    Not only was I misled misguided and misinformed and the dispatch....anyway chain of events got me in a sticky situation one tow and a point on dac.evean tho there was no accident? Little personal accountability george?(edwardsville o.c.) so Im in trouble for following your guidance? Lets talk about the chain of events that led me to getting towed on my first trip, oh yeah i folowd your persistence instructions... Thanks Schneider...thanks oh and apparently its ok if your truck pulls through the 3 point break test... According to leadership. "Just drive it" so im out. Bad experience. And pay $580.00 for 5 days at 14 hrs whats that umm under 9$ an hour. $8.28 what exactly is minimum wage?

    Minimum wage doesn't apply to trucking.
    You learned a very valuable lesson. You are responsible for that truck. If you say it don't go, it don't go....simple as that.
    I'm sorry you had to learn the hard way.
    Best of luck. You should be fine

    Yes lesson leaned, thow i paied $6000.00 to learn these i feel basic things?. And your right is a life style im just not accosumed to telling my boss hes wrong... Leadership means exactly that. And i take accountability for pulling in there and also i was directed presistantly directed and after its said leadership doesnt take any accountability for any of it just pass the blame? Not ok with my morals. And my time is worth something more than 580.00 wkly for 70 hrs and never home. Dont think its for me tbh.

    You chose the wrong company; not your fault though, it happens. That pay is horrible.

    Good grief I think Western Express pays more than that in some areas!:eek:
    It looks like the Big Pumpkin is playing “Hide The Pumpkin” with some of its drivers!!
