I thought of another question. Say you get a really hot load that absolutely needs to be there and oops your kid gets strep, has a high fever and needs to go to the Dr?
There are two right answers here and those same two answers are also wrong.
First answer: Im a good mom, of course I would take him to the DR.
Second answer: I am a good employee, of course I would finish the load.

Quote: It never ceases to amaze me, the number of people that come onto a messageboard, asking questions about one topic or another. Yet, when they get an answer they don't like, they automatically go into defense mode and those nay-sayers are suddenly the bad guys.

I just don't get it.

Amazing isnt it?
Perhaps we should just start agreeing with anything someone asks.
Example:

Driver: Ive always wanted to try sniffing glue while driving. Does that sound like a good idea?
Us: Absolutely! It will make time go by faster and it will make the lot lizards better looking! :shock:

Two recruiters trying to talk someone out of driving. Usually they say don't drive for them drive for us. I am sure any time now a Swift recruiter will be here to tell this lady "that is a wonderful idea and when the time comes we will put your child through cdl school so that you can team". With a 1 year commitment of course. That is very sound advice gentlemen. My dad is a logger and my brother and I would go with him during vacations and on weekends. Did I learn about the rewards of hard work, YES. Did I enjoy spending time with him,YES. Did that A$$ho** almost get me killed,YES. Kids need to be around other kids.

I just think it is a selfish idea to want to drag your child around with you in a truck, there are plenty of other jobs out there and don't give the excuse that trucking is the only way to make a decent living, there are plenty of people who are not truck drivers who have raised kids, I don't think that you are thinking of your childs best interest here, I don't think you know anything about this industry or what this job involves, sounds to me like another wannabe who thinks that trucking is all fun and games,

OK, fair enough. Now go to the case worker who told you that this is OK and ask her to put it in writing and to get the managers signature on it.

Realistically, Scoe, that wont happen. No worker or manager will make themselves out to look like a fool. Not in the public eye, they are paid by public monies in most cases.

My point exactly!! And if it's not in writing how in the heck can she prove that she was given permission to do this on a full time basis?
