    Except when Prime told you to slow down and improve your fuel milage... but you werent having any of that... What was it again? Something about no way in hell anyone was going to tell you how fast you should drive? Even though they paid you extra for every .01 above the set minimum MPG.... They cut your speed down to 58, and you quit.

    Something about how FFE was awesome cause you could drive 62 and no one cared about MPG....

    Refresh my memory, can you tell me again the one where you told your Prime trainer how nobody, not even he was going to tell you what you were and werent going to do... (Dont lie, I may be fuzzy on the details, but I remember the gist)

    That driving resume must be attractive... are you up to 4 companies in less than 2 years yet?

    ####... OK, you brought that up. I haven't said a thing about that issue for some time now. Guess your just like Bigkid and Walcrawler and have nothing better to do than stir up ####. As for what happened at Prime, I guess you missed the part where I stated that I did in fact do what they asked and slowed down and did so for two week's and in doing so the fuel milage got worse so I wasn't gaining anything in my favor other than having to work harder for the same #### mileage/pay I was already getting and never saw a single penny of that so called " BS bonus".

    As for my trainer, I told him to kiss my ### because I was not going to chain up his truck to see if I knew how in 110 degree heat in the middle of the desert after I had just gotten a shower and pulled my shift.

    You need to get the fact's straight before you start trying to piss in someone's bowl of cheerios again. Why are you even in this thread? Last I knew of this thread was listed as FFE not Prime. If I get an infraction for posting this then I'll take it with a grain of salt and take it in stride all because your back here bashing me. So if anyone really need's the infraction or ### chewing from a mod, then it should be you for coming in here trying to stir up ####.

    Good day.

    I guess you dont do everything you are told... your words not mine...

    As to what Im doing here... I check in here from time to time to see how "Awesome" FFE is. Its a free board, I can go where want... just like you come over to the Prime area from time to time and post... I mean, you posted how much Prime sucked and how great everything was at FFE in the Prime area...

    Its like a mini soap opera watching you jump from job to job with excuse after excuse... must be a stellar resume you got there.

    Well, I'm back for a long grooling trip out. I'm wore out. I guess those of you who are being told to turn in your truck for complaining didn't do so without making sure your on the right ground's and have the upper hand. I've been steady calling them out on their #### up's and even as of late been cursing on the QC with the people threating to quit but they tend to be kiss ### and do something to keep me such as throwing me a bone.

    However there are more company policies going into effect which I got popped for missing a fuel stop but didn't know anything about that they were going to start writting people up for it. I'm not concerned though. I finally landed me a local gig hauling salt water in the gas/oil patch. I applied for the job, landed the interview and it's all gravy. So I went and applied and did my haz-printing. Waiting on the paper work to get back oking me to go down and take the test's then to hell with this OTR ####.

    Good luck skunk!

    What happened to JCT? And that pipe dream you were having about being an "owner/operator?" I'd say it'll be about six months before you're saying the same thing about the oil patch guys...

    I think you've said it all at the very bottom of every message you post, "If at first you don't succeed, blame someone else!"

    Well, the JCT gig is still open if and when ever. I'm working on trying to get out of OTR all together. Yea, I guess you could say the O/O thing was a pipe dream but after alot of studying on the subject I didn't see it being worth it in the long run. I was trying to get home to get to the DMV and test out but didn't get here in time so I'll have to run on to Ft. Worth and try and get back through when I can. I've actually been on a couple of well sites and from I've gathered plus some people we know the work ain't all that bad just lot's of hour's which I don't mind. Atleast I can sleep in my own bed every night. Pay range is anywhere from $60k to $100k a year depending on how hard you want to work. Just picking and choosing my battles much more wisely learning from my mistakes. That's why I'm still employed with these crook's getting that time in. Just doing what's gotta be done to better myself.

    I went to pine bluff in september and they had no over the road trainers so they had to bring in temp trainers (truck drivers Buddy knows) on the weekend to do over the road training. It got so bad that they sent home students that had little or no experaince on the road or in the city driving. The school is suppose to call use back, but we all know that won't happen. I have gotten a federal grant and will be attending a technical school with CDL training (190hr) to get my CDL and after that who knows?
