Question about Dm's

Well I guess I've got a slightly different take amongst the usual cosy comments about being a team player and acting in a professional manner, whatever that means. Sounds more politically correct than anything else. But I'm afraid I've been exposed to to many useless and incompetent DMs to tolerate any nonsense.
When I Have a DM that tells me he's got X number of loads to move and everyone of them is overweight to my reckoning, then where is the team player now. What's sooooo professional about that?
There isn't so my input to the original writer of the question is to tread softly and at times carry a big stick. Because somewhere along the way, you're going to need it. Being a team player is all fine and dandy but not at the risk of throwing you, the driver, under the bus. I've seen too many DMs push the envelope a bit too far in my estimation, so you have to take care of yourself. You are the one that has to do the hard part, get it delivered on time and safely.
Im an O/O now and I've had a few choice words with my DM. He fully understands where I'm at and hooray, we get along just fine. But in my experience YOU take control and gain the respect of everyone around you.
Good luck.

That's a different story when you work for a bad company that ignores the regulations. Then you go find another job because that job was broke from day one.
