    I'll start by saying I love the fact that we are not micro managed, we have nice equipment, and great benefits. After 24 years of service I really can't think of anything I hate, I truly enjoy working here and couldn't imagine working for any other freight line.

    I love the way my truck pulls the hills. Hate how I was totally lied to in orientation 7 months ago on how truckload drivers work and are treated. Hate how little miles i get every week (averaging 1800 miles a week).....i could go on and on about what I hate....before anyone says it yes i'm looking around for another job.....i do not recommend truckload to any OTR drivers.

    Let me add high tech on board computers making calls to dispatch a thing of the past, 8 paid holidays, 3 weeks vacation, ability to earn extra cash when needed, like extra weekend runs and city drop and hooks and dock work, a generous yearly uniform allowance, job security. The only thing I wish could be better is allowing the wash bays to be open 24/7, we were once known for the cleanest trucks in the fleet and now with the new trucks hitting the roads it sure would be nice to keep them looking new. How about a monthly reimbursement for professional cleaning like at a truck stop?

    After 15 years we should have 4 weeks vacation, the qualcomm is just a nuisance in addition to being a tattletail. If I can't make it in 5 days I guess I won't make it. Let the younger ones grab up all those additional miles.

    I keep the inside clean and to hell with the outside.
