But still I had to pay bills at home and EAT AND LIVE ON THE ROAD. And I dont just blame Celadon. Like
somebody already said before, cutting the speed back saves the companies fuel, but to the driver its just another paycut on top of the bad miles.
No I was kind of saying it's more it seems to be picking up so to the person working there, it's hang in there! I feel for you, I really do. Don't take my word and go running back either, however it seems drivers have calmed down about complaining "no miles etc". I know we are trying very hard to get "new" freight. Understand the economy has been very messed up anyhow, I can't blame "Celadon" it's many companies going under or other issue's.
I understand if you have to move on to a bigger and better place, however it seems those who state they leave because of "no Miles etc" they come back within 2 months maybe a little longer, so they lose senority and other little benefiets. So that's why I state hang on!
I do understand the reason behind it all on both parties, it's just one that we all have to get along with or go to a small outfitt that does not care? In the long run that small outfit will go under :sad:
