    I think she's pretty much already committed. Oh well it's not the end of the world and she needs to get her experience somewhere. Pretty much anywhere you go your first year is going to suck anyway.

    Yeah true. Hope she does her time and moves on to a better company. I know I'd never team again it's not fun

    I team drive with my hot wife co-driver. That's the only way I would ever team.

    No midnight, just the opposite, these companies are a huge problem and so are the drivers thinking that this is the only route to get into this work by working for them.

    It is a fact, all I said is in the court of the driver but most don't bother to oppose things like HOS violations, they do as they are told and that's it. When they get caught, they are screwed but then they blame the company while the truth is that the driver is at fault.

    I hate it when drivers, even bad ones end up being screwed, and it seems more and more others talk about how bad the company is but it should be countered with the experienced drivers telling them what power they have as drivers so the less likely they will be treated like crap.

    The opposite seems to happen here and other places with experienced drivers with this idea it is an easy thing to get into, they will make big bucks and lately some have said (newbies and potentials) have said they want to see the sights. You can see where this leads to abuse, the revolving door that has been there for years that we have to help stop and lock but you want to

    The absolute truth is this >>> no one forced a driver to work for these companies to begin with and the regulations are actually on the driver's side.

    **** I not that old.

    True lol I haven't driven for them but I have busted my ### in school so far and after only one day in class I passed my permit test. I don't know if all this stuff people say is true or not. Seems to me some are legit complaints but most are probably people who are supposed to drive but would rather waste their time being lazy so they gripe and complain when they don't get paid good or when they don't get good loads. Some of these complaints are from people who think trucking is one thing and it's something completely different
