I agree with your post,

In my opinion, trucking is the same regardless of what company one is with — meaning the goal of trucking is to get freight from point-A to Point-B.

The difference is the name on the side of the truck. However, that being said, some companies offer better equipment, but less home-time, and vise-versa. Some companies haul cheap freight none else wants and others haul premium freight that pays well and with good accounts/customers.

 

I hear what you are saying, but sometimes life happens at the least opportune times. I once started a production job that was highly physical labor intensive. Either the first or second day on the job I was sick with a fever and body aches. Felt terrible. Because I had just started, I decided not to say anything and suck it up. I dragged ### and fell behind. My manager looked at me like I couldn’t cut it, so I got moved around. Would he have believed me if I said I was sick? Probably would have thought it was just an excuse. Let me tell you, I am a #### good worker who has made a name for himself at every job as someone who busts his ###. Sometimes life happens at the worst times.
