    So I think as a newbie forced dispatch will be pretty much universal anywhere you go and I think you got to listening too much to too many unhappy drivers instead of finding out things for yourself and yes many companies will tick you for failing to abide by the rules such as being late or smoking at a customers location where no smoking is allowed because after all there are rules to follow and to be quite honest with you you don't sound like you are ready to follow rules you're just wanting to run as you want and that won't work for you or the company you go to work for so i wish you well in your search but frankly don't hold out a lot of hope for you sorry to be so blunt

    Come on REDD he has LOADS of experience ( shows in his 1 lonnnnnnnng sentence postings ) + Daddy owned 25 trucks, he was with TMC 41/2 months ( but supposedly they are a BUNCH OF CLOWNS ) .

    Do none of them EVER check things out before they go to orientation

    You're a company driver. I've never heard of an outfit that had only company drivers and said "no forced dispatch". Don't expect it to be any different with other companies.
