesn't care enough about you and your family to know what an emergency is.

    If they say "NO". Say, "Bye".

    We appreciate you all as well.

    There are times I go off the reservation and get bad but the mods ride herd on it well enough.

    Trying to be useful more than once a month is a undertaking. It also keeps me distracted from whats coming in the ongoing medical situation at home. Ive got a hell of alot of monitors coming and there is talk of a failed blood panel in some of the organs from yesterday morning. We'll see how it goes.
     
    PacoTaco, Lepton1, Moosetek13 and 2 others Thank this.

    I think driving for them for the better part of 8 years and I believe he still has a truck leased on there qualifies as first hand experience.

    are you gonna sit in the waiting room until december 17?
    maybe communicating with your employer will allow you to get a "mentor"after new years day.
    along time ago my father flipped a quad off the back of his pick up and was in intensive care for 6 weeks at age 70
    i left a voice mail at my medium size company and drove 500 miles to the farm.
    jobs are plentiful here and i would not have cared if i was dismissed
    i was there along time and if i was not occupied driving my elderly mother 50 miles to see him in the hospital and running the farm tractors i would have been showing up looking for a better job
    they kept calling asking me to return to work
    he survived and is 90 years old and i have 22 years with the same company

    Back in 2011 I had to leave my mentor's truck in order to appear in court. I told Swift about it well in advance yet the driver development people in Phoenix DID NOTHING. My mentor dropped me @ the Greer terminal and I flew home. As soon as court was finished I contacted my mentor. He told me that he was enroute to Laredo so I decided to take a bus to Laredo. When I realized that I was 50 miles ahead of my mentor I got off the bus at a stop before Laredo and waiting for him to pick me up.

    The ONLY reason that it worked was my mentor and the way he dealt with Swift. He told me that Gary (his home terminal) tried to put another student on the truck as soon as they found out that I had flown home. He flat refused, instead waiting til I could rejoin him.
