Truck Driving Jobs

So your saying all boat and car haulers run illegal? PAleeze....I've ran with a few parking lots in the last 22 years....guess what? I also call :dung: . Drivers willing to run illegal help the brokers keep the rates low for everyone. I run 4 loads a week from Vegas to Northern Az and I still make over 50k a year with weekends off. Just pray that you don't get into even the smallest accident and be illegal, hefty fines await those that are.

this guy reminds me of those IDIOT COAL HAULERS in eastern Ky, when they don't run legal and kill some one they are the first to claim I did not do anything wrong, not my fault. They run illegal and would not know how to run legal. Hell he is better off with some little independent owner.

Your right about that! More money and less time spent lookin at the clock.

Sorry, i dont mean to put down ALL car and boat haulers. My log is always updated and is legal at any given time, just so you know. I get rid of fuel receipts and toll receipts every 5 hours.

Back to the subject=They took $530. from me and justified my not giving a 2 weeks notice.
Even if you add the miles and fuel usage from my last stop to the terminal it only comes to like $100. not $500.

Say what you will TF, your one of them and i'm not listening.

That's obvious. :roll:

Keep feeding my post, you know you cant stop.

Why would I want to stop it? I'm not the one that abandoned the truck and I'm not the one that charged you the recovery money. That was all you and your company. I merely offered my opinion on WHY they hit you with the recovery and you were the one that decided to act like a doofus. Look at the replies you are getting on this thread? Whether the company was right or wrong, you haven't garnered any support from other posters.

Deep down you have to know that's not the right thing to do to a poor trucker. And if you do ,your scum.

I never stated whether it was right or wrong...I told you WHY they did it. What your opinion is of me is irrelevant and I certainly won't loose any sleep over it.

I got a job with another independant here in FL. And i do know how to run hard and i am very efficient. We'll just have to see what he's all about. Wont have to worry about a 14 hour clock. I can run my own log book like when i used to haul boats.

And when you have that big accident, what then?

He can run his own log book? Then why am I running Bob Johnson's from Clearwater, Florida. He didn't even leave me enough hours to get home.

And he said that he wasnt going to listen to TF. Now thats funny. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: He is mad at the world and he is going to bash anyone that offers him any help.

Like I said earlier he reminds me of a coal bucket driver, "NOT MY FAULT"
He is the one that dumped the truck. Acting like a little kid. :roll:

Ah, another low wage "rookie".....I guess you just haven't fathomed the fact that multiple log books and so forth are no longer the rule, but the exception in the trucking industry....But, you will think everyone else on this board is wrong and you are the "original all that"...right up until you kill someone and then the real crying will begin...Perhaps you should re-think your "career" moves.

$530. does not equal miles traveled. The big companies are crooks. I could expect a charge but not $530. I DID NOT ABANDON THE TRUCK!

I already got a job with an independant in FL. I'll give you the updates.

But that's just the thing. You did abandon it. If they charged you, then they consider it an abandonment and are charging you for the "recovery". Even if you left it at a terminal, if it wasn't the one they wanted it at, then they are going to charge you for whatever it takes to get the truck to the terminal they want it at and they are going to hit you with an abandonment.

Right or wrong doesn't matter here...that's what they did, whether you agree with it or not. It has nothing to do with me or with any other large company. It's between you and your company and I've provided the reasons as to why they did it. I'm not sure why this is so difficult to understand or why you feel that it's my fault or any other big companies fault.
