It wasn't like that when I first started. As someone stated here; it was an amazing company to work for about a year and a half ago.
When Knight transportation bought them... It started to slowly change, and just built upon it. When the owners retired (about 2 months ago) that's when I felt the change, like a bag of bricks.
I don't want to come off as someone who is known for jumping jobs at the first sign of trouble, and I'll try to make it work, but from how I was treated yesterday made it absolutely clear this was now mega carrier and that I have no business being here.
---- religion talk coming, abort while you can! ------
You've been warned,
I believe in God. Not like most (not a bible belt kinda person). I believe when we pray for strength; God doesn't give us strength but rather the opportunity to be strong. When I ask for courage, He gives me the opportunity to be courageous.
When I ask for a chance to better my life, He gives me the opportunity. That is how I choose to see this. As truckers we have sacrificed way to much: Health, relationships, and time. I believe, for me, this is God perhaps giving me the opportunity to change my life for the better.
I still have both of my GI Bills (Montgomery and post 9/11) and have enough in savings to get me by for a few months with a part time job to supplement my income I believe I'll try for my B.S. And become something I've wanted to befom sense the 6th grade: a teacher.
I thank God for this opportunity and I hope I don't waste it. Amen.
A dramatic turn for the worse

They're policy seems to be they hire experienced driver only.
One new CDL grad posted they hired him to drive box trucks and might put him in big trucks after he gains experience on the road. Seems fair.
Probably worth the drive to check them out face to face. Website looks ok. -
Knight has nothing to do with how things are run at Barr Nunn. I feel Young Guns frustration. Everyone here is frustrated with a certain customer that we are trying to service. I hate it. This customer treats drivers with zero respect. They show zero respect for our time.
I think Young Gun put his foot down one too many times. This time they said take it or leave it I think. Florida is tough to get back to OTR. ESPECIALLY, with this new freight we are working out and loosing another that was actually good freight after looking back at it.
I've made the most money I've ever made these last three weeks. That being said I'd rather make $300 less per week than have to deal with this customer unless things get addressed.
Sorry Young Gun,
Hope things turn out well. -

I wish there was more OO out here to give the big money companies some competition -
