Thanks for the replies all. Your right I can only leave what happened in the past and move on. Get thicker skin and deal with it. I was told by the recruiter today that I would be out with a trainer for 3 weeks to refresh myself with driving and learn how to secure a load. So any advice for the flatbeders for someone about to get in to it. My last job I had to secure furniture to make deliveries and I injoyed doing it. I know this is way different but I believe that I will injoy it too.

Okay so with my first company I was over the road for a while about 4 months and I requested some home time for a weekend. It got denied and when I called my ds about it he said that we need you to keep running for now we are short on driver's. I under stood and I kept going for another month. I requested again and this time my ds called me and said I will let you know when I can get you back home. So I waited a couple more weeks then I called him and said I really need to get out of the truck and see my family so please let me come home and he said no. So I left. The next company when they sent me out with a trainer who was a completely rude person I put up with it until he called me a retard. I requested a new trainer and they said no. So the second one is more my fault.

Hi all I've been reading forums on here of a while but i am new to posting on here. I have been a driver in the past with two other company's both of which i have had a bad experience with. I love being a trucker but the experiences have made me leave then industry twice. I am about to get back into it in about 2 weeks with Melton trucking lines. this will be my first flatbed driving job so any advise on that will be helpful but the question i have is how do i get over the bad experiences with my last companies so i wont let it effect my experience with Melton. any advise is welcome.
