Message:: [QUOTE="REO6205, post: 4256663, member: 137130"]Sometimes, when all we hear is one side of the story, we don't hear the whole story. Are there companies out there that take advantage of drivers?  Yes there are.  But a lot of times the driver's claim of being cheated, lied to, and generally messed around is simply a lack of communication between the driver and the company.  A lot of times the driver doesn't understand what's happening and, rather than take the time to find out the facts, they throw a temper tantrum and walk off mad. Are some of the claims of mistreatment here valid?  Very probably.  But the driver isn't always automatically right, either. I've been on both sides of the desk and I've seen and heard both sides of just about every personnel problem there is.  A lot of times a simple, courteous, open minded  conversation will solve the problems. Trucking is a rough racket...you guys all know that.  It's hard on everyone involved.  All I'm saying is listen to the complaints with an open mind and don't automatically assume one side or the other is right until you know all the facts.[/QUOTE]
