Company constantly asking for favors, but won't get me home.

You can't burn plastics. I have a burn pile but we can only burn yard debris.

 

Oh yea, to add to my OP, one time I took a load home that needed to deliver like two days later. They said they would find someone to come get it. Well lo and behold, they call me the next day, on home time, and tell me that they can't find someone to deliver the load, that I would have to do it. So I had to drive two hours back from visiting my parents, go get the #### truck, drive to Baton Rouge at 7 in the morning to get this load off my back, that took 2 hrs and 50 minutes (no money for detention until 3 hrs) and drive back home. I wasn't back home until past noon. I was so pissed I told them do NOT call me again on home time or their next call will include the location of the truck with the key on the seat.

I'm tired of being treated like this.

One time a while back I got word that a driver was sick at a rest stop and I needed to switch loads with him. They told me 3 times that they informed the driver to be disconnected from the trailer when I arrived because I was in such a hurry as his stopping for his sickness made his load late. I arrive and he's not disconnected or anything. I got there and I was about to chew him out about why he didn't disconnect like they told him to and I walk up to his truck and he's like passed out on the steering wheel. I disconnect his load for him, just tell him to pull forward after waking him up, and I grab his load and go. That dude looked like death. I didn't say anything about it. So its not like all I do is complain. I really don't.

 

I could never have them decide when they get me home because I am also single and I have bills that must be paid. I live in a rural parish, and I still get bills in the mail. You can set up bill pay with the bank to send them a check, but you have to have the physical bill in your hand to do that and I can't do that out on the road. So I can't do more than about 3-3.5 weeks out without being home. And if I'm out THAT long, I require 5 days at the house as nobody is home to clean up my yard or anything and it is usually a nightmare when I get home. My property is the size of a football field and has 15 huge oak trees and a few pine trees and hundreds of smaller trees and it takes me 2 full days to clean my yard after I get home. That's before I even BEGIN to do things I need to do like appointments, etc.

We won't even TALK about the nightmare I get home to if it rains the day before or day of my hometime.

If I told my company get me home when they wanted, I'd never see home again. Every time they get me home there are hundreds of deadhead miles involved and them #####ing and #####ing about it before finally sending me home.

 

After you get home to find a pack of wolves has knocked over your trash can and spread 5 large trash bags of garbage all over your property, you start to make it priority.
