{"text":"I'm on the second run of my career, the first was 1163 mile run and I end up getting to my destination 28 hours early so I set at a Flying J half a mile from the drop. my second run is a 622 mile run and I'm sitting at a loves 50 miles from my drop with 41 hours to get there. so is this normal to wait so much?","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
{"replyTo":"","text":"Definitely not! I usually get to my receivers within an hour of the appointment time on day deliveries and the evening before on post midnight or morning deliveries. Rarely more then a 3-10 hr window. I also know where my next load is going before I deliver my current one. Time to find a new company. ","replyToPid":0}
{"replyTo":"","text":"lots of questions come to play if your working for a big mega Carrier and are finding this is happening alot and have enough experience find a different job because they will waste your time I know I've been there seems like forever ago now but I've definitely been there in conclusion id definitely look else where for a different job because if you like to run and be there on time and don't want to sit this is not normal it took me several tries before I'd finally found a company that I don't sit longer than a half hour unless its for some complications of the load but sitting at truck stops I refuse to do and if the load can only deliver at a certain time call the shipper or receiver and say that your close by pass what time your company says it delivers and if they get upset you did that tell them to piss off!! find another job driver!! your worth more than you think honestly!!","replyToPid":0}
{"replyTo":"","text":"When I started 25 years ago and just as green as any new driver, I went through the same things that apparently is still going on. I was a tad different because I already had a class A bit for some reason your local experience means nothing. I couldn’t get hired by anyone and I was too young to know how to get around the BS of the mega carrier scams. So I went to truck driving school.... yep. Even though I had a class A I was told nobody would hire me. So I paid like $4k to sleep for a month then went with Werner. \n\nStayed in the Werner motel, went through the Werner training. Got a trainer and headed out. Can’t drive at night. Can’t do this can’t do that. Trainer needs home time. Get dropped off at a roach motel in Sacramento for 5 days while trainer takes home time. Get paid $200 a week. Takes like two months to get your own truck. Finally get there and get my first run. Denver to Vegas. Drop and immediately get Vegas to Florida. NICE! But wait.... solo can’t do that so switch trailers with so and so in wherever place 800 miles away. Then take his load 100 miles to unload. Then sit for 2 days. Then shuttle trailers from drop yard to drop yard at about 200 miles a shot. Then sit. Then get 1000 then sit..... back then I was hired at $.24cpm. My biggest paycheck was like $500. But I stuck it out to get “experience” then got hired on with a small owner operator that had MILES and took me on at $.36cpm. I’ve never looked back. The company I am with now is great and I’m making great money. There have been times I run out of hours and have to reset but that’s the only time I EVER sit. I always have a load out and one back every week. Don’t let these big companies push you around. Stick it out and get a solid CLEAN year under your belt then go find a great job. They do exist 👍🏼","replyToPid":0}
