    Based on my conversations with HQ, they are already well aware.

    I've only had to deal with her once. HQ gets to deal with her every day.

    Then why are they not dealing with it? I suppose that’s the 64k question. Some folks just amaze me. Somebody PM me this chicks name! I wanna see if I know who it is.

    Still bouncing around in a daycab. Kinda miss the long runs on the open road then I remember the broker loads and truck stops and sitting around waiting.

    I’m curious as well... who the heck expects the other Driver to disconnect your trailer for you??? I mean I might help out cranking down the landing gear or whatever when swapping but that’s volunteer... no one ever told me, or expected me, to do it for them... lol

    I want to avoid this one!!!

    <Insert Internet award here>!
    Yes, they do. I think it’s so mysterious that even they don’t know what they’re doing! LOL
    Like the issue of still booking freight out of RVA when you know there are no drivers to tote it.

    Which probably goes a long way to explaining why they haven't gotten rid of Miss Primadonna.

    Soooo... long story short....

    Guess which company sent 10 drivers to Mobile, AL on Saturday with no plan what to do with them after they dropped???

    Normally I would not mind shutting down on a Sunday... but would be nice to know I have a day off BEFORE it’s half over...

    And I’m facing 5 days off the Truck starting Wednesday... so I hope to get full drive days on Monday and Tuesday or else this whole week is going to bite!!!

    I got an offer from Abilene today. I have almost 9 months experience. I'm not certain about the CPM rates. they seem pretty low. since they were bought out by a Knight transportation are they still a good company to go with?
