I agree with JT, but also I'ts plain to see that you are not cut out for trucking, you need to have thick skin for this job. Your best bet, before you start needing anger management is to give it up, or drive local in your home town, or something like that. You can't make money on the road if your only gonna stay out for one trip. If thats all you can handle, well you need to leave trucking and start doing something with your higher education. Good luck to you friend, I would call your Driver, but you are far from it....

J.T. - FYI I have a COLLEGE DEGREE in drafting! I am more educated than 90% of the other drivers on the road. Considering I served my country with the US Navy, and I have a college education, I think I deserve to let a bad word slip in every now and then. By the way, I NEVER....NEVER...in my whole 5 years of driving cussed at a shipper or receiver or any other kind of customer. If I could find a local job I would. They are few and far between and don't pay enough to cover the basic bills. Big G screwed up...plain and simple.

You think it's ok to just take whatever miles they give, no matter how few and be happy with very little hometime? Man, I've been driving on and off for the past 10 years! 5 years of nothing but driving. The squeaky wheel gets the oil ya know? How are you supposed to get what you want if you don't say anything? Please explain.

Well there is always more to a drivers story than what is told. But on on the other hand, companies also do what they please as well. But you told on yourself driver. You whined too much. You obviously have not been driving very long. This business is not a travel agent. It is in the freight business. Maybe you need to work at McDonalds. I am not taking up for Big G, but they did screw up. No mention of getting performance write ups. Even though Tennessee is a right to work state, not having those will cost them unemployment payments being made to you. Good luck on your next opportunity, and quit whining. This business is trucking, and requires you to be away from home PERIOD! As, far as the charges, they have to provide you copies of your deductions and reasons for the charge. But it sounds like they were billed for two days and deducted it from you. Foul language always shows your education level. If you cussed them, then you cussed their customers. Very unprofessional!
