Alright boys and girls let's see what you think of the companies that you have worked for or are presently working for. How many of you feel you are getting what the recruiter says it will be like once you are on the road with them? :sauer007: Has your dispatcher made you promises i. e. " we'll have you home by..." and when you finally get home late you are basically told " it's just part of trucking" hey they may as well say "kiss my :aktion081: ! Does your company tell you they have " premium equipment" and you keep loosing your bonus because their state of the art "premium equipment" keeps breaking down or everyother trailer you go to get has to go to the shop for one type of repair or another :aktion087.gif: ?
After sitting at a customer for 18 hours or more waiting for that preloaded trailer you were sent to get does dispatch say " do the best you can" or do they reset your appointment on the other end? :aktion047: Do you feel it is fair to be compensated for your time when you are stuck waiting to be loaded or unloaded? :aktion035: Do you feel it would be fair to be compensated when you are stuck in the company yard while their "premium equipment" is being worked on i. e. the trailer you brought in hasn't been serviced in 18 months ? |

<span style='font-size:9pt;line-height:100%'>HEY!!!!!!! look at what I found!!!
The first poll that actually adressed the LIE conspiracy as was pontificated in a few recent posts.
This was first posted in Oct 2002, nothing like digging up real old threads, but this one has some merit.
Who knows, it may help some vent their frustrations over LYING recruiters and DISHONEST trucking companies.
Just in time for the Memorial Day holiday... Got to love it</span> |

What conspiracy you mean to say that all the trucking companys are plotting against drivers by lieing??
No way!!! That can't be true!
I love my job I like my truck and I tolerate my dispatcher. No-one lies they just beat the ####ing #### out of the truth as recommended in the master freight agreement. |

Way to go Doc....just after you got Twilight calmed down you have to go and bring something up like this!!!
Flash I am glad to see that you like your job/truck and are able to tolerate your dispatcher. One of the philosophies at Crete is to hire "Professional drivers who have a good understanding of the trucking industry." Not saying that the "truth beating" doesn't happen over here, just that the drivers we hire understand the industry a lot better then most! |

"Greyhound? Yes, how much is a ticket to North Carolina? Do you allow blunt weapons on the bus? You do? Great. Thanks."
:;):
Yep, it's a conspiracy. No doubt about it. Everyone is in it for themselves. Everyone simply KNOWS that it doesn't cost anything and takes no time to put a driver aboard, just so they can quit the next week...

<span style='font-size:9pt;line-height:100%'>The bus station is about a mile from the front door, so come on!!!!
I found an interesting piece I'm going to condense and post. It may be an eye opener, then again it may not, since the truth seems to be a rare commidity and then it all depends on who is speaking it!!!
THE TRUTH?!?!?!!? You can't handle the TRUTH
or any form that resembles anything like the truth!!!
Just think, the piece I have found was written by a Professor of Transportation and it concerns the decaying state of driver longevity!!!
More to follow</span> |

Oh I don't know, Doc. With your knee, it probably wouldn't be all that fair and considering that'd be the first thing I'd hit...
:aktion064:
:D
Looking forward to seeing that piece, though. Should be a good read.

<span style='font-size:9pt;line-height:100%'>Yes it will considering the article was written in the early 1990s.
The professor teaches at LSU, Go Tigers!!!
Well forget the tiger, the professor professes at Mississippi State, oh well close!!!!</span>

| Alright....I admit.....In the waning hours of yesterday I did commit a mortal sin......I blatantly, shamelessly, and with full knowledge did commit post padding! Am I sorry - yes! Do I realize I did wrong - yes! Will I do it again - No! Please forgive me and I throw myself on the mercy of the court! |

| Well dude - you haven't made a request for what kind of cookie you want......Goodness knows that I wouldn't want to send you a cookie that you had an allergic reaction to, went into convulsions and collapsed at your keyboard leaving those seven children fatherless....I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that I caused your fate! |
