and this is exactly what enables these trucking companies to get away with exploiting their drivers!
They treat us as bad as a migrant fruit picker, and when we finally stand up for ourselves adn quit, they will trash your DAC report so you will find it next to impossible to work anywhere else.
what's just as bad, some drivers will chastise and belittle anyone who dares to complain about the crappy "life" ( if u think trucking is much of a life!) and the trash we have to deal with cuz "it's part of thr job.".
Surely I am not the only driver that feels this way and is starting to hate all things involving trucking???

I dont recall a dispatch or planner ever considering a drivers needs...
Not to sound resentful..but they just set up a freight run from point A to B at a certain speed and thats it...Ive had 5 'JIT' loads in a row recently that if I had of stopped for even 5 mins they would have been late and amounted to a 'service failure'...
Trucking is a hard ride somedays...other days...there is plenty of free time -

Beechvtail and trucker43 Thank this.

Even the Military has two give you one hour off in a 24 hour period unless you are in combat. But not OTR drivers until you drive the truck you can work 24/7 if you have the hours. -
C'mon now, remember it's what you make of it. It's all about attitude. You just haven't found the right company.
