[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 57282"] But on the other hand, I have yet to see any driver that has honestly tried, not make it. Not in over 30 years. Management will tell you you are on the "bubble" just to keep you torn up and running your butt off. Go into each day thinking you are da man, and you can do this just as well as any other driver. Focus on the day ahead of you instead of the pays past, you can not change them. And too much BS floating in your overstressed brain keeps you from the focus of the new day, which is to learn your job better and do it more economically for the company. MAny times while management feels they are helping, they put unecessary stress on the driver that is non productive. Focus. That being said, ask to be allowed 15 minutes or so on your truck before leaving. For a newby, that can help. More than that and you leave too stressed and tired. It is very difficult to argue with management after you have your 30 days in, and your sporh drops. They can pull up all the time cards showing you took your full hour and ten each day and didnt get beat. So why now, after you have made it, why are you getting beat by an hour or more each day. That is also a good reason for you to keep detailed records during the first 30 days. It helps me should I need to help you out in the office. I have seen drivers not make it for stupid things like mouthing off to customers, stealing time or packages, allowing the package car to come into contact with something it shouldnt etc. d [/QUOTE]
