    This is garbage that Crete is ordering on their trucks… Guys the company I’m with now just got it 15 brand new 2023‘s and has none of that crap on it

    Like when in the navigation it yells at you? You can turn that off in settings. Forget the actual step by step. Otherwise idk

    I've set a deadline, by the time my physical needs to be renewed next October I want to figure out if I'm going to stay in trucking at all. If I do, probably try and find something dedicated. The randomness of otr is getting to me

    It is for me! Six hours, 135 miles searching for an empty. Our app indicates some available, but in reality all are loaded. Box planner sends a specific trailer. “NO, IT IS LOADED!!” It’s been a year or more of this BS at Schneider, and I’m preparing to walk out forsaking my lease deposit. I no longer GAS.

    I’m seeing machine shops paying $20/hr.
    Imagine 4 hours,1/2 Lunch,4 more hours and home.

    I get that you like the hours but that’s only $40,000 a year. I don’t know many machinists who would work for that.
