Can you honestly see drivers uniting/banding together to form some sort of coalition?
I mean really, people.
You stand a better chance of winning the lottery.

another bama voter. maybe he will let you drive a a smart car

I agree with you 100% there are alot of dumb drivers out there. Look at all the people leasing onto these companies for $0.90 a mile, I don't care who you are, your not making crap pulling a load for $0.90

Honestly speaking i would of drove the son of bitch home.. and told them they can come get the truck..i mean, what are they going to do leave a Truck Abandonment on my D.A.C. when they have over 1000 people Abanded!! F-Dat!!

Yeah, what they gonna do, fire ya? :p
I feel sorry for the drivers, but if it was me, I would have pulled my truck right in front of my drive-way.

But Hawk, what if you were say in Texas or Florida and only had enough fuel to go another 300 miles? You paying for the fuel out of your pocket?

To give a perspective on working and not getting paid - I had this happen to me, not in trucking

I was a programmer, systems analyst, technical sales consultant out of Houston. We knew for sometime that the company was in trouble. In fact more than half left the company before it finally died. We had lost benefits, only 3 people were bringing in consulting money (consistent billings), sales were extremely dismal.

The human nature is to try and do the best to save the company. We got some checks, but before we got to the bank, the CEO would call and say don't cash them. Many of the checks we got were for less than $1,000. Then after loosing the rose colored glasses, I and another consultant filed Texas PayDay law complaints. My complaint was scheduled to be executed on a Monday, his on Tuesday -- the Friday before the ceo filed bankruptcy.

Up to this point, I had sworn up and down I would never let this happen to me. Well it did, and I wasn't the only one. So before you slam people for letting this happen to them or that you will never let it happen to you - think again. Until it happens to you, you will never know what you will do.

That's easy, you drive it down a boat ramp and tell them to come get it.

I be in front of the local T/A, Petro, and The Great Pilot, panhandling Money Like Hell!!! And if someone called the Tow Truck on me, me and that S.O.B would be flying down Interstate like Smokey in the Bandit!! Cause hell with a Bus Ticket, I HATE GREYHOUND!!!

I wonder how many people showed up claiming to be Arrow drivers just to get freebies.
