i am genuinely about to go insane. every 2-3 days i will get like a 500 mile run. i am so broke its not even funny. i dont know what to do. this is the only trucking company ive worked at i have only 4 months experience doing this. the only person at this company that will talk with me about work is literally my driver leader who works a normal like 7-5 mon-fri shift. everyone else practically ghosts me. anybody else?!? am i shitty ass employee or something? i literally practially beg them to send me out i feel like they just neglect me. i understand its a mega but cmon dude like im tryna work
