Fact is most of the time, no matter what the company I'm with at the time, a driver that bitches a lot is almost always their own worst enemy. Not saying that the company is blameless all the time, but the drivers actions play a rool as well.

That's because you can't support your numbers. Never have, never will. You even got called on it by another Knight driver and you didn't even have the guts to respond. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nobody ever CALLED me on it. I don't know anything about the other Knight driver so I won't speak about him. What I do know is what my W-2 says that I just got in the mail. That's all I need to know. As far a weather you believe me or not...I could give a shit. You are nothing to me but a waste of space in this crowded world. No matter what I have to say you always have a negative spin on it because you just can't believe that someone could be as successful as I am. Go, ahead and go through your life being bitter. I will do my best to make you feel even worse by being even more successful but I won't be here bragging about it anymore. So go ahead and spew your hate and discontent with the other people here that may want to hear it. For me I am going on to a higher level of intelligence. I will however miss communicating with Skywalker and UTurn as they are probably the two brightest and honest people on this entire site.
So enjoy :wink:

BINGO! Give that man a cupie doll! :lol:

As soon as you send in that empty call, you should go on the clock until you get another load or unless you're out of hours. That would put an end to all the unpaid sitting around and force these companies to be more productive.

Like those old Grey Poupon commercials..."anything else is uncivilized".

Of course to some that pull numbers out of thin air they will do well but to the honest people that actually work hard and try, they get the shaft at this time of year. It has historically always been the slow months.

Dispatch loves the drivers who live out of their trucks for weeks on end. The guys who want to go home and have a life outside of and away from the truck sit around more often and gets the short end of the stick for loads. That's just the way it is.

That first part is absolutely true-- and I agree. It was the bitterest pill to swallow when I came to work here at Shaffer(Crete) a layover policy that states: We don't pay for lack of freight.

( now what the recruiter told me was--- we don't set trucks-- we'll bounce you To another area that has freight) -----Yeah, Right!
That's why I laugh at the XM commercial about "our drivers demand the best--or they'll go somewhere else."


CFM- I disagree on what you say about the Regional( home every weekend) drivers---- true, dispatchers don't like having to "pull rabbits" out their ass to get them home every weekend- But-- these drivers don't get "too short" of a stick on the freight end.----See the one factor you missed is--- the TRUCK has to turn X miles in that 5days to make the company any money. So these drivers still pull down 2200-2500 a week(working for a good company) and are also home weekends.--
This screws up the whole remaining OTR industry(and drivers)-- because all the freight is now mostly 500mile short freight--- which means, OTR drivers get screwed on the weekends anymore-- gone are the old days of expecting 1500 miles from Friday- Monday.

And Txdrvr is correct, as long as drivers are not paid layover for no freight, there is not incentive to work hard to find a load.

Crete drivers are told to set an accurate PTA, then, often when empty are told they are trying to find a load for the driver. My question is why did they wait until the truck was empty, since they knew the driver was on the way?

You are right Clay. I have no reason to lie about Crete. It seems though when someone mentions anything that is taken in a negative light though some will get pissed because they see recruiting money going away.

There is no reason to lie to anyone here at all. No need to put up phony numbers either. We all know what OTR driving and the companies are like.

Now January was a very good month for me and only sat a total of a day and a half also. December though was horrid and sat for a total of 7 days waiting on a load that was unpaid because Crete has a policy of not paying for sit time if there is no freight.

Those days were awesome. Just a slow time now. I had a good January for now so hope it continues.
