    Can't like that, I remember my previous employer always said I can work you 14hrs. a day every day. And I would always say I don't want to work that hard.
    @woodtickgreg thought of you on this. Then you would get those pesky ass kissers I want to work as many hours as I can. I got bills and kids.o_Oo_O
    My answer to that would be I don't need to work that much or hard. I haven't put myself in that position. :cool:

    This is the problem with the trucking industry. They think they own you and can work you as much as they want. All work and no life. That's not respect! That's what I mean when I say there is no driver shortage, only a pay and respect shortage.

    No worries guys. Only working because I said ok. Best part is if they had listened to me they wouldn't be paying 2 drivers 14 hrs of ot and not have some pissed off customers. Company is always bitching about labor costs, lol!

    Morning John, just saying that they would say that because the rules state you can work 14 hours a day not you have to.
    Like you said you said ok, but they would say to us I can work you 14 hours if I wanted to.
    Mentality of some and most, well you have 2 hours of your 14 left hurry up and go get it.
    :rofl::rofl:

    Morning driver's be safe today.
