You'll find that company that will take you after 90 days under your belt is going to be the same ####, with a different name on the door.
Freight is slow right now for the mega's, and they are ####ting their pants. Until you get a year in, you're dogmeat.
And 3 hours is nothing.
The best thing you could for yourself is learn to deal with situations of waiting, cause waiting happens in this business.HoneyBadger67, dunchues, stylez80Nine and 2 others Thank this. -

While this thread is still open I will toss in my
Yes, it is possible to get on a load planners crap list. In doing so you don't get premium loads and can get leapfrogged by other drivers. You can not get loaded sometimes because of your empty location and a load that has your name on it is not ready. It is very well possible you are not loaded because freight is dead where you are. I was in trucking for a long time during my career. I have been laid over in some of the dadgummest places imaginable. It's part of trucking AND ALL CARRIERS go through it from time to time. I remember once I sit in Ohio for almost a week because of a strike that shut down a customers product line. It is also mind-numbing to be on that end of it because you are not in the company offices. You also have 3 months. You change jobs right now and you might find yourself with a trainer. I suggest chilling out right now. This job is stressful enough as it is. No need to add to it by going off when there might well be nothing going on. You are right, if you are bored come on into the politics section, the password was last I looked thickskin. Pass the time. Back a few years ago on another forum I managed I had some of the best fun of my life watching the old timers troll you greenhorns. Honestly though, calm down!stylez80Nine, buddyd157 and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -

when i started it was mostly long haul and i enjoyed it, didnt feel like i was "paying my dues", these short haul companies paying by the mile with no detention pay are just a plain rip off, my starting pay was low but i enjoyed the job for the most part, i dont see how anyone would enjoy starting out these days at these companies, they have just turned it all into being a local driver with a sleeper getting paid by the mile while waiting to load short haul runs with no detention,if its money your after that certainly isnt the way to start, i wouldnt of lasted if thats how i started, not because i cant handle it but because it simply wouldnt be worth the aggravation. dont add up the miles you get paid vs the miles you run or you will really lose it.
