Quitting one company for another.

I have always taken home time, thanked them for the opportunity , told the dispatcher how hard they worked to solve problems but the company was just not a good fit for me.

 

Three coils. Aluminum. So big you cannot lift them. But you sure can spill em. HA...

Go from Logan KY to Williamsburg VA over the Smokies at night in the rain all tarped and secured.

7 am, pull in. Busch dock. Coils off, one goes into munching machines stamping out about 168 cans and lids per second per machine trying to keep up with oh.. 50 million excessive beer drinkers. /tease.

7:40 back to Logan Empty, three more coils. Get moving yer late already, back 7 AM next day.

Round and round she goes. Money takes care of itself.

 

So you gonna go to another otr company and deal with the same crap after they promise you it will be different? Read the 1,000,000s of posts on here....otr is all the same at 99% of the companies. Just do your research and figure out what you need and can deal with before making a lateral move to be equally as miserable.

 

Or don't I guess. WTF do I know, I only love my job and am not miserable and never job hopped and have a kick ### retirement saved up in the 401k and a pension coming.....and I'm only 38. People are gonna do what they are gonna do but why end up hating life at 100 different companies.....

 

Dude you are a number on a board no matter where you are at. It don't matter where. I am a retired UPS feeder driver, one of the most sought after highest pay jobs out there and do you think I was known by anything other than my employee ID number? No..... As much as I hate to say it because I #### on other guys for saying it, maybe trucking isn't for you. I know otr is more of a lifestyle than a job and that's why I don't do it, there is no fault in that being as how every job is not for everyone. You will be nothing more than a number working in trucking, corporate America, retail, hell even working on cars you will be a number that needs to put up numbers so the shop can make it's numbers. That's just the world we live in.
