sent my company a drunk "nasty" email and they still want me to come back , should

Lots of solar powered trucks out there, unless you're running team you'll only have to run at night when your "trainer" wants the primo "day shift" (effectively running team). Once you get your own truck, keep your 14 in the daylight, leave the dark to the O/Os that value a lighter traffic pattern.

 

In all my years, I cannot say that is possible, (driving all in day light hours). Unless one is a city driver, or day time line haul driver.

So please tell us how this can be done? Drive 11 hours, take 10 off, at some point, makes you driving in the dark.

DO YOU realistically think there are no night time deliveries, early evening deliveries?

 

Serious poster is...Serious.

 

One little tidbit that my parents told me is to "Never make a life-changing decision in an emotional state".

I know that doesn't help you now, but hopefully it will in the future.



As for the current situation: I'd say if you do decide to go back, tread lightly and basically take whatever they give you and shine with it. You've gotta show them that you can handle it now.

Even if they don't care, you should care. It will set you up for future success in your mindset.


Like I said, it's unfortunate you bailed early the way ya did, but it's up to you to grow a set and do things better from now on.


Good luck in your future.

 

Jumbo, should we substitute "driver" for "wife?" I think it'd work.

 

Don't return to that company; forget about them, too many others out there to choose from.

 

Which of the following statements seems least like the others?

1. I send whiney emails.
2. I'm a professional truck driver.
3. We shouldn't keep score and everyone should get a trophy for participating.
4. My feelings get hurt when people on the internet don't agree with me.

 

He needs a company with a QUIET ROOM for Time Outs when he gets pouty or his feelings are hurt

 

My vote is for #2.... funny you should pick that number cause drivers get #### on every day.

 

Wait? Don't we all get those extras? Are you telling me that company drivers really take showers at truck stops and not the Marriott? Why the heck did I become an owner operator then?
