    think its time to start applying for a new job. Even though I dont have a year in yet, I need to start looking .

    Company is installing ambient temp sensors that will shut the truck off after 4 minutes between 20-70 degrees. EVEN IF IN GEAR, CLUTCH PUSHED IN WHILE STUCK IN TRAFFIC!!!!!!!!! How safe is that?

    yep, cruise control is already set at 60mph, which puts the rpm's below optimal efficiency burning MORE fuel in the end. The theory is it saves fuel that way. With this dick move , drivers will be leaving in droves.

    Alot of the OTR guys run so hard they have to shut down for 34 hours to reset their hours. these trucks batteries are designed to last for 10 hours until they cut off to leave enough juice to start the truck. So they wont be able to stay in the truck if they wanted. They'll be forced into the truck stops in uncomfortable seating amongst or not so hygenic trucker brethren.

    I had really hoped to get at least a year in this compnay before jumping for more pay, hopefully I can get on somewhere for more pay.

    okie dokie, should have done this last week.

    well, to catch you all that dont care up, I am now on loan to another dedicated account as my account has slowed in delivering JCP freight. I now haul paper foodservice goods. At least for this month. But it requires sleeping in the truck through the week. :twisted:

    could be. they sent me to chadland aka Iowa last week. BUT they are limited in that on fridays my account needs me to run a load for that account. I end up getting fucked in the deal though, I make my same rate which is lower than the rate drivers get on the paper account AND I end up losing a days work because paper runs days and my JCP account runs nights. On top of losing the extra pay for unloading. Paper account is live customer unloads or drop and hook.

    this run kinda sucks!!!! Headed back to Shelbeyville, Il with 170(?) oz tubs or something like that for marcus theaters.


    In other news, one of the companies I applied said thanks but no thanks as I didnt meet the minimum criteria on their assessment test? Guess they should have said to lie outright!!!! Anyway, onward ever onward but not until my 10 hour break is up!!

This place didnt say.Led me to believe they meant ever. that one is m-f daytime work in a day cab. about 45 to start I think, Thweres another I havnt applied to yet thats 4 days aweek for 800 a week or so. Opportunity to work a 5th day. we'll see. Nows a bad time for this line of work. spring will pop with job postings.

    Well good luck. You're a straight shooter and it will work out. Whenever I have hired people I don't look at their past, and I'm serious, I judge them by the first minute I meet them. After a minute my mind is made up. History to me and I'm sure I'm not the only one means jack shit. Fuck...if I was judged on my past history I would have never been given a job.


    Actually now that I think about it...my current history should mean I'm unemployed. :lol:

    could have made it easy to drop this trailer, but I wanted a shower and there are no facilities within 60 miles of the place I'll drop the trailer at. sooooo, here I am at the Pilot.

    Shower guys were nice and left a christmas card and a foil wrapped chocolate on top of the towel the leave for us in the shower.
