Lease Operator VS Company Driver thread (but in context of working for Wilson Logistics)

Wow, all I can say is your cart is wsy in front of your horse!!!!

You need to learn this industry and what the expectations are before anything else.

Companies push leaseing because they make more money off you, not you making more money off them.

The driving is the least time consuming part. The business end gets real complicated real fast.

You will net more money faster as a company driver. I know because I do own my own equipment. I also have my own authority. I can make better money as a company driver without the headaches.

Do what you want but understand reality.

Please vote today

Brett I agree with you on many things but not all. I see it as you have your opinion and I have mine. That is fine we are both free to have those opinions. That certainly doesn’t mean we can’t work together.

Were things have went off the rails in my opinion is when folks want to infringe on the right of others to have a different opinion from theirs.

I will never forget when after a committee hearing Diane Feinstein gave Lindsay Graham a hug. They both disagreed with each other during the hearing but they both respected each others point of view. Most of the Dem’s lost their minds and some even publicly called for her removal. That was insane.

I believe the loss of respect for one another is a root cause of much of the behavior we see out of folks throughout society.

I very proudly voted at noon the first day of early voting in Ga. Being a vet I have several issues that are important to me and I highly suggested to my neighbors to go vote. I gave one a ride down to do it.

This is the single most important elections I can ever remember. We the people need to reclaim this great country while we still can!!!

What NOT to eat. Nutrition on the road.

I’ve been reading along and thinking how this fits into my lifestyle and eating habits. I’ve come to the conclussion I’m kinda in the middle of this road.

I’ve lived this way the majority of my life. I’ve been blessed to always be healthy and weight has never been an issue.

I eat 1 meal a day, usually supper. Mostly meats and few veggies. I don’t take vitamins or anything else over the counter. Stay away from soda and generally drink coffee, water or beer. Occassionaly a good glass of wine.

I do eat bread as long as it is good biscuits and gravy with a couple over easy eggs. Breakfast food can also be good for supper.

I rarely snack on anything. Not sure why I don’t but I just don’t.

I rarely even get a cold. Never any health issues.

I guess I’ve been doing some good with my diet even though I had no idea I was doing it.

Appointment time and DOT

Yup you were placed in a no win situation not of your doing. Customers that do not have parking or allow us in until real close to appt. time run this risk.

Now on the other point if you had a window and cut it that close by choice, then that is on you. But if your hours available dictated that was when you would arrive, again nothing else you could do.

If I have a window I always shoot for the earliest I can roll in.

We can’t control what DOT chooses to do. Not your fault, just chaulk it up to experience.

Dg Fleet breaking my contract?

Well none of us know what your contract says so we cannot make any judgements there.

You may want to see if the warehouse is willing to bring you back in while your sorting it out.

My guess is they don’t have enough work and are playing games if you did everything well.

Court charge

Welcome, First off given the section you referenced, you must be in Ca.

Depending what county your in will depend on the DA and Judge making an issue of the registration req’t.

Next how old are the other misd’s? Also depending what med’s your on that can be a big issue.

You will have a large uphill battle without a doubt. Apply to companies that offer CDL training and see if any are interested. If one is interested in you be 150 percent upfront and honest with them and maybe they will take a chance on you. Be prepared for alot of no’s. But it only takes 1 yes to get started.
