Mitchno1 and op and those of you sucking that bs up... Trucking companies just looooove using you subservient authoritarians up. They sit you on the side of the road for 2 days, pay you 80% of the miles you run, put you in junk trucks, push you to drive illegal then punish you for it.. "forget " to get yo uhome or.. give you a swingby for half a day.. and you just suck it up. And then you get on the cb complaining how the gubmint or obama or god knows who is screwing you over. Real truckers dont and never have put up with that.
I've run all over and everything from dry van to bedbugging (which i actually like except for the hometime). I work for >MONEY<. I'm noones b*tch. I work HARD. Im on time. My logbooks are always legal. My truck is always legal and if somehow it aint or my dispatcher needs me to finish a run a hair shady ill get it done. In return i expect and Demand to be treated with respect. I demand my pay, all of it. Most of all i demand my hometime. Ive never had a problem with a dispatcher except one who Was NOT my dispatcher and called to complain i hadnt finished a 400 mile run they had dispatched me on 30 minutes earlier (yes i'm serious).
So go on. Be servile. Listen to the idiot op. Suck it up.. make 700 a week living in a vibrating box getting fat and losing your friends and family. I deserve more than that. You all do too but a few of ya dont know it.
And to ANY idiot who says "omg dont jobhop ever u should never quit if they treat yo ulike crap"... the day a hardworking class a driver cant get a job is the day this country no longer exists.
