    No,but I wish. I need to change that one day.
    I was trying to be incognito from another board when I initially joined here.
    I have a '93 LX 5.0 and an '03 GT.
    They are in one of my photo albums on here.

    Gunney , you are to be admired for hanging in for that long! a manager that has that attitude is not a manager, period. Its like a bad cop and authority has gotten to his brain. Well stated thanks

    I was to understand that due to federal law nobody can fire you while you're in the hospital.It's quite illegal and they can be sued big time for it,as of the time of this post I'm still reading through the rest of the thread so,if somebody already started I apologize ahead of time and will delete it if I see that.

    That company sucked. RUTHLESS. They are ruthless. and SOoo corporate. I had my hernia surgery-finally. They are fighting that.. "no I did not get it on the job". Where else would I get it? I am out on the road almost all the time? One of the worst jobs I ever had. My days as a teen at the McDonalds were better. I had to get a lawyer and fight them tooth and nail. GODLESS is what I think of them, despite whats his face's posturing. Gary whats it.

    Well folks since I last wrote to you I have been thru 3 fleet managers one I was not to happy with and one who passed away. I still have no had the bad experiences you have. Now maybe some of you are just upset that they didn't run "their" company the way you wanted, and maybe some of you just need to go buy your own truck and find out what its like to be the boss. There is no perfect world for company truckload drivers. I still get good miles 2500-2800 every week. I have had a few bad weeks where I only drove about 1700, however that was during the slow time for freight. As far as sitting all day then having to drive all nite, that happens at all companies. If you can trip plan you can always find a hour or so to nap. Remember we are servants to our bosses, not the other way around. I treat everyone with respect, I expect nothing, and my rewards are great. Hope ya'll figure it out. Be Blessed:biggrin_25520:
