    Sounds like to me an expedite van actually.

    What does the company say about why you are there for 9 days? It's only a van, it's not like it's expensive to deadhead it even 1,000 miles to get it productive again....

    They are playing you. Get the hell out of that truck and get a real job where sleep eat and drive drive drive. You have 2 options. Give them an ultimatum and be able to back it up. Or sit in a ts and be broke. Every been on the road broke? NOT good.

    9 days waiting for a load sounds like Sting and that Karma Sutra “edging” sex stuff.

    No, this guy's an expediter. Doubtful it's a prank.

    So, you are afraid of being fired from a company that hasn't given you a load in 9 days. You picked the wrong company sir.

    Run a thread on relevant questions you might ask before choosing your next company.
     
    bigguns Thanks this.

    OK let's be a bit honest here.

    YOU work for Bolt Express - right?

    Where are you at?
