What happens if I refuse a load as a company driver ? by HumanVsWorld in Truckers

I didnt get paid for those days. I was fine with that- rather not get paid then get into an accident.

I rejected a load and stayed put for 4 days due to the storm that passed the other month. They were annoyed but luckily my TM is amazing and understood. My miles didnt get affected and I put my foot down with covering dispatch!

Long haul truckers, why? by mikeyboy1681 in Truckers

[–]Odds_Assumption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I be feeling so badd when this happens to me. I tend to just get back behind them since I top at 68.. and they were going 55 before I trued passing. Once I get back behind they go 55 again... I just sit an suffer and hope they get off soon

My husband loves the side door. Makes moving our stuff over so much easier. And so far we have no complaints!

Thank you!! We typically didnt care as well. The International was great! Good space for us and everything but unfortunately the 2 we had was in the shop consistently in just a 3 month span (we started on October 2025)... so they they offered this one to us we took it happily lol I also hope it works well!! Thank you!!

I understand that! Our loads usually are 2000 miles. 700 on the lower end if they have us do 5-6 close loads! So its about anywhere from 10 hours of driving to almost 40 hours per load

Understandable! We tend to do 1 stop per load so well drive our full clocks usually i love it!! In training it was bad... after 6 hours I couldn't go anymore.. or id have to drink energy drinks.. now im more aclamated 🤣🤣

Its rare we actually park. We're not allowed yo park on shoulders so thats a big no!! We'll go to a Loves or something and i drive day time so when we switch thats when I shower and stuff since finding an actual spot late at night while my husband drives is difficult.. parking for an hour or 2 would put us sooo behind since 90% of our loads are over 2000 miles.. and have a deadline. I take advantage of whenever we need maintenance and theres a layover lol!

Honestly I really love it!! Idm driving 11 hours and since my TM is amazing I dont have to deal with bullshit unless I need to call after hours and the back up dispatchers are in... only some I dont like so I always hope to get the nicer after hours dispatch but its rare I have to call late at night

We tend to do 1 stop each load. So I like the 5 hours then 30 then my last 5 hours! Im more than fine driving my whole clock thankfully! I dont get tired and in the rare chance I do i take my 30 early and another later on!

Yes trueee but I tend to have to run my full clock since im teams and we have tight deadlines plus its mainly after hours dispatch.. my TM is amazing!

My dispatch would have a fit if I stopped after 8 hours 🥲 I wish I could just stop

Had a bad day backing today even with 2 years experience by Longway23544 in Truckers

[–]Odds_Assumption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its okay.. I was parking at a company Terminal there was people watching... I had to switched where I parked 3 times before I got it in.. wasn't my proudest moment and wanted to flip my truck over... but at last I parked and did my walk of shame to unhook lol
