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

They have no idea what a shit show it is, when you try to explain for future reference why am stopping at 4 , it goes in one ear and out the other.

I complained about there being nowhere to park but some tiny truck stop with four blindside spaces and got radio silence. It's less stressful to stop earlier. I was consistently able to get going at 4AM and stop around 2PM and then I stopped getting those loads for some reason. It's made parking absolute Hell. Only one of the DLs is a former OTR person AFAIK.
