So ,I was raised to never get in fights, never hurt any one and be a good man to my family and protect them at all cost.
My mom was a Christian and raised me in that manor and later I gave my life to Christ as well,and serve him daily, with that we were taught to not su any one ever! Mom would always say let God deal with it. Here lately in the past few years I've jumped ship from company to company,because all the lies they just easily get away with while recruiting you. It's not just the recruiter s though,its company wide in most cases. Most recently I was wanting a company that is true OTR all 48, found one.... Well at least that's their claim, meanwhile I've been in the north east and Midwest (region) the whole time,it's been 4 months. More so I asked my dispatcher about this and I told him I was getting tired of going to Chicago area once a week and back to Penn and then down to Atlanta, it's a horrible triangle of traffic jams and construction.
You know that though, it's not easy.
So dispatcher tells me sure we can get you to Atlanta then shoot you over to Houston, I say ok sounds good.
Two hours later he calls me up and says we need you to go to Milwaukee then to Rockport and do that run for 3 days straight! Well it's forced dispatch so I want to try to keep this job and not jump ship again,I'm jumping around way too much, so I'm on that run,and after it's over ai remind him of Houston, well he says that's no longer an option it's for teams only.
So now I'm stuck doing that same ol triangle.
I said all that to say this,I'm under derest,and I'm not functioning like I want to my health both physically and mentally are being tested daily.
I never signed on for regional anything OTR ALL 48 , That'd what they advertise. For teams and singles.
That's the biggest lie I've heard in their industry .
I think some oneaybe me needs to su them ,and send a message that we aren't going to take it any more.
I would like to hear your thoughts on what I can do?
I'm trying to talk to the company about doing all 48 and they keep telling me where they go and don't go and what teams do and what singles do,None of that was told to me before they hired me. So what's my next move?

What if you get your wish and they send you to the west coast and you sit for a few days waiting for a load?
As others said, the company is going to run where the freight is and pays well.
You also might want to check if the company has dedicated customers that they haul for.

Your like high school bullies, no matter what I say or do you always will have a smart ### come back. I even hospitalized a bully once and he was in the hospital for a week and came back to school and still bullied others .
He has one eye now and doesn't smart off as much, but he still even then never changed.
So keep up your bully tactics ,I've even seen post on here from the owners doing the same thing. You guys are all the same , just some dumb ### bullies that will never change.

He's trying to help you.

If you hate the job that much why don't you just ask the dispatcher where you should drop the truck off? Leaving has to be better than stewing in your drama all day long.

Your last sentence is a pretty powerful statement with a lot of meaning. I will definitely be retaining it for my own future knowledge… thanks man
