I recently got a local job in San Antonio tx, and they are crazy man. The other day I spent 17 hrs behind the wheel, got back at 11pm and they wanted me to go back out again in like 5 hrs. I whent home and slept for 12 hrs. Since then Ive only been gettin 300 mile routes (halfway empty=.15 a mile) that takes 8 hrs of beeing on duty. Today I didnt go in to work and they have been calling me, I figure that ima return the favor since they never called me when things changed and I show up to the yard 5hrs early, or my 800mile load got switched to 300miles on two different occasions. Im tellin u Im thinkin of jus quittin this trucking bussiness, and go to my local bank with a letter hahah.

Id rather not expose the name untill im officially gone. They require 1yrs. experience. But I only had 6months, so they had me do a road test with a 57' trailer. And I had no problems passing their road test, so I got the job.
