    Ive been leased to this carrier a year now and overall been happy although the last few months due to low rates my checks have been real skimpy lately and they are getting increasingly greedy which has been pissing me off .
    So today I went in to get my check and mentioned to the shop the work I want done on the new truck I just bought before I put it on the road in Jan ...first thing the guy told me was we'll to have that money for the bill in paid in full before we release the truck .
    I told him thanks for the loyalty for my staying out 2 months ata time and not being a crybaby , then I went in the office and politely let them know I've not been happy with our arrangement lately and the owner and dispatcher acted like they couldn't have cared less and out the door I went .
    Came home and went carrier shopping and got 2 appointments tomorrow ...still steaming .

    Sorry to hear that BZ better to find a company that respects your efforts. Unfortunately it seems those companies are getting more difficult to find.

    I thought you were calling it quits?
    I say start your own authority. Best thing I ever did.

    Given that they didn't have the miles to give you, they were probably hoping someone would quit and make their life easier. Doesn't sound like the future is very bright, there.

    Just go to Landstar or Mercer.
    Unless you want dispatched.
    I don't want dispatched when I get another truck.
    I cannot stand someone else deciding for me what a good week is. Cause I've found most peoples idea of a " good " week is my idea of an average week.

    No one loves you, like you, except Jesus.

    That's amazing how the office cries about cry babies, when what they need to do is look in the mirror.

    It's all good Dave ! Just meant to point out how two faced and unappreciative some companies are , they don't know it yet but I'm already gone and got other irons in the fire ...and won't name anyone until the dust settles and got what I got coming .
     
    Dave_in_AZ, Rusty Trawler and x1Heavy Thank this.
