I have about as much sympathy as they would for me.
Everybody is different some drivers might sit around and wait for them to get their equipment back on the road .
....i guess
.... Either way , this is NOT a good position for any driver to be in
We can't stress enough how important it is to do the company back ground checks before even giving the trucking company a phone call.
Why waste time & job history on garbage trucking outfits?

I find the OP's story a little challenging to accept at face value. All of their trucks (maybe 60, though SAFER indicates a hundred or so), are 2017 or newer rigs leased from Penske directly. 2019's will be replacing those (mine already) fleetwide by end-of-year.
They are a mix of Volvo's, Freightshakers, Pete's and a Kenworth or two.
Penske does all maintenance/repair and anytime I've needed anything, a replacement loaner was/is ALWAYS available ASAP; part of the arrangement between Greentree and Penske.
There is RUMOR that the OP is the young guy that got sideways nerve wise on a two stop run into Philly and claimed he needed to get truck to Penske. Once at Penske, they said it would be the next day before they could thoroughly check his complaint and offered him a 2018 Pete to use. He declined that offer, saying he had an emergency at home, and then never came back.
With almost two decades of experience, I've been here almost 6 months after A LOT of due diligence and vetting of companies, big and small.
No cameras, no incessant beeping of "Collision Mitigation System", etc... we are governed at 65mph.
We stay east of the Mississippi River usually. We have 1800w inverters and are clean idle certified without APUs. Company policy is if you are hot, idle for A/C, if you are cold, idle for heat - period.
My truck is auto now, which took a little time to get used to; the reverse sucks in autos, in my opinion.
Anyway, just wanted to chime in and add a little factual clarity.Jonrulerofearth and REO6205 Thank this. -
And now we know the rest of the story.
Lonesome Thanks this. -
That happens all the time. I get a load to New York and I refuse it because I have no sticker for NY. Now I am thinking I can get a different load. Instead they give me a different truck with a sticker already on it. Just can't win.

Truck driver pleads guilty, faces decades in prison for fatal I-83 crash that killed Middletown man, baby
Greentree put this guy behind the wheel with a suspended license and warrant for his arrest. He killed 3 people including a 2 year old girl. I wouldn’t work for any company that just throws warm bodies in the seat that ends up with a tragedy like this. -
