Just think TF you could recruit new drivers and show them the trucks at the same time.

Not in this lifetime. :moon: Borg, I don't see anything bad in your file at all. It just says Quit, didn't like company policy. They base the DAC reporting on that, so your DAC should say Quit with a satisfactory work record. If you DO see something different show up, definitely let me know, though. But you shouldn't have anything to worry about...everything in your profile is positive and Heartland doesn't use DAC to screw drivers.

Company X-- week#1 final
2678 paid miles ( practical-short) 48 hours by the house picking up gear over the weekend Weeks Begin/End Wednesday Night 5pm I'll finish out the year- 2008 with brief summery reports. Thank you all & my friends here at CAD for taking an interest. Ps-- I see DacFix is now advertising here... despite TF's comments that they are a "scam" outfit.

Is that one company?
Is that Shaeffer-Heartland one company? I had heart good things about Heartland, but all the sitting around would totally suck! That's sort of funny yet sad how you did the math. Truck drivers are being paid less and less each year and we need to do somthing about it. It's getting to be pathetic.

I believe him. Headborg has way too much street cred on here to be BSing us about that. Looks like our HB is now running "hot 'n heavy!"
