I've been driving for 6 months now after giving up my previous career of 4 years. I followed my dad's footsteps and started driving. I got railed with all the crap loads that nobody wanted to mud hole, cold, terrible locations. I did them and didn't complain, ran hard, delivered on time, and was courteous to the receivers. I went from pulling 30 year old dry bulk trailers with Dayton wheels Evey day to pulling 5 year old air ride hazmat tanker all around the east coast and making it home 2 nights a week plus weekends off. I like to think that because I did what I was told to do and did it right, they repaid me by giving me good paying loads and getting me home. A good attitude goes a long way, sometimes you just have to wait for the good to come to you, and yes, it can be very aggravating.

^^^ What he said. It is not your company's CDL that needs protecting. It is yours and getting log violations, especially being on elogs will not be looked on well by future employers. I would be looking around, talking to other drivers you meet out there about their companies, and be planning my exit.
tscottme, Lonestar87 and x1Heavy Thank this. -
If the reciever kicked me out on out of ELD hours, there is going to be Captian Hook and all that entails showing up by the time I get through with it.
Now if Reciever kicked out a few dozen trucks that cannot go anywhere without being towed away they have a problem. -

One broker, CH Robinson interfered with me directly after they were given the one number to my cell that I don't give out so they could call me and wife in the truck rolling south on 5. Every 45 minutes.
The third call the battery came out of the cell, qc'ed the FFE dispatch displaying onery displeasure at the constant BS interruption of CHR on the satellite and that was the end of that series.
CHR can #### well follow the dot down the coast, it will get there when it gets there. It's only a 63 mph truck and a team too.Lonestar87 Thanks this.
