Nathan (SD) said: (quoted from post at 01:33:13 01/12/13) My wife used to work for a dispatch outfit. From what I gathered, most guys that drive truck got into the buisness cuz they got fired from every other job they had. In the truck you are alone with nobody watching over you. The most lamest excuses still get you by, cuz the boss can't prove otherwise.
My neighbor drives truck too. He switches companies about every 2 years. That is about the average amount of time he can slide before the boss gets sick of him. He always quits before he gets fired. He finds another job right away cuz everyone needs drivers.
To tell you the truth Nathan, I think you're probably a bit biased there.
37 years of driving and I was never fired once. I've had a few companies turn belly up causing me to seek a new situation, but mostly if I left a company it was due to a low life, lying, weasel of a dispatcher. I'm certainly not referring to your wife, but most every time we had a woman dispatcher, it was going to go horribly wrong. Sooner or later they were fooling around with a driver, then they'd get dumped and start crapping on every driver they could for revenge.
In general, I've found dispatchers to be just a notch below used car salesmen and politicians, and just barely a notch above drug dealers.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
