Being a reefer driver I do a bunch of waiting. Ive been in places where the shipper/receiver will say "Its going to be awhile" then look up looking for the typical trucker reaction. I just smile and chuckle alittle and say take your time. I have all day if you need. Im usually out of there in an hour. Right now im in MS. Showed up at 3pm for a 6am next day appt. The receiver wants to load me right now bc i was so polite. Attitude does matter.

Thank you :)

I just read your "comeback" thread. Congratulations on the new gig!

I am no longer with the company nor am I a trainer.

What company do you train for?

I figured id resurface this one. Redgator in rare form lol

Yup 53' reefer here. I tried one of those pups once. Couldn't back that thing for nothing lol

From what I have read Maverick has the highest paid training. Ive also met quite a few drivers and never heard complaints. I looked into tempered glass way back when but flatbed just isn't my style

Yeah I would have needed a whole bus to myself! Glad someone was there to help unload my WEL truck and reload my ASL truck too!

Welcome back, RG! Your sage advice head been missing, and the regulars, at least, knew it.

I know there's no way you could take all you're stuff out of a truck and ride Greyhound, at least without a G'hound trailer! ASL saw a jewel and snapped you up!

Thanks for the warm welcome fellas:-) Kieran I couldn't explain it even if I tried. Bud I have a screenshot of what I said and it was in no way shape or form derogatory but hey what can I say. Maybe they got tired of me b******* about not making any money. Idk and quite frankly I stopped carind after seeing my paychecks. $923, $936, $1147 $1326 $1497 plus 2 full weeks off in between. Definitely cant complain about my money now! Scott I honestly cant tell ya how to get the 5 star treatment but I can say this. My trainer at WEL went to ASL about 6 months after i left her truck and she had been there bragging on me ever since. My reputation as a good driver is strong. I worked hard at it and building a relationship with everyone I meet. Im a pretty spunky girl so Im easily remembered. Lol Brett Im in a much better place now. No hard feelings. It was definitely time to move on. I was hurt at first but when I realized why it happened I had to laugh. If my job performance is outweighed by my supposed facebook post then hey so be it. I was not liking how i was treated in the end but hey what can you do. Life goes on. PJ glad I could drag you back out. Life sure does get in the way of things sometimes for sure

I definitely am much happier now. WEL was a great starter co for me but i got too comfortable and over stayed my welcome. Im in a much better place for this stage in my trucking career.

I guess their skivies got all bunched up. Oh well, you came out smelling better than you went in. Congrats on the new ride.

Thanks OS. I must say I thought id get a paragraph from you for sure lol

Congrats!

It's really good to hear from you!

That sounds like a great gig you're on now - glad to hear about your continued success.
