Agreed, but some of the stories I’ve heard over the years about what these DM’s go through as babysitters is unreal. My last one had to keep calling one of his drivers everyday because the driver needed a minimum of 14 hours of a 10 hour break. Another driver on his first load from the Richmond yard to the Colton yard left on Friday afternoon, Monday morning he’s in Alabama on I-10. When they researched his travels on Monday, they saw he drove straight down 95 to Jacksonville Florida, then got on 10 heading towards Southern California. He didn’t even have sense enough to take 295 around the west side of Jacksonville. Another driver who lived in Oklahoma, delivered in Ardmore, got empty, left the truck at the dock, got a ride out with another driver, then had his wife pick him up at the Flying J and went home to Muskogee, leaving the truck and trailer at the dock. Quite frankly, I think these stories are hysterical. And I’ve always said, who in their right mind would want a job inside an operations department of a trucking company? Just walking around our yard the other day and listening to the conversations of other drivers, the constant door opening with the chain smokers, it’s enough to make one find another career.

I've been at Abilene for 4.5 years. I've had three DMs. I've had a great relationship with all three, and they all told me I was a really good driver.
And any time I feel like letting that go to my head, I remember stories like these and realize that the bar for "really good" is set pretty low.
