Yellowrose-
I think the Guns, Guts and Glory just did not want to have a negative ad placed in their little trucker book. They are a Christian company also. The publisher is extremely nice and he told me that if I ever needed a reference, he would be glad to give me one. He didn't even know me from Adam, but when I explained to him what Tradewinds was doing, he told me that I was doing the right thing. I will have to tell you the story sometime. I don't think the Tradewinds can legally hold your husband's check. I think that the labor board can and will do something about that. You will just have to contact them to see. I do hope your husband finds a job if he hasn't already. I bet David Josephson is the one who wanted your husband to pick up a faulty trailer. DOT would be interested in knowing that Tradewinds trailers are still not being inspected. This is another way to get back at them. Well gotta run. Have homework to do. I am going to college Business Management.

My parents are working on the whole process. I will keep you updated. This company does need to be shown a thing or two. You can't just run over your drivers like that and treat them like horse crap.
My husand is having a hard time finding a decent truck company that doesn't lie to him and that actually pays somewhat decently. On top of that we've had some problems with his license due to some child support from a previous marriage that we haven't been able to pay due to the fact that he hasn't gotten a paycheck.
He is probably going to just re-enlist.. the sign on bonus is too tempting to pass up for us right now with our truck broken down and us needing a vehicle and living in my parents garage and the whole thing with the child support now he can't even get a truck driving job.. I'm hoping with it being the national gaurd that because the unit he would be with is already deployed that he won't be deployable for at least a year
I don't want him to miss our daughter's first birthday.
How long have you been in school for business management? What are you planning on doing with it? Maybe you'll eventually start up a trucking company down the road that is a good decent company and you can hire my husband

Dispatcher-
She changes her number more times than a person with ADD changes their mind (that is no offense to anyone as my brother has ADHD- so the doctor's say) but it's true. We can never contact her and she is just a B**** to put it lightly. I don't hardly ever cuss or get mad but when it comes to her I do. She is more concerned about living comfortably when she has a new vehicle and what not.. I won't get into it, haha, it just turns me from the sweet, mild mannered person I am in into a lioness on the prowl protecting her family.
Yeah I don't know what to think of him re-enlisting.. but even half of the re-enlistment bonus that they are offering right now would help us out ALOT. It took your email off of here so you can PM it to me if you'd like and then we can email back and forth. I will have to see what the military does. As long as he doesn't get deployed I can put up with quite a bit.. we need the money too bad not to. Our truck just quit on us the other day on top of everything and it has been acting up really bad. We're trying to sell it to get money for a more family oriented vehicle and we have really nice guy that is going to sell us an 87 bronco II that is in really good shape for 500 but with how the truck is acting up we won't be able to sell it for the money that we need for the Bronco. I never really did like that truck haha, but I put up with it because at least it was a dependable truck.. up until recently. I finally made it to my WIC appt today and was able to get checks for milk and things like that..
Anywho, I hope schooling is going well for you
feel free to pm me your email and I'll send you a note

Yellowrose-

Dispatcher-
If you send me a private message with your email then I can email you. They edit out your email because email addresses are not allowed in posts.

A B is still pretty good
you're doing more than I ever think I could. Even the thought of going back to work is pretty scary. I don't really want to work.. my daughter is 4 months old.. I don't want to miss out on things by going back to work that a stranger like a day care person would be the one to see. We got someone to buy the truck... they're supposed to be coming this weekend to get it so hopefully that will all work out. Then we're going to take some of it to get a used SUV that someone is willing to sell us for a really good price that is more of a family vehicle.
I forgot the whole thing about the posts. You have like 17 haha.. so it'll be awhile before you can send a PM. I have awhile to go as well.
Our next step is to hopefully get into our own place. I really want a place to call my own that I can decorate and do all that "homely" stuff to. -
