My Experience as a Line Haul Driver

Whats it like driving for the worst trucking company in America?

 

My job isnt going so well either Grasshopper.

 

Less than 5% of my miles here have been SE. Average length of haul is too short. Dispatcher and I are not meshing. Seems like I am working way too hard for my money. Got a call from safety the other day griping about me doing 27 mph on a ramp in LA with an EMPTY TRAILER! His little sensor on this pitchy Volvo told him I am too fast. May not be here much longer.

 

Not really. I hate to leave this quickly but it gets old being aggravated every day. There is a slim chance of working out of a different terminal. I met a guy that lives near Houston but works out of Indy. That may be my only shot at sticking around. I do meet plenty of happy drivers here just not from my terminal.

 

I couldnt agree more. I came off the road for my soon to be ex wife. Worked at a nice outfit with a company I loved and could retire from. Now I am starting all over again. Im going after my dreams now. If some poon wants to join me, thats fine, but im not changing my goals and dreams.

 

Already?? I had a few rough weeks solo after Vic left but nothing so bad I need to quit or make a change ...so what ur suppose to be SE out of LakeLand? Sorry I haven't been keeping up on Knight lately....

 

CT is far worse than any other ltl out there. You all make Vitran look like the holy grail.
