Stay away from Transport Service Co

That seems to be the way of it now. I can only assume that the Midland, MI. load was for Dow and that changes the landscape drastically. ( for the carrier ) Whom tries to pass that fear on to you.

I went through the same thing with a family member and there was some carrier blowback.... but only for a minute.....and I took my 3 days. Like me, they had a choice and I let them make it.

And I agree Mac, hoping a job will get better or waiting to see what happens is a poor approach. There are good times of the year and bad times to seek a job and this guy had plenty of both so he had his chance to get out earlier.

Sorry for your loss Timman.

 

Oh... and Timman.... NO CARRIER, especially common cares about what you want. You are a tool like a wrench in a box to be used when needed and when you can't do the job they will get another.

You do not have a family and you do not need time off. You can run 70 hours in 8 days 46 weeks a year. You only need 35k salary a year to do this.

Drivers are a dime a dozen and there's 10,000 just like you waiting outside my gate.

Need I say more?

 

In retro, how they treat one driver is not how they treat another. I've seen the babies suckled at more than one carrier.

It's always beans with the steak and sometimes folks don't like the beans. That knife cuts both ways too. Dispatch has been known to cry the sky is falling repeatedly same as drivers turn down the slop.

In defense of a carrier, we need to try and understand that business makes him take all the freight. He doesn't get to pick his loads anymore than we do.

you could wind up in chicago every friday night like i did for a straight month. not anymore.

 

I talked at length with them about 2 months ago or so the writing is on the wall if you know what questions to ask them...

sometimes you need to read between the lines a little I guess, either way too many red flags for my taste I kept looking..

 

Right, must be a dispatcher saying those things about knowing the industry

 

What yard were you out of?

 

They werr great to me
