    No, it comes from the United States Army, my parents and church actually. I did paraphrase though. And the "world" my friend is people. Treat them right and they will treat you right, usually. If they don't, move on, but keep your own values in tack.

    I will refrain from posting further now. I said what I wanted and I don't wish to argue. Time for me to move on if you get my point. I wish you all well.

    He's got a point. It's core values. Basic.

    Do what I do. Pop one or two melatonin. Knocks you out within ten minutes.

    Nothing says it can't get him more money. The safety and such is never guaranteed. If you're a veteran, you definitely know that. Those values are straight out of the army. It may not keep him safe, but god #### I bet he is proud or his family is proud of how he does it. It's the little things in life that make it worth it. Lying, scamming, cheating, all that #### will catch up eventually. Not a lot of honest men left in this country anymore.

    Most importantly don't drive if you are battling to keep awake ever (no need to explain).
    Try some of the sleeping aids mentioned here.
    If you don't want to or they don't work then send a verifiable message to the safety department explaining the situation.
    Suggest and/or ask them for alternatives like going solo.
    After you have done this you have to understand that you have made them as well as your self culpable if you have an accident while driving team.
    They will either have to find something for you that works or let you go.
    At least you wont be knowingly be endangering lives and you will have given your employer a chance to assist you in honoring your contract with them.

    If you wanna try working it out with the company, don't bother explaining things to your dispatchers, there job is to make you run, they don't have authority and they don't care. Call up safety and human resources. Don't wait on i be, try both.

    WTF does the Army,or integrity,or a mans word have to do with trucking?
    None of that applies to todays trucking,or its drivers.
    Stay on track..Its a screw,or get screwed,dog eat dog industry.
    Theres no loyalty,or idea that these companies,or the drivers have each
    others best interest in mind.
    If you get one,you can bet you wont get the other to make a perfect marriage.

    This guy made a bad decision with a typical trucking mill that plagues advertising
    and is always looking for the next sucker.
    The good companies aren't plastered all over craigslist,and maintain low turnover.

    Be on the look out for the next" crst training" post gone wrong it will be along shortly..
