    Yo!!!! Relax man.....these are veterans in the game trying to teach you something. All of those things that have happened are unfortunate and my heart goes out to you, but you need to scale back and listen. When I began, the veterans told me that trucking is all about what you put into it. It's tough because everyone has to make money and move freight. In this industry, whiners and complainers won't last long at all. You have to see things for what they are, not how you want them to be. You have worked at some pretty good reputable companies. Now which one are you going to put your best effort in and make it work?

    I'm not blaming the companies for my inexperience or mistakes. I'm trying not to do the same thing over again and expect something different. I posted on here to get advice not to be judged

    Nobodyis judging you. They only stated their opinion. they've been in the game long enough to know who is cut out for trucking and who isn't. They have reason to believe that this isn't a good fit for you. My advice to you would be to look at your experience, see what you can do well, figure out what you desire most. For me, I only care about freight. I like to stay busy and run hard. I like traveling all 48. I don't have to be home but once or twice a month. Steady money. It's hard to gauge which company can actually deliver, but once I get on somewhere, I tell my dispatcher that I like to run hard. I have no restrictions on where they can send me. All I ask is once I get burned out, send me home to recharge. I'm probably the most low maintenance driver any company will ever have. The next company you get with, stay one year at minimum. Then see what your options are from there.

    Another old saying, squeaky wheel gets the grease. Get in their face, call them every 10 minutes, you'll get a load.
