{"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}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Maybe dispatch is taking it easy on you to start since you are so new. Trying not to push you real hard yet. Give you time so you don’t get in a rush until you’re a little more broken in. Give it a few weeks and see if it gets any better. Just my advise. Maybe drip subtle hints about all the sitting around time. Hope it gets better. ","replyToPid":0}
