    oh there were a couple more things than that.....that one was just the last straw. I watched them go from really good company to bottom feeder in about 18 months. part of it was that the chairman become buddy buddy with the guy that ran heartless express and things went downhill from there lol

    it was a home weekly company so home for the weekend was the policy until they started hanging me out for longer and longer periods while the yes men got in Friday and left monday......but they also went from an open door policy to not wanting anyone around who didn't go along to get along and I'm not one of those people.

    it was a culmination of a several month effort to drive me out after i refused to stop calling them out on bs and wouldn't be a good little soldier and sit back and let them go from treating us well to treating us like a bunch of morons.....like being given trailers with expired tags/registrations and demanding they be pulled 1100 miles anyway and during the blitz week at that ( i didn't ).........refusing to fix a starter because 'we just put one on 100k ago there's nothing wrong with it' and leaving me sitting broken down in the fuel island in eaton, oh for 15hrs before TA finally told them to fix or they were going to have it towed......then moving me out of that truck while I was home and I never did get half my stuff back out of it...... and it eventually worked at strike 3, the crud truck....they knew how I kept my equipment and that I'm a neat freak and that just wouldn't be acceptable......but I'm such a hardheaded ### I don't go easily.....or quietly lol

    I had the last laugh though with a big move up and a 20k raise hehehe

    If that happens again...I say throw all of that **** on his bunk. Maybe then he'll think about making someone else move his pee-bottle mobile.

    you sound like me, a driver also laughed at me for all my cleaning products and disinfecting wipes but I cant stand a dirty truck and I am embarrassed if someone gets into it and its dirty. I am on a dedicated fleet which does slip seating but since I use a sleeper and sleep in it 5 days a week I have my own truck, I was asked in the past if they could use my truck and I told them sure as long as the drivers respect it and my stuff, there are 2 drivers who ask to use it when im off because I keep it clean. You will not find a single item on my dash either except a couple wires running for my cb and satellite radio.

    I have also volunteered to take a couple of our trucks in the past to the shop and when i got into them I felt dirty, if im not normally a germaphobe I sure as heck am in some of the other drivers trucks.

    you should see some of the trucks we have to clean out. I can't believe the lack of respect some people show for trucks.

    I don't understand how drivers pee in a bottle while driving. you get some on the seats on your pants than the whole truck smells like restroom.
