Loggin on "Line 3" for TMC

it's not the old guys who is the cause of these e logs; it's WERNER. they started this years ago & DOT liked it, so they went with it. then the insurance companies saw it & liked it. God only knows what the FMCSA thinks of it. trucking is NOT what it used to be

 

so i cant outlaw no more your telling me, shucks just when i was getting used too running outlaw

 

Good news guys! I am cleared to come back to work. It only took 15 days 22 hours 10 minutes 10 seconds. Now I still have to wait until some time tomorrow to see if I get a different truck or a ride back to mine. Fingers crossed it's back to mine since I still have stuff in it.

 

what happen, don't count your chickens getting your stuff back, when i came back too get my truck , from a work injury ,not this company, but anthor, they said it was in Georgia with anthor driver, i waited anthor 2 weeks for my truck , when i did get into it ,all my food was gone, it was thrashed, tv broke , , driver got mad and quit and took his anger out on my stuff. leason learn 'ed, take stuff out when you leave any truck.

 

The only stuff I had left in it was shower stuff. Nothing to important that if lost or stolen or damaged I couldn't replace it. Just hope it's still there. It was towed to a "reputable" and secured lot. We shall see. Hell even the tanks could be empty, who knows!

 

are there any good trucking companies left. the more I read the more I get confused about the industry. I am in school right now and am wondering if I made a mistake. I wanted to drive a truck forever. I am 48 and work in a dying industry. work 7 to 3:30 M-F make 42000 a year. Not sure if the job would last Til I retire. so thats when I started the process of learning to Drive. I just hope its not as bad as some on the stories on this site
