Swift Transportation VYC

If you sneeze wrong, you'll piss off a planner. I was an I/C for A&A Express from 2021 to January 2023. I pissed off the Texas planner because I asked him to plan me as early in Laredo as he could. This is because if you went after 12pm, you could forget it. There was no chance you were getting out of there the same day you went and the idea of being trapped there didn't sit well with me due to the rampancy of aliens hopping onto unsuspecting trucks. Not to mention the amount of drivers being beaten and robbed down there too. So after a while, I was banned from Laredo. When I went in January, unaware of the former development, he got mad, removed me from the load, gave it to a company driver and sent me home. He then sent an e-mail, throwing me under the bus to that customer by saying that I was difficult. Afterwards, he gave me a load from San Antonio to Atlanta, GA for $2000.00. Yeah, they can and will hurt you.

After a meeting with the higher ups, I could see that I would be going nowhere. That planner had numerous complaints against him BUT he was up there with the president and vice president of the company. So I opted to leave. I guess it came back to haunt them as they were closed down last year after too many foul ups and the fact that they were losing contracts left and right. So there's that. NO ONE in the company is your friend. If I were to return to driving, I'd treat it as what it is: MY JOB. There are no "let's get a beer after work" vibes at this point in my career. I'm there for a paycheck and I'll stay professional until I move on if I need to.
