[b]WOW!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I thought I had alot of jobs.

 

Ive had 3 since 1-1-03 two with same company , one that turned out to be seasonal and the one im with now. The one i worked twice for when i quit the first time i was right out of school and had worked two months and was having a hard time adapting so i left waited 3months and tried again with a different mind set and gave them 15 months till i finally left because of a obnoxious dispatcher with a people problem. From what i hear on the cb dispatchers are a big reason drivers leave jobs.

 

Well if your not treated well at the job your at, you've asked for help & received NONE. I don't think you should stay. I've had 9 trucking jobs in the last 6 years. I'm happy at the one I'm with now, they treat me respectfully, keep their word, & plan the loads with enough time to get there. & they have yet to ask me for a "FAVOR" before getting a load home.

 

just for the record this is the only driving job I have ever had. Odds are that this is where I will retire. I got lucky and got a good one the first time.
I admit that it hasn't been all a bed of roses but in the overall the +'s have outweighed the -'s by a ton. It's little things that make the difference. Like earlier this year when I had a family emergency and needed to take a weeks vacation. I hadn't reached my next anniversary date to get my next round of vacation yet. Now they could have let me take off and waited to pay me until I had earned it but they didn't. They could have said that I could take the time off unpaid. They didn't. They let me take a week and trusted me enough to go ahead and pay me for it even though I didn't have it coming yet. There was never a question, it was " what do you need". When you find a company that treats you like this the small BS does not matter.

 

Your very lucky K, most of us have to go a few rounds before we get it right...I'm happy for you & good luck
