    I was just thinking about it and if I would have gotten fired I would definitely be talking to lawyers because I hadn't done anything to be fired. But I didn't do anything wrong to be ticked off this dedicated account either so. Yeah that would have been really messed up if I would have got fired LOL like, a lot dirtier then I ever would have expected

    Oh don't get me wrong, I always take my presets very undesirable places LOL I gave these two ladies a heads up before I ever even got that pre-assignment letting them know that I need to be back to where I moved to to take care of some important things. I never asked special favors like that and I don't ask for home time either. In the eight months I've been driving, I've been home three times. I also needed a shower and I would have had to go two more days without a shower and I wouldn't have had access put toilet for many hours while the Target store was closed if I needed to take a crap. I can make do just fine quit peeing in the truck, but not having access to a toilet for many hours at a time just doesn't seem right. And the areas were these stores were, all the other stores around them if there even were any are closed overnight hours also. And please don't say that it's okay if you don't have a toilet for taking a dump that's a civil right.

    God my spellchecker is crappy...basically what i was trying to say was that i didn't even have access to a shower (Schneider uses pilot and flying j- good luck finding one in new England or upstate ny!) So no shower for 2 more days (I'm a female, we can get infections if we don't maintain proper hygiene- sorry...i didn't make the rules and bed baths in the truck and wet wipes dont cut it). And i wouldn't have had access to toilets for approximately 8 hours. And obviously i can't drive to one because I'm on my 34 hr rest, so i can go find one. I'm sorry but i don't think that taking a dump in the grass somewhere at target when they're closed is acceptable. This is a basic human American right. A toilet. Or at least access to one. I did EVERYTHING for that office and i went EVERYWHERE AND ANYWHERE they sent me with ZERO complaints.

    There are times in trucking when you may need to shower on a 30 min break and pay cash for it if it’s not a stop in your fuel network.

    I set my re-set for a Tuesday because that monday was Columbus day so i couldn't do anything. I'm a girl, but i get dirtier and drive harder than most men i talk to (unless they've been driving forever...). I should've said my name was John on here. Right off the bat i wasn't taken serious. This is messed up. Listen, it's not about getting "thick-skin" or about being a girl (like some of you may already have condemned me because I'm a female). This is about the sh** that these companies in this industry get away with. Denying a driver a toilet for 2 nights in a row? Does everybody really think that this is ok?? Lol am I in China? Lol

    Don’t you have the personal conveyance option in your ELD?
    Drop the trailer at Target and bobtail to a place you wouldn’t mind spending your 34.
    I know some companies block PC or won’t allow you to bobtail, if that is the case with Schneider you’ll be better off without them.
    Watch your DAC they’ll probably put something like refused dispatch or similar crap.

    I was doing it all the time. I had under 7 hrs on my 70. I had to get the late load (not my fault it was late) to the store and then stay there for my 34. There was no time to stop for a shower and it wasn't over 8 consecutive hours, so it was perfect for my dispatcher ( i didn't HAVE to take a 30 min break). See what i mean? I didn't have to give notice about my 34 AT ALL but i did. And it should've been common sense to the dispatcher that i had less than 7 hrs left on my 70. Maybe she should've looked at my NAT before she gave me that pre-assignment! Why give us the ability to supposedly be able to adjust our NAT's ourselves if our times aren't honored?!

    I didn’t read all the posts and was under the impression they fired you. If they just moved you to a different account I wouldn’t worry about it.
