    Someday I hope to last with a company long enough to quit. It appears that will have to remain a dream as I am my own boss now.

    I couldn't take all the lies anymore. They kept sabotaging me, and were purposely trying to mess with my income. I decided that it was time to go. I start orientation for a different company tomorrow.

    My personal experience with Hirschbach never found them to be doing anything intentionally wrong. Payroll screwed things up from time to time. I got plenty of miles. The first week was messed up but every other time was fine. I never took hometime so I can't answer to that. I liked the people I met. I enjoyed everything about it. But, I got fired for turning up the speed on the truck. Right now, I am outside of Las Vegas. My truck runs 75 all day and gets 8.9 miles to the gallon. Freedom is worth much more then any of the Trucking companies I have worked for in the past.

    Good luck with your next company. Keep us posted.

    I wonder what orientation for myself will be like. I hope I don't bore me to death.

    Well, Good Luck Matt, I know for a fact the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Unless you own your own truck. Who did you decide to work for ? If it's ok to ask? I've been with the same company for going 5 years. It's up & down, buts it's ok. I'm going back to training for awhile. That should help me get caught up on taxes. But, I'm with Prime under my lease agreement. I got another 2.5 years to finish this one out & get caught up on taxes, which was my fault not doing quarterly. Then I'll see from there what to do next. I got so much money invested. That Prime is holding for my 10 years. I may just wait it out, unless they piss me off again, lol.

    I have decided that I'm going to Schneider. I'll be in greenbay tomorrow and really looking forward to it. The grass isn't always greener on the other side however, a lot of changes happened at HB that I don't like. Being lied to non stop is one of those things. At some point you have to draw the line. My line was crossed but I'm looking forward to having more control. HB has way too many restrictions and are a prime example of being a glorified company driver. Can't go faster than 64 and a very restrictive program. No thank you.

    Prime is good the only thing tho the payment 2 high and they truck only go 62 for you to be leasing just like HB. Prime. Seems better than HB and have more freight
