    Pretty much. Can't argue with the collective though.

    There's a lot of companies that have infected staff.

    As a follow up from some of my earlier posts on this thread, to point out to company drivers that sometimes location and timing suck. I'm getting offloaded this Friday morning in San Antonio. I need to get back to OKC to get "back on the board" to serve our customers with high paying tariffs.

    I searched load boards and made several calls to brokers. Quite a few loads, pay is okay, BUT no customer in OKC area will offload until Monday.

    Without the pull of high paying freight out of OKC over the weekend, I might have to take a load with "too much time".

    My point is in this business you can't always "have it your way".
