    I am sure there are an infinite number of reasons to move on. Just curious to see what may be the more common reasons in trucking.

    How about crappy trailers
    How about an arrogant office staff at every terminal that look at you like you're vermin
    How about inaccurate DAC reporting
    How about skimming 8-10% off mileage pay

    Stupid wankers in farting trailers

    I have quit one so far. Had no plan to leave. Multiple Forced dispatches in a very short period of time sending me back and forth into an area they Knew I hated going.

    Owner turned the operaton over to his 2 sons ( back in the early 80's) been o/o ever since.

    Went from a great place to work to 1 that you dreaded going into work.

    $ for the day to day running of a trucking outfit was used for Corvettes , Pickup trucks , boats . Repairs were put off , fuel cards declined , equipment sold and not replaced. 6 of us left on the same day , 3 months later doors were closed.
