Default DAMN IT DANIEL SON!

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.

i don't get it. you work to much and don not show up for work on time. but then they giv away you 800 mile run that was too much work for one that is 300 miles, i suppose you can handle that, and that is wrong too. watch out, the world is out to get ya!!!

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.
