Need Help - Stuck with very bad company

Bottom line is, YOU are the one responsible if anything happens...even if he told you to do it. If he told you to kill someone would you do it? Well in a way, he is. Think about that, then take his truck back and politely give him his keys.

 

You just have to realize that employers/dispatchers/etc will use and abuse drivers. They know it's not their rear end if you get caught coloring your logbook or get busted for being severely overweight at the coop. It's your career you're playing with and putting in jeopardy. "Boss/dispatcher told me to" never flys with DOT or state patrol.

The guy's a dirtbag who runs a shady small time outfit who preys on desperate guys like you who want to drive a shiny truck and trailer. You're better off working at a larger company where the trucks may be crappy but at least they can't strong arm you into driving illegally. Having a big carrier on your resume may look better or more legit as well to future "better job" employers.

 

You're probably better off to get out now. Chances are YOUR CSA score will eventually take a hit working for someone like this.
Also I second what 123456 said. I managed a company (auto) for many years. Not only is a secret recording inadmissible, it is illegal for you to do it by phone.

 

If you can't earn it anymore, what good will it do you or anyone else? Find a new job, then quit.

 

Wow... 250 miles per hour... hum paid by mile .... ya only wish ya had a truck like that and a company to pay for the fuel on the new USA autoban, maybe in year 2150. You could make a mint. Well I can dream the imposable dream.

 

Listen dude erase your recordings or whatever you have for your leverage because the way you present yourself here and the picture you present of him....when you pull out your evidence he's gonna beat you up....I promise you...bad...put you in the hospital....or scare you so bad you wet your pants...please just take it cause there is no hope for you or your situation....

****Exiting stage left mumbling on my way out*****

......letting somebody keep you away from your family for 4 months crying on your steering wheel like a 6 year old and wants sympathy from us

 

If you find a new job before you leave he wont have time to ding your DAC report. And if he does later you are already working and can challenge it and hopefully get it removed. But really...just leave before you have a nervous breakdown. And always remember nothing shuts up... and slows down a loud mouthed bully like a throat punch...

 

A DAC report is not the end all of trucking. It is also disputable, and the company needs proof to back up what they are saying.

Well that is your prerogative. There are tons of companies that will take you with the experience that you have, but you sound like you are not interested in doing what is necessary to change your situation.

Your dog hasn't forgotten you. Did somebody steal your truck too? Because this is starting to sound like a country song. The bottom line is that YOU are breaking the law, and you will get no sympathy from me. You are the captain of your ship and of your life. How's the wifey and puppy dog gonna feel when daddy is in jail for manslaughter because he ran over that family of 6 in his 12th hour of driving? Where do you think the owner of the company is going to be?? I bet he won't be backing you up

To be honest, the thought crossed my mind as well. It's hard to fathom that someone with a family would put up with what you are putting up with...and instead of actually taking steps to improve your situation, you are on an internet forum ######## about it. It's time to man up.

So now you are attacking the posters that came on here to try and help you better your situation. Common sense is not so common and it's sad. Again, there are dozens of companies that will take you. Stevens, Swift, Werner, Prime, England, Knight, Schneider, Central Refrigerated, etc.

You need to grow a pair and do what's right. Only you can change your situation. I do wish you the best of luck, though, in whatever you decide to do.
