<p>[QUOTE="LilRobWayne, post: 4684993, member: 98418"]I certainly have to agree that my experiences with this group of Outbound and BackHaul folks hasn't been the greatest. In fact, I would have to say it's some of the worst I've dealt with here. Sadly, it doesn't have to be that way. They've certainly fired me up a few times lately. I've also noticed the extra sit times on a lot of Backhauls. Hasn't been that bad for me but I'm hearing and seeing a lot of it with other drivers. Drivers need to start turning in more Layover request for pay. They do have that here if BackHaul doesn't keep you moving. Especially if it's a sit over the weekend deal. Most drivers just don't know about it or how to request it. A lot of the loads are still pretty much the same and I do believe a lot of drivers don't learn enough about what loads fits their needs the best. Timing is much more important on many of the loads than just where they're going and so on. I still firmly believe that drivers can make very well over here. Anyone making less than 70k has to have multiple issues going on or just don't want to run enough. I'm of the belief you are a smart and experienced driver. You shouldn't have any trouble turning things around. I deal with a lot of the same things and have had to dig deeper to make things happen for me. I know some things can be more difficult for one driver than another but you should be doing much better. Your hands aren't tied behind your back. Suck it up and attack it another way maybe. I have faith in you with all the things I've read in the last few years. Good luck with whatever you do and just don't give up brother. I feel a lot of your pain and hope it turns around for you. Take care out there. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
