I work for Delta as a male flight attendant. I get snickers from people I don't know sometimes when I tell them what I do. Really? Who cares about gender?! I am good at what I do. I get free travel and you don't. I meet awesome people and you don't. I get to move around and have amazing co-workers. So the jokes on them!

My truck broke down last week and the supervisor shows up and tells me it’s MY fault because I did not do a good enough pre-trip. What happened was my other idiot supervisor strapped down a tire onto the catwalk and the strap broke, wrapped around my driveline and then tore up all my airlines. I told her it wasn’t me that did that. She then FLIPS out on me gets in my face and says that she doesn't need my attitude WHAT?!!!. The whole time I tried to get her to calm down but she wouldn’t. Guess I made her look bad. I told my boss about it and basically he said that I might be fired because I screamed at her and refused to listen. I did NOT scream. What the hell am I going to do now? Can he actually fire me over something that was not my fault??! Help!!!!

I've worked for Amazon doin deliveries for awhile but been thinking of driving for Uber to make some extra cash. I heard good things and that you can make bank. I could really use it for my daughter. Anyone here drive for Uber?

Driving for Pepsi has been a great entry level start to a career as a Class CDL Driver. I have enjoyed the experience and what this company has taught me. This is a growing company with a lot of opportunities.

I’m 53 and have 20+ years of medical field experience and certifications, one of which was completed last year. I haven’t worked in years so I went back to school at 52 yrs old!! But I wanted this certification so that I can return to work. That’s what I expected to happen but it’s not happening. I’ve completed so many on line applications, downloaded job sites that inform me of jobs but 90% of those jobs are in another state which would require me to drive over an hour each way! Ok, if I have to to get hired sure but the pay is so low that I’d spend over 1/2 my check just in gas! Any ideas or suggestions? I’m all ears.

Signed, Ready and Trying Hard

Day I hired a vehicle for delivery at Haliburton and the materials were rejected as a matter of bein out of specification. Then I hard to take the materials out of the company premises bit by bit without enough money to heir a vehicle back to office

So my new dispatcher is a real pain in my ass. Last week I get my load assignment but the delivery time was nearly impossible to make. I would literally need perfect weather and road conditions to be able to make the deadline not to mention drive non-stop without at least one fuel stop and a bathroom break. It just wasn't possible and I ended up looking like the jerk who couldn’t handle things. This isn’t the first time this has happened. What do I tell this dispatcher? I am sick of this!!!

Saw this post on Facebook or somewhere and saved it because it's SO true and sharing it with this group.

1- Cover your ass. Take pictures, get it in writing, scale everything, get a dashcam and run it all the time.

2- NEVER trust a dispatcher.

3- Never enter any place you don't know how to get out of. Throw the brake, set the 4 ways and walk yourself in. always make sure you can get out.

4-. Don't screw over the next guy. Leave the truck clean, get out of the fuel island, fix the incorrect directions/address, don't leave trash, etc.

5- Get out and look/don't hit anything.

6- We are all truckers and in this together. Help a brother/sister out. Let them merge, explain how to get places, help them back, etc.

7- Thou Shalt Not Lease.

8- Never do favors for dispatch. (also never do anything for free. need that empty moved, no problem, how much you paying?)

9- Trip plan everything. Even short little runs. How are you getting in, where are you going, when will you be done? When do you need to leave by, where's your parking? What's your secondary parking?

10- Protect your license like it's gold. If you don't think it's safe to drive, don't. Ain't nobody going to die cuz your semi truck load of Huggies is 5 hours late.

Anyone else agree with any of these? My favorite is the second one for sure.

Meet Nailah and Martin!

Two different people who truly love what they do, which is driving a truck.

Sometimes in life, you need to think outside of the box.

When a friend suggested that Nailah attend truck driving school she stood in front of her in high heels and a dress and thought NO way was this for her. Today she happily says, “I am in a place where I don’t have to want for anything. I am happy. I don’t have bill collectors calling me from random numbers anymore. To be in this industry was one of the greatest decisions I ever made.”

For Martin, he loves that trucking provides the ability to advance and provide a future and reveals that “The trucking industry has opened a future for me. In most corporate environments you are limited. In the trucking industry, there is no cap on how far you can go.”

Come and watch the rest of their stories in this [wonderful short video] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AM9_Q_V_aE&amp=&feature=youtu.be) proudly made by Jobcase from the voice of real truckers.

So, would you consider a career in trucking?

If you are presently a trucker, thank YOU for all that you do! : )

A lot of places are trying out self driving trucks saying it will make trucking freight safer and cheaper. Anybody who has driven a truck knows that it’s NOT that easy. What happens if a steer tire blows out?! Or if the weather is crap? Computers can’t fix everything. I honestly never liked the idea of self-driving anything. I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone. Anyone else?
