    If that is the case, they have proven they don't give a #### and i would move on to another company.

    Sir that might be closer then even I know. Got pulled off a half decent load for a #### load. Since they want me to come to a terminal after. Might aswell go to the headhonco since I was invited and try to figure it out one last time.

    Word is that they want to do it contractor style. They're not employees, they're gig workers. No need for benefits or taxes.

    Ever listen to the words to “Big Bad John”? Apparently ol John got stabbed in the back because he didn’t say much to the people he worked with.
