    I can be a ####### on my own time but I'm not a liar nor some hot head behind the wheel. What others get mad at I find silly im very very easy going. I didnt think I did anything bad but I guess they have different opinions after all the computer says so and so

    Check on indeed.com

    I just typed in "truck driver" and "Missouri" and some flatbed and assorted hits came back. Don't know where in MO you are, but it's a start.

    You'll be okay. The first firing kinda stings, but each one after that gets easier.

    Quit or get fired. All changes in trucking are lateral.

    Negative.

    Going from open deck and OS/OW to being a mere doorslammer at an LTL was an improvement, starting with $4 more an hour right off the bat.

    I thought our newfangled Bendix crap was something to get used to, and it is, but what this poor guy had to deal with is beyond ridiculous.

    Dollars ain’t the determinant. It’s still far better to have a job in the real world as to health, longevity and time with family.
