    At my meeting with Brent a few weeks ago regarding miles I was told start doing Chicago so I did and still nowhere near 2300 a week .
    The pay and recruitment issue got swept under the carpet with no reply from Brent .
    I've givin up asking and will just quietly go do my job but ill never help recruit another driver here again and I won't be doing anymore favors when they are in a bind .
    I can afford the lack of miles for now but when that changes ill be gone.
    I'm actually starting to think they want me to leave .

    Ps... I plan to stick around to see what happens with this Costco deal but if I'm not running at least 2300 a week after that ill be leaving .
    This whole mileage thing goes right to inbound dispatch who sits on theyre hands and doesent pre plan a dam thing ..im never late ! And inbound dispatch typically wastes a full day a week of my time dickin around.

    Nothing like having fb, as the new "big brother" in town. Had bzinger show up as a possible friend today over there. Only contact I've ever had with Brad is on here.

    Finally (hopefully), figured out how to turn off other discussed threads. Yes, I know, was told how to do it earlier but, the option I was told about is not on my smart phone. lol

    Got pulled over for a roadside lvl 3 inspection today. First thing the trooper said, was that I had done nothing wrong, but that he had to do one. (Quotas?)

    Was the easiest one I've ever been thru. Looked to see that I had 8 logs, didn't go thru them, looked to see that I had a starting point and pretrip on today's log, (thank goodness he didn't care that I was about an hr ahead of it), took license and registration to his car, came back about 10 minutes later with a clean inspection.

    Talk about being lucky!!!!

    Update : last couple weeks have been pretty good and dispatch has been doing a good job .
    Still ticked about the previous issue and how it was swept under the rug but life will go on .

    Does GO put some of their trailers on the rail lines? I was sitting at a crossing yesterday as one of them long trains was taking its time just creeping along I thought I saw a GO trailer. I was tired and not really paying attention and maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me.
