    An ounce of prevention, a pound of cure......

    I'll give you a demonstration. Give me any company you are considering. I'll tell you about them.

    No, Einstein, I don't claim to have all the answers to success. But I know how to find out a lot about bad companies. I sense that annoys you for some reason...

    I don't know about snipers but there'a a lot of trolling going on here.

    It needs to stop.

    It won't stop. You're in the land of trolls, pros and otherwise. Just have to be able to recognize them. Otherwise you get sucked into their line of bs.

    Oh, I recognize a troll when I see one. They're not hard to find and they're real easy to get rid of.

    I think everyone’s experience can be different at any given trucking company. What one driver thinks is a bad thing, another driver won’t think is bad. Still there are some things about trucking companies that are universally unappealing to all of us. Poor pay, old and decrepit equipment, lack of benefits and so on. I think it’s best for anyone thinking about driving for a company to do their homework first. And even then there’s no guarantee you’ll get the right information you need to make an informed decision, but if you still end up getting bait and switched then at least you can say it wasn’t because you didn’t try to vet the company first. Lots of luck to all you drivers struggling to make the right decision.
    The struggle is real
