Got kicked out of my truck so my team partner could drive w\friend

Personally sicne you dont own the truck you are at the whim of the company. Until you own can you truly say squat over what happens with the truck.

Just my 2 pennies

 

You might be right but I don't think a company would want to lose a team driver over nothing because I'm sure there's others company that would love to take someone in looking to team and get him more money then he getting now

 

He cant control what truck he stays in or what loads he gets as company driver.

 

Maybe not at maga company but some smaller one do listen to what the drivers say and that's how they keep driver.
Now if your a boss it's your right to run your business however you think is best but start to mess with a man's money and there will be problems keeping good employee

 

Wow, what pictures. Glad you both walked away from it.

 

Well let me tell you op, when they said that, they showed you no respect.

It isn't your problem, it is theirs and they would not have lost a driver if the guy was good. But I would tell you to find another company asap and tell them this is the reason you left, lack of respect.

 

That’s all I need to see to understand why I won’t team..

 

That is something that has been lost completely in trucking, and in a lot of other professions.
The respect or consideration for the employees point of view, the give and take or trade offs between
the "boss"; whatever position he holds (supervisor-dispatcher-trainer) seems to be gone completely.

I drove for a small company for a few years. The son did the dispatching and was agreeable to deal with.
But his dad; was very different. I vividly recall him coming into the bunkhouse quietly; bending down some, and as I awoke, in a low voice saying: Roger, could I get you to get ready and run up to Waukesha and
pick up a load we have for Miami? (We were in Starkville, MS)

Also, there was a time when small fleet owners said: Watch it,don't say good morning to them the wrong
way or they will be gone....We were not job hoppers, but the level was: "Go and come, take care of the
equipment and treat the customer fairly." If a problem with a customer; you presented your side, went
on doing the job and he took care of it...
