    I work for JB Hunt and Myer distribution in Pleasant Prairie Wisconsin before I even took this job I made it clear with the company and everybody I am no longer an overnight Driver because of trucking companies I am having heart attacks because of the stress and force you to do things that you cannot do like last night I only had an hour and a half sleep yesterday because refers decided to start tearing the roof off the apartment at 6 a.m. when I got to work I told them I only had an hour and a half sleep I did not know how long I would make it coming back from Chicago I was getting really tired and it was hard to stay awake so I told the dispatcher Bryan that I was done for the night and he started throwing company policy and of my face that I have to drive the 11 hours that's not the company's problem that I didn't sleep no company cares if I Driver falls asleep because nothing happens to the company's only to the Driver the deal t made sure of that when they gave companies the right to move these trucks up to 2 miles without putting the driver on duty like what happens in Pleasant Prairie with a lot of trucking companies drivers are made to unload during their 10 hour break dota knows this goes on but yet they will not do nothing about it I am one person that cares about myself and others around me there are enough trucks running around out there where the Driver have no sleep I told him to send the load to my truck but I would make it clear that the truck would be stopped because I would call the state police myself and give them my truck number to stop that truck for 34 hours I do not wanna hurt nobody but yet JB Hunt and their dispatchers could care less I was told my hours would be from 2 to midnight but again the company lies to their drivers to get them in the door and force them to do things they cannot do

    So why are you still driving and working for them? You're right next to Milwaukee in the best location in the state to get a driving job and probably local as well so spend your time looking for a different one. If you knew there was a chance you'd be stuck with overnights why did you take the job?

    After that long sentence I became tired and sleepy.. Op go take a nap, turn off your phone. If you get written up so be it, guess what you will be alive and "free" to find another job. Gl
