Its me the original poster. Anyway, yes I had my license since I was 16, and my CDL at 21, and yes I can drive out of state, I do 48 state. This week it looks like I will be taking in 1100 miles, so its a better then crap week but still junk. they just have me sit on loads after loads, or I wait like half a day for a load, then they say no freight in area go deadhead to this city and see if we get a load by then etc.

Also I was at a rest area heading east bound. They gave me a load to Kingsford Manuf. and it was 134 miles away from the qualcomm, which starts the mileage close to where I am at im assuming. Problem was I had to head west bound, and the next exit was 26miles away. So when I got to the shipper I got a msg on my qualcomm saying call dispatch immediatly.

He goes are u following the route? how the hell did u go 50 miles out of the way on a 134 mile trip? Says if u go too far out of routing they can charge me $.88cpm for every mile out of the way. I told him why and he just got all pissed and said well just so u know in the future we can charge you for out of route.

how lame is that, and btw, im not a troll. if u search I did like 4 posts called training with werner part 1, 2, 3, and 4 or something. was either with this username or my other one, Drychtnath or Drych7nath.

Welcome to the world of trucking, where everybody is out to screw the driver.

You are still young. Perhaps you should consider getting into a better line of work.

Yup, everyone turns into Paris Hilton after a few shots but then I wake up next to Rosanne Bar

Dag gum! That would be a rude awakening. :shock: :P

Yup, that's why I only have one arm now. I was afraid of waking her up so I chewed it off. I'm glad it was my left arm though :D

Thats funny.... like that beer commercial.. Did you see it.

y'know...

In all honesty, reading this forum (and others), I'm half amazed there are any truckers out there at all. The companies all suck, the pay almost always sucks, the shipper sucks, the receiver sucks....

yet still... there are thousands and thousands of drivers.

Makes you wonder about that old adage, doesn't it?

80 Million flies can't be wrong... :roll:


(note: yeah, I'm not a driver yet (stupid damn doctor), but I intend to be one soon. Good thing my wife has a high paying job as a paramedic!) :lol:
