    They didn't include my favorite (most of which I shout at my Junkliner on a weekly basis)

    Well, the miles are already lost, the trip is f####d.

    Every penny counts.

    Pay attention because when you don't take your due from the company, they will sieze upon every opportunity to screw you over on residuals like DoV. Use it or lose it. Dont be a snob and turn your nose up at earned pay... and don't whine about it like a spoiled child

    Believe me, I don't waste any opportunity to make them pay. Every dollar I make them pay is one less dollar they have to pay some other cubicle dweller to sit there and not be allowed to make a decision.

    It's more of a frustration thing. What's the purpose of having a 24/7 dispatch system if you won't let them make a decision. I don't entirely blame the people on night shift as I do the management that restricts them from doing something that resolves the problem.

    I’m no stranger to that.

    It’s always nice at traffic lights when I go to take off and I can count to 5 before I start moving, especially if it’s one of those lights that’s only green for about 3 seconds. :rolleyes:

    Now I have everybody behind me thinking I mindlessly sat through the #### thing watching a Tik Tok video. Stupid automatic transmissions…

    If you’ve ever watched Bar Rescue, that’s the definition of what he calls a “stupidvisor”.

    It’s even better when expectations and guidelines are deliberately kept vague. We certainly wouldn’t want the peons knowing what they can get away with. :rolleyes:

    Finally got the conf# at 7:35. Went back in and this shift has 1 loader, 1 office person and 1 spotter...and a whole lot of spot trailers to load (for the competition) so there is no way I will get worked in today. They said to reschedule...so now I wait for Lincoln to make a decision.

    C'mon Brakebush!!!!!! Maybe they're like Beatlejuice and I have to say their name 3x to make them call

    Brakebush......Brakebush.....Brakebush.....nope, no call.

    I doubt the chicken hauler job will be much better than he’s dealing with. Still wait time he won’t get paid for. I run down from Big Cabin to Dallas with one of their hands on Thursday and said he’s tired of the reefer BS. He’s trying to on with Walmart.
     
    Dna Mach and Trucker61016 Thank this.

    Ya but SSB is used to that reefer bs.
    Brakebush is a good outfit that won't nanny him to death.
    It will be a big step up.

    He can work a spotter job they have open and make over $100k. Its a good drive from his home though.
