Is it Just Me???

90 percent of trucking jobs suck.
Some get lucky and get with the other 10 percent.
Most spend there whole career In the 90 percent
That suck.
That's why truck drivers are always pissed off.
Life sucks for most of them.

 

Some of them will always be chasing that golden carrot.

 

I'm sorry sir you feel that way... BTW, Mr. @Western flyer ... Do you work for Western Flyer? I know a dispatcher that used to work there... He moved to another company that treats their drivers with respect and consideration. It has been taking a while for him to adjust to his new company but he is getting better...
I am fortunate... the first company I worked for, even though was a so called bottom feed mega with negative image in the industry, I was able to have good communication with everybody that mattered to me... my dsp, load planner, log people, payroll people, breakdown people, shop foreman, equipment supervisor... and even vice president... As a consequence, I would get great runs, be sent home whenever I needed, get good equipment, and was given a brand new truck that came straight from the dealer with 10 miles on it.
Left the company because my account was not renewed and I decided to try something different and make more money.
The company I am now, is great. They treat drivers with respect and a lot of appreciation.
Companies like those are out there... but I think that it also depends on the way the driver communicates with them. Every company has a system, a way of doing things and it's important to check everything in full detail before going into a company and then learning how to "play" with their system.
And if it doesn't work, move somewhere else...

 

BTW there's no perfect anything... one must check thoroughly a company before deciding which company to go... and then learn how to communicate and how to work with them...
