Never abandoned a truck but literally turned around half way and dropped my truck back in the yard when my dispatcher tried to make me run double logs
Jesus what dispatcher is THAT dumb. Was this before or after that big crash in colorado where the kid got a 110 year sentence?
What that mean
@@Darydude10 I believe they do that so they can make you run longer hours, because if you only run one log book and it gets checked and your over hours, you get a ticket. Also I believe it's illegal to run 2 but 🤷♂️
@@Darydude10 log book records your hours and shows how long you've been driving.
Holy hell. No way. That's a full on report.
Exactly. Most dispatchers have no clue what they are doing, and have never been drivers, so F around and find out.
Your jobs not that hard chill kid.
Most truck drivers are steering wheel holders these days.
@@djchedd
Pretty much.. I made way more money than I feel like I deserve last week. I don’t even feel like I’m working half the time tbh…
@@mrwonderful2081 driver assist loads pay better $150 a stop extra most guys would rather hold the wheel tho. Dispatched for 4 years for a local company.
@@djchedd
I’d never complain about three drops as long as they’re paying.
I know a guy that left the company truck in California. His wife was very pregnant and he wanted to get home, Dispatch kept him out west. He told them several times she was do. He flew home to see his new born baby and left the truck at the airport.
what a boss
Arent companies supposed to let them take off for their baby??
@21350ctw that's a fairly recent law
@@21350ctw FMLA is the law for that
@@21350ctw see you have labor laws, then you have transportation laws.. majority of truckers are not covered by Labor laws. Instead being covered by transportation laws...
Truckers make money if they do what the company wants... Truckers lose money if they get caught...
Kinda like war, soldiers live by paying attention to each other, but die because some limp dick politician thinks he knows more..
Deals are struck between 2 parties for amounts that are insignificant to them for each pawn in play.. those sides make money regardless it's ALWAYS the pawn and their family/friends who lose.
I do not think that Johnny the dispatcher was worried about Mike. He was just wondering where his load was.
You know it lol I was laughing like when does a dispatcher ever give a F they worried about that load
Exactly.
Cap. Italism
I just read trucking shipped over 10 trillion dollars worth of goods in 2017. Lots of money out there.
Yes
Had a driver quit where I worked. He witnessed another driver die in an accident.
He called dispatch, told them where the truck was, and quit driving for good.
Smart man
Truck driving is no joke. I drove for a year and a half.1 year with a regional company then went to a local company.
I almost got in a bad wreck and that was the last straw for me. I don’t get how some people do it. Little to no home time. No hobbies and very difficult to maintain any type of healthy lifestyle.
BIG NOPE FOR ME.
@@scottt6710my man. Knowing what’s best and healthy for himself!
@@Jackshaft yes sirrrr. Ain’t no check worth my life. I’ll pass. But respect to the men & women out there who can survive in this crazy ass industry.
@@r.d.9399 A very smart man. Trucking is overrated and a time drain out of your life. I’m glad to get away from the hillbilly idiots.
I worked for a trucking company about 15 years ago, and you couldn't even be a dispatcher unless you had a minimum of 7 years of over the road experience.
Smart
Was at the Canda border with my dad in a big truck, a guy in a bobtail rig parked next to us and we watched as he cleaned out this truck for 2 hours, I know I could of ate off that floor. Well we got talking and he told us he was abandoning the truck. The company had f***ed him over for the last time. He had already found a new company. He had been on the road for 6 weeks with no home time. He had over 30 years of experience said if he wanted to get f***ked then he would of stayed in the army. The kicker to all this the new trucking company had a driver to bring him a truck at the border, and the other driver who bought him the truck was his son, his son taxi back to the airport to fly back to Florida. The driver spent about two hours packing the new truck. He picked up a load right over the border and was heading home to Florida with a dedicated route with his name on it. He said the rest of his driving career he will be going to driving from Miami Florida to Seattle Washington then back and guaranteed home every two weeks.
I used to tell dispatch and the owners of the truck (along time ago ) if my paycheck is under 1200 ..the first time ..shame on you ...the second time ..get me a load to bring your truck back , cause im done ...i did it too three companies in a row ..im hear to make money .. not camp in a truck
I would never work for 1200... 3500 after tax minimum.
@@AndreasEUR other than O/O's few company drivers come close to that solo.
@@jeremiahlc1 i had 3500 and i was underpaid.
@@AndreasEUR I assume he's talking about weekly not monthly
@@deusvult6920 1200 weekly after tax is nice. That better than pay in Norway. Our minimum wage for trucker is about 19 had an hour. (Just below)
Something I learned as I became an adult is that hard work rarely pays. Every time I've worked for someone and work hard I've only ended up doing more than what I should and not getting paid enough.
Couldn’t agree with you more, goal of life is get as far ahead in society with as little work as possible and then retire
yup i’m only 22 but i wasted 3 whole years for nothing
@degeneratecentral6843 Dont sweat 3 years bro, Im 33, I've wasted 3 years of my life at least 11 times. You'll waste plenty more, then you'll realize the real waste of time was expecting something that life can't give you. You gotta give yourself peace of mind.
Achievement unlocked!
Reward-more harder work!
Yep, learn early to do the minimum to keep your job. The bull they feed you about taking initiative, going above and beyond, loyalty to the company is to get more out of you than what they paid for and generally ends up in even more work not getting ahead - a retiree.
I was a dispatcher for 10 years. There were times that I gave really horrible routes to my best drivers because they were the only ones that had a chance to make it happen. But then I would make sure I took care of them and give them better routes. As a dispatcher I knew what the worst stops were and I tried to spread them out so no one had to deal with all of them. But there are times that's not possible. I would also use the best drivers when there was a new territory or new school system ordering. And I would pad the time on the deliveries knowing that they were going to run into problems. They in turn would bring back information like the school parking lot is only accessible from a one-way Street behind the school not the street the address is on and other important factors. This allowed me to enter this information so that the next driver would have an easier time of it.
Instead of better loads give em cash not onto their checks but un taxed cash
Now why can these other dumb /stupid dispatchers do like mark. It would be an improvement
@@solorio114 I don't think dispatchers have control over wages.. it seems like op did what they could to help people out with the tools they had available.
@@BeatriceF3 exactly lol
Pretty easy to make someone happy to do harder loads or new exploratory routes, give them a bonus appropriate to how much harder!
the only one that lies more than a dispatcher, is the company owner
& Recruiters lol
Lol
@@scottt6710bruh recruiters promised i was going to make 1,400 a week bro my paychecks don’t go pass a thousand when i do 2k miles fuck this
Come now, some owners are pretty good. My stepdad worked for a pretty great trucking company that I can't recommend enough. They are located in Wisconsin and called Kaiser Logistics. He loved working for them, but they had high standards. I would use them exclusively for my logistics needs, but they are a bit expensive on the shipping side of the bill. I recommend them wholeheartedly if you are looking for a quality trucking company.
Evidently you haven't had to deal with the public.
When was the last time a company gave you two weeks notice before firing you or anyone else. just leave when you feel like it. Leave the truck wherever and don’t look back.
A good dispatcher is as rare as a good truck driver. REMEMBER THAT.
I've met tons of good drivers. But where I work the drivers all haul industrial stuff. Oils, chemicals, gas bottles and the like. Can't speak for the guys moving boxes of consumer grade.
@@dasboots3272 spoken like somebody that's never run OTR in there life. Good luck to ya.
@@Gen-Atari-X spoke like a guy who has never had to cover those OTR loads in their life. Good luck to ya
@@martymyers4528 7 years behind the desk. Talk shit to your momma, not me
I met two good drivers in 3 years of otr, 99.9% are bona fide idiots.
BTW, feel free to abandon a load, but know that you won't be driving cdl for anyone else afterwards. Blackballing is still legal in trucking, every company that looks you up will get that nugget of knowledge.
I'd expect brokers have their own ways of dealing with the owner operators who abandon loads.
I'm so glad I left this industry. I was fired the day my wife went in to labor while I was on hometime for refusing to get back in the truck and pick up an important load. That was my breaking point, these carriers have no respected for the drivers that sacrifice time with family, holidays, important events etc
Sounds like an FMLA violation by the employer. But most companies make habits of ignoring federal laws and regulations they don't like.
That's just about what happened to me the second I got off the truck they wanted me to get back on it and keep driving because they didn't have another driver I told him I'd only do it for double pay they told me no and to go ahead and go home and then they fired me while I was off.
Dispatcher: Someone who has NEVER EVER done the job they are giving you to do.
Im very lucky. My dispatcher is great. When I was new with the company and waiting on the service dept to prep my truck, some other drivers in the lounge chatted me up. They all would ask which dispatcher I got. When I told them the name of my first one, they all grimaced. lol
The guy was awful. Nice guy, but he'd never listen to you. I'd call him to ask about something, but as soon as I'd pause a second to catch a breat, then he would take over the conversation to read me whatever the daily safety message was... the same exact safety msg that came over the QualCom. lol
But I only had him 3 months until I was off probation and took a dedicated position. Now Im paid by the day, and my dispatcher is awesome. We rarely even talk. He gets sh*t done, and doesn't question my decisions. He gets me home on time, every time.
the company i work for we like to hire our drivers to become our dispatchers safe to say lots of respect between drivers and dispatch
That's how most jobs are. Your getting paid to do different work.
I don't expect you to manage the dispatch and I wouldn't be able to drive a clean route. But what u can expect, is that when you give me feedback on what you see on the road, that I do my best to accommodate you.
At the end of the day, if some hair shit happens and your the most trustworthy guy, then I'm calling you.
Hopefully I can make it up to you on the back end. It's gotta be give and take
@@drtyjerz47 fair enough
That sounds pretty ignorant.
I know many disphincters who drove.
They were the best.
I abandoned a challenger truck one time, it was visible from the house, it was loaded for NYC. When I signed on with them I told them the one place I wouldn’t go was NYC, so that’s all they dispatched me on. Took em 2 weeks to pick the truck up.
There's an old saying in the trucking business give the most work to The mule that pulls the hardest
Abandoning a truck is usually a career killer. Means your not trusted. I would have went back to the yard dropped the equipment off and left.
It's one of those things that if you say yes one time it's your thing forever
Phoenix, Az, 1982. Roadrunner Truck Stop, I-17 & McDowell Rd, some hand driving a C/O Transtar II was sitting for almost a week when his company wouldn’t have a load ready. So one morning the truck is sitting there in the parking lot up on blocks with all 10 tires & wheels gone & lug nuts scattered all over the ground, plus apparently the lot lizards were using it as a place to relax. He showed ‘em!
I've quit driving semis 300+ times over the years (in my head)...and I love my job, and work for a really good company. This truck driving thing gets really tough sometimes! 😁
Wth lol I just did a Chicago load with 4 stops damn that highway is always under construction.
It's called job security
There's always construction in all the highways across the nation lol
I deal with Chicago weekly fuck that place lol
I hate I-294 and I-80 at the Indiana border. Somewhere I am getting stopped by road construction.
Talking about 94 up by south side or 80/94 out by cline that's set up by idiots?
I told my dispatcher before I even got the job that I needed Easter off I had family plans. 3 days before he told me he can't give me it off I said that that's fine and just left the truck at the terminal and quit. Day after Easter I was already at a new company making more money.
I remember my dad getting calls like this, he was a local guy hauling machinery. Never failed as he was getting in his truck to head home he’d get a call from the boss man saying to go pick up some machine to have it at another job site for the morning.
Your Dad a Hard working man
turn the phone off once you make your last stop.
@@makeitpay8241 that’s not how things work.
seen this guys content... just remember if you work for a guy like this, you DO NOT have too. just find another job. there are good bosses out there that will value you as a human not just an asset... this guys dispatcher character is disgusting.
U do realize its not real right? Ronen is probably the person who cares most about drivers
@@uria711 that's why I said "dispatcher character"... I'm willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt and assume he's just doing a bit. but there is also truth in jest, and some suck ya know
@@bendees555 there's no assumption. This is a bit
I watched this the day after I delivered to 3 stops in LA.The first 2 came & went quickly & ahead of my appointment times. The Turd on the other hand was 5 hours after the second & they *WERE NOT GOING TO UNLOAD ME EARLY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES*
In my experience. Drivers are constantly treated like POS humans. I think it's a horrible industry to be e in as just a driver.
This is why I'm an owner opp
Everyone needs to fill their fuel tanks and DEF tank right before they get unloaded so if you decide to quit, you will have some fuel to run back to the house and then the company will keep your fuel card on so that you don't just abandon the Company truck
Ya but the company trucks now can be turn off by the company using a computer.
I had an old-timer tell me never carry more than you can fit onto a Greyhound, and always have enough cash on hand to get a Greyhound to go home. Well I don't really have to worry about that with the trucking company I'm with, I have a credit card specifically to bail out and go home if need be.
Yep you can literally have a job the second you quit the other one. But you should never just abandon the truck somewhere it never looks good on you
Really. I think if a driver abandons a truck it’s the company that looks bad. A good company will never have their trucks abandoned.
@@sethnmarshall well that's because you're inconsiderate and selfish You never stop to think to even consider anybody besides yourself. It's all about you and doing exactly what you want to do based on your feelings. Not about doing what's right but that's the world today I guess
Seems like the company could press charges if there was cargo that went missing. Or perishable food that expired.
@Duke of Prunes II they can't cus cargo is double insured. It's insured by the people who manufactured it and the logistics team that delivers. I mean only way a driver can be legally charged is if he stole the cargo. But truck abandonment is not a crime. It's just REALLY BAD MORALS and honestly it doesn't go off your record. It forever follows you. My grandfather worked with a guy who did this and he couldn't find a job for almost 2yrs cus he abandoned his truck and left everything unsecured including the truck itself.
@@matthewaldrich6455 Yeah, but sometimes you have to abandon the truck hell there are a couple companies that will add abandonment to your record whether you did or not. cough cough C.R.England cough cough.
With my company, I never blame my DM. My favorite cuss word planners, because they can't do math and lie like a rug.
yes idk wtf is wrong with the planners
all they do is look at google maps estimates
ive ignored all the timeframes for the last 1.5 years now because it's always bullshit
And if things don’t work out at this company no one will ever hire you because you have equipment abandonment on your DAC
Dispatchers make to much money... they need to pay the truckers more..
This is the reason drivers leave subpar companies
Correct me if im wrong. But as an OTR driver for going on 17 years. I have always been told a truck abandonment goes on your dot record. Which would make it very hard to get another truck driving job. More than a few times i have come real close to parking it and just walking away.
nope park it in a private lot,has nothing to do with dot,I've left trucks scattered all over the east coast lol
I sat on a lid for four days waiting for the receiver to accept it. Didn’t get detention and I was supposed to start my hometime. The company I was driving for told me because my hometime had passed I had to put in another 30 day notice.
That’s when I would turn in my truck fuck that
I would have quit at that point
Nope that truck would have been dropped at a terminal
I wouldve asked them where they want the truck parked
That's why I don't complain about getting paid by the hour OTR and overtime after 8hrs everyday I'm driving. I laugh at these drivers that b!tch about this kinda thing. Way to negotiate your contract. Sitting for 4 days gets me 4 days at full pay and a hotel.🤣😂🤣😂🥃🍻🍻
No matter how bad you hate the job, DO NOT abandon equipment. That’s the fastest way to tarnish your CDL. Other companies will see it and not take the risk on you.
There wouldn't be any bad routes if truckers demanded pay for their time. Saying yes to theft hurts all of us.
True that
never heard a despacher being this nice.
They beg or talk nice because it's coddle talk. They desperately want you to pick up the load. If you know what the laws are they can't threaten you and because it'll backfire on them.
Don't abandon a truck if you don't have to and NEVER damage a company vehicle. The company sucks, but guess what, you deliberately damage a truck, you will be lucky if your next job is as good as your last. Most companies with a good deal, will not hire someone who pulls this.
Gives you a very bad reputation to abandon the truck. Be professional and give notice
This isnt just truck drivers. Im a field service tech and our scheduling office tries giving us the dreaded 3 job day every once in awhile. Fury and anger ensues.
Ha ha, he thinks going to New York is a good deal.
I know that's right... Talk about irony
Miami to New York, probably running drugs for Cartels, Making Damn Good Money! But it’s a bit more Risky
From Miami to new York ....yeah that pays very good but who are you to know ...no one said nyc either don't jump the gun pale
@@movingearth3726 I believe. both are on the East Coast, I'm comfortable with my statement.🤣
Probably upstate.. which is not bad imo. I like it there.
Is it that hard to quit as a truck driver in the US?
I'm a truck driver in Europe, and when I tell my boss I wanna quit, he doesn't like it,
but doesn't make a problem of it.
I only have to tell him one month in advance.
Then we part as old friends.
Ya they always give the shit to the guy they can count on.
I was continually screwed with short no pay. I dead headed back to the yard, dropped the beast and went with another company. Only to find out they did the same. I'm out. Took up wood working, broke, but home every night!
That's called truck abandonment. It WILL go on your DAC report and you will never be hired by any reputable company again. Don't do this, ever. That higher paying job dude claims to have gotten will drop him like a hot potato as soon as the DAC report is updated.
No body looks at the DAC anymore you clown .. it's all about the CSA scores now 🤣😂
I will only do that when I decide to never drive again.
Truck abandonment will keep you from future jobs. Gotta leave the right way no matter what
If you quit. Always return the equipment. Truck abandonment is bad for your license
Like dispatcher give a s#it about truck driver. They care more about the truck that the driver
Wouldn't be bad if they would just pay hourly with OT!!! U could make 5 bucks a mile and still only make 20 bucks a day!!! Hourly with OT is the only way to go!!!
Abandoning a truck goes on your DAC report, good luck getting another driving job for the next 10+ years
My dispatcher sent an uber one time to wake me cause my phone was on silence.
Never leave truck like that !!! It will go on your record and nobody is going to hire you after that
You Abandon a truck and if the company puts it on your DAC report you are fucked from getting another job till you take them to court to get it removed. I got accused of Abandoning my truck and it was In their Yard and i was not hooked up to any trailer. Truth be told I took my Week Vacation soon as my last paycheck cleared which was in I was on Vacation I quit right then and there. two days after i quit and had all my stuff turned into them and got my paperwork they called me to do a "random" drug test and i kept that voice mail i knew what was up. Sure enough my DAC also said i refused to take a Drug Test. When we went to court I didn't just sue them to get that shit removed I went after Monterey damages it caused.
I hate companies that pay per mile and want you to do multiple drops...most do the Toronto Montreal run
I hate Montreal deliveries
@@MG-hk9kx why ?
@@truckingwithfauz7089 Mostly because the drivers are awful and there is never ending construction. Montreal isn't very truck friendly unlike the industrial areas in the GTA where you can park on the side of the road for a snooze. I was never a big fan honestly
Then a vehicle abandonment get on your record and no one will hire you ever again. My uncle did that and still couldn’t get a trucking job after ten years
Im new to the business myself Just got my first job and Im still in training. I can imagine how frustrating it is have to be loaded 3 times especially when you paid by the mile. You wana drive not sit on your ass.
So how do you quit a trucking company properly?
Because they’re not gonna just fly you home after you quit
This is a for real question thought I honestly what to know
you have to plan your evac point. companies will intentionally keep you 1-2 states away from youuur home of residence to prevent you from leaving. If your company is big enough, say that you want to team drive with another driver, get routed to an appropriate terminal and disappear like batman. In all my life, I've always given a minimum of 2 weeks notice, but trucking companies are employed with some of the most amoral sob's in existence. You give them an inch, or an inkling that you're going to leave and they'll lie to you multiple times a day, cut your miles, or put you in dangerous situations. Have an emergency credit card, or prepaid visa, and some cash. Best of luck.
Take home time, clean out your truck, leave just enough clothes and items that you can fit in a suitcase. Request to be routed to a terminal to turn in your truck.
2nd option, request to be routed into a terminal (or request home time at one) rent a car, or if your next driving job will rent one for you to drive to orientation, clean out the truck and drive away. Of course turn in the keys and take pictures of the truck. If you can get someone from the terminal to do a walk around with you it's even better.
@@DJ-jq5rh thank you
Worst I did was turn in my keys at a customer we were serving and had a dispatcher at. If that had failed, would've driven down to our corporate yard
Always return the truck to the yard Abandonment is serious and you will have a hard time finding another driving job
Unless you find the other job first
Only the shit jobs. Stop listening to the mega carrier propaganda you probably believe there's a Driver shortage as well?
abandon a truck is not the right way to go. No matter what
Unfortunately if you agree to do a run! Just do it then on return you’ve filled that load for the company brought the truck to the yard and at that point it’s a good time to decide if it’s worth staying but never abandon a truck or a load on route 🙄
Guys if you are company driver, your job is to go where company sends you, if you don’t want to, just go and become owner operator. Stop just playing around.
When they say that's all they got,you know your done,I ve herd that 2 many times in 28 years.
Don't abandon a truck, take that loaded truck right back to their yard and drop it, so the dispatcher can keep an eye on it, while they try to hire a guy willing to put up with their garbage, he can finish that load.
I would never get my CDL because of nonsense like this. As someone that works in logistics though I would be furious if a driver abandoned my load. I've stopped using companies for nonsense on a regular basis. Central Transport for example has very low LTL rates and then a month later they send a bill for reweigh fees that are over twice the weight of the pallet. I will never ship with Central for as long as I have control over my shipping. There are too many logistics companies to be too picky on what you are and are not willing to pick up. Someone can and will do it for a better price.
Every time I hear your dispatcher voice I am thankful not to working for my old contractor boss.
Dispatchers - Are you listening??????????
I love these shorts. They are so accurate.
Why would you miss the opportunity to tell the dispatcher what he could do to himself?!
Never abandon a truck under a load.
No driver would abandon a truck for 'no reason', who would spend their own money to get home unless someone pissed them off severely.
I’ve been close a couple times when you been out for more than a month and all you wanna do is go home and have a day off and then you have a day where it seems like nothing can go right that pushes you to the edge
One thing I learned my first year in trucking long ago is that you should always have your next job choice lined up already at all times So you don't have to put up with outrageous bullshit and you can just bail at any time. I quit on average every single year for the last 15 years and I have no regrets because that's what got me away from the mega carriers and into much better jobs with double the pay.
The reasons not to be a driver are increasing as the days pass.
My dad had to keep driving in Florida for 6 months straight never got to go home once.
As a driver. You can not make money with the drivers door open. Multiple drops, unknown destination, (yes you get the load and head west, just to find out it is east and they don't want to pay the backtrack.), and traffic jams.
Yup, have had the same BS runaround from dispatch. Multiple drops, two day layovers sleeping in the truck eating junk. Tried to send me out two days farther from home when I had prearranged some business back home. Told him no way not taking the extra miles, get me home, I am done with you. Push push push, give them an inch they want a mile.
I quit over being sent to Chicago all the time. I hate delivering there.
“I knew i can depend on you” that means “I knew I’d give you this load and you wouldn’t complain like other drivers”
When dispatchers tells us it should be a good (day, all stops should be fast, they are close so should be fast) just to make us feel better. It's better you just say how many stops and WE will see if IT SHOULD BE FAST. When we expect that it won't be....
Dad used to drive for a guy who got caught crossing the border with 35, yes 35, illegal immigrants in the cab of his truck.
Yeah, that's the industry. However, NEVER ABANDON YOUR TRUCK! No one will hire you after that.
I quit a company called MMM fright Corp out of Schaumburg, Illinois
The owners are from Moldova notorious for scamming the driver from there paycheck And manipulating there ELD .
I like to find new job andschedule start, request home time, say ill be awhile start new job same day and wait for the hay where are you we need you. I'm like headed to Vegas. I'll be back the 2nd Tuesday of next week.
This strategy avoids the gouge on that last check.
Hey bro!! I'm a member of that same fringe minority. Rock on!!
ALL BAD COMPANIES DESERVE THIS LEAVE IT .
Three stops in one day in Chicago. Utter BS if they are separated by more than twenty miles each.
Always sad to see these drivers with over two years experience and can’t find the right company to drive for. This year I made 116K, 6% 401(k) match, pension, home weekly, 24 paid days off at 53 dollars per hr.
He pushed the driver past the breaking point. Not a happy ending for either one.
always put the truck in the shop for "repairs" or just put in your 2 weeks notice.
So glad I drive for a great company. 1 pick 1 stop. Anything over 2 hrs. I get paid.
Name please
Right they don't give af about drivers just want they shit off then act like they care when u quit
Dispatchers dont care about their drivers, they just want to clear their boards as fast as possible while still taking a huge cut of the money made from the load. Making all that money and never leaving home
"I've never met too many bosses that really cares about anything except the bottom line!"
A dispatcher just needs to know when they give someone a shit load, make up for it later on with better loads. Drivers aren’t just a computer programme you give instructions to and expect them to just get whatever you say, done.
Never abandon a truck. Bad news when that happens.
Not true I’ve told two companies to piss off the truck at the truck stop when they both failed to pay me only companies dac report is pretty much non existent now of days been driving 20 years now
Not true. The mega carriers brainwash people into thinking that is true only the mega carriers with the shitty jobs use dac reports they lie about that just like they lie about the fake Driver shortage.
Then Mike ask for a reference in another job and dispatcher takes his revenge .
Miami to NY is worth quitting again.
I-95 for 3 days? Nooooo thanks.
I heard from a friend after starting as a new driver and then only one day out with another driver was left on their own to figure out what to do when handed their first load. This person got cold feet anxiety and never went back to work leaving the load in the company yard and had notified the dispatcher yet later learn the company called that driver he walked of the job. The load sat at the yard for a week and the dispatcher knew, so who at fault?
