Could be but it seems like every driver, including myself, can always find something to complain about with who they drive for, whether sitting at the truck stop, drivers lounge or sitting behind the wheel, we all seem to take a perceived slight or a trivial problem and dwell on it until it turns into something major and before we know it, we have worked ourselves up so much that suddenly the company becomes the worst out there and we can't wait to get hired on somewhere else so we can tell the dispatcher what he can do with this job. I am as guilty of that as anybody else.

For the benefit of you new readers coming on (not for the regulars here) and choose only to read and not post (there are many who choose to not contribute feedback), I am going to make new threads and re-outline my experiences with "2 companies" who gave me bullshit that I did not bring on myself. People who have good experiences and bad should speak up. Flatbed (if you're reading), a week or so ago, you asked for the whole story. I'll alert you to it when I post it. You have access to threads.

"Do you realize what you've done?". I just love to be a pain in the tail when I know that I am to some, just as it goes the other way (hey - it's tit for tat).
LOL, my "medication", and the fact I am a "narcissistic forum troll" is my excuse - ROFL. See, I can play along and laugh.
ROFL - OH GOD YES!!!!!!!! Sorry. I should not have read what I read. "2 companies", "A lot of drivers that complain about a company brought it on themselves". I just love to stir up trouble when I can feel the know it alls.
Anyway, the new thread will be created. Partially because I was asked to present my facts. I know you folks who claim to be tired of my posts will be there, which makes no sense and goes contrary to what you claim. But no one needs any B.S. posts to discredit me and call me a liar, just as I don't call those who are made happy (through butt kissing/brown nosing or not) liars.
Think about it.

I don't believe for one second that you're creating a new whineing u want ppl to feel sorry for u thread because u was asked to give the facts.You could have created that when flatbedpete asked u to a couple weeks ago.You're creating this thread to stir up trouble.Your swift and werner thread done got old so you're starting a new thread.You make it sound like you're the ONLY newbie that compaies shit on you.There are many drivers out here that got shit on awhole lot worse then you.Sean how long ago did this happen?Why can't u give it a rest?

Why are you posting this in a TMC thread? You said you never worked for TMC. With just the two or three post I have read of yours I have already formed an opinion and it is not favorable to you.

Are u referring to Sean or me?If it's me that's fine then put me on ignore.I'm replying to seans replie.You're right this has nothing to do with TMC many threads on here get derailed if u just look and read you'll see that.You're right I never did drive for them but I ask ex drivers as well as tmc drivers,many say the same thing and I form my opinion from them.Again you don't like what I have to say simple put me on iggy.

HeHeHeHeHe, At least I know this was meant for me (even without the quote included). How could there be a question in anyone else's mind? Shows the lack of intelligence here, and disregard for reading details at times. Who else said they never worked for TMC besides me recently?!?! LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm going to leave a little room for some honest ignorance on your part this one time. You may not know what you've done; in that you have aroused the narcissistic forum troll who is over medicated (to quote a couple of supposid nice intelligent folks here on the forum).
LMAO - ROFL
Dude, I'll answer for your benefit:
For starters, I don't give a frog's fat behind whether your opinion is favorable to me or not. That's not going to determine whether or not I stay here or move on. My opinions on most here are not favorable. None of this is going to chase me off. It hasn't in the past. And that's because there are far more readers of these forums than those you see here every week (in some cases - every damn day).
Post #37 was on topic, and I never even mentioned the "2 companies" I had the crappy dealings with in my past. But a certain someone seemed to think I did not have the intelligence or attention to detail to spot the way yet another cheap shot was taken at me (now of course this will probably be denied in subsequent posts to further try to discredit me - but forget it - it's too prevalent in the past, which is what made it so obvious).
Does not matter if I worked for TMC or not. People formulate opinions on things and share the opinion. Had nothing to do with trying to get anyone to feel sorry for me as other idiots seem to want to continue to believe about me. I don't believe the utter ignorance of some people who don't know the difference between INFORMING and someone looking for sympathy, but clearly that ignorance exists here. They are just trying to burn me out (which simply aint gonna happen) because those who tell of the B.S. in the industry seem to be taboo here - like they think that only experienced drivers and regular forum contributors read these threads and respond to them. My other posts after #37 were in response to undertones I knew were directed at me. This goes back a while, and patriciajnsn has vowed to continue to trash everything I say here (she even put it in writing here on the forum - follows me to every thread I post to, and every thread I create). Moderators have told these same folks to stop the B.S., and the fact they don't like me is not a valid reason to trash me or what I say. And rather than look like a wimp who's giving in or giving up, I will keep on with my answering back. In the case of patriciajnsn: I believe she's even more a narcissist than I ever was, and quite possibly a company CEO here to defend companies and attempt to fixate in the minds of others of who the crybabies are (sarcasm). You'd do well to stay out of it, because another addition to the B.S. will not burn me out.
As for threads going off topic - too bad. Just as it has been too bad others have trashed my threads and taken them off topic, even as I attempted to keep things "politically correct". Get used to it. That's the way people operate here on Truckers Forum. It's nothing more than B.S. talk on the CB to chase off boredom. That's pretty much what has been said to me. Now I'm playing along with the game.
I hope this clears things up for you. Simply don't read what I post if you don't like it now that you know my name. I tried giving the same advice to certain others here a long time ago, but they must really like what I write if they keep on reading it.
Now go back to your TMC topic.

EXAMPLE: Flatbed made a clear example(s). He got the words from others as well. I believe what he writes here, and I believe in what he says about what he's been told.
Why you are just as unfavorable to me as I am to you. This is tantamount to calling Flatbed a liar. And this is why I said what I said in post #37. Different DMs will be a different experience to different people. It's the luck of the draw. Just because you had your experiences, don't try to discredit what others say regarding what they hear from others. It's just possible they are telling the truth.
What a concept.

Sean you over medicated troll you might as well just hang it up we're not listening to u and you're not hearing us either and the newbies certainly is not hearing u either from this forum anyway.They'd rather seek advice from the veterans and from the ones that don't get fired if u catch my drift.
Sean McQuaid
Whiny baby
LMAO - this person just has not clued in on the fact I won't go away.
Why don't YOU hang it up Patty?!
When are you going to clue in on the fact that your useless name calling also will not effect me or make me go away? Seems to me that I have won. You keep answering posts you claim you are not reading, or are bored with. And I sure seem to be "IN", because I do have an audience (it is generally true that one is "IN" even when picked with). As those who try to piss me off with the stupidity and useless platitudes they keep demonstrating.
You seem to have a mental telepathy that none other possess. You keep telling me that no one is hearing or paying attention to me, in spite of the fact there have been posts here to show otherwise, and I have recieved numerous PMs to also back the fact I do have people paying attention and listening. How do you do that? Incredible that you have this telepathic power. This is just more immature school yard games that 12 year olds play, as in "Nah Nah, nobody likes you, Nah Nah". Grow up.
Sorry, but I don't think most veteran drivers know squat about what it is to be a new driver coming in today. You give advice based on what you remember from a certain number of years ago, and what you as a veteran driver has to do to stay. First of all, I question you being a driver. I really think you're an industry sympathiser, backer and supporter - probably because you are in a capacity (other than driving) where you have to be. In the case of vets giving advice; I basically see the advice as a kiss butt and a cheery attitude (or at least the act of) is more important than a good driving record, strong healthy body, and intelligence and common sense where learning the regs and safety are concerned. I have read it time and time again here (and heard it when driving) that attitude is everything and you better get chummy with your DM. Yet drivers can be spoken to like crap and shown moody "get out of my face" type attitudes, and if the driver gives it back, it's goodbye - driver fired.
I say what I say above because you seem to be the same way. If you are indicitive of the personnel who run this industry, it's no wonder why I did not make it. I am not into the stupid head games and child games so many in this industry are used to. YOU told me months ago that I have to "deal with it or get out". Even deal with the unfair and unnecessary things is what it seemed to me you said, nobody should have to deal with stupidity and nonsense B.S.. And you told me other things I knew to not be true where logging is concerned. My attitude changed with you, and I am out - I am fired - ROFL.
You're really funny patty. You tell me that you don't read my posts. You tell me that I bore you and put you to sleep. Yet you post answers to my posts. If you did not read something, then how the hell can you answer with any idea of what you are answering to?
Seems you will never clue in to the fact that I will not back down from you (or anyone else) when I see something of a disparaging nature directed twards me - even suttle hints. My post (#37) did not warrent you mentioning the "2 companies" as though it would go un-noticed by me. If you had not said what you said, this would not be going on now. YOU are the one who started it. And YOU are the one who said you would do this on another thread on this forum. I will not look like the wimp or loser by backing down from you or anyone else here - period. Especially after your vow to keep after me from one thread to the other. This is the same as CB trash on the road. If that's what the forum is, I will play along. I have the discipline to not say anything to you or about you whatsoever when I am not seeing anything directed to me. How about you? Do you think you have the discipline?
We have clearly demonstrated (with amusement and boredom) to all here that we abhor/despise one another. I have shown that I can both keep silent, and that I won't back down like some beaten wimp when attacked in any way. I made no mention of the "2 companies" in post 37. If you had not connected the two, I would have had nothing to say to you. As for my announced new thread; you can think of it as you please. As long as I don't have to read about it. I am accommodating because in spite of my original threads on the matter, I was asked about it. And I prefer to do that here as ANYONE has access to the forum whether they can post or respond to threads or not. Once I edit DOWN (not UP), I am posting it. I know you'll be there in spite of what you say. Trash it, and we'll have a problem which I will send messages to moderators or admin about. We can keep on with the platitudes and disparagements forever, or we can ignore one another and refrain from posting attacks of any magnitudes to the other. How's that concept? Seem to make sense? Maybe threads will be more on topic this way.
I know you will respond to all this with "why can't you answer in one sentance?" (I made this as long as I did on purpose because of your repitition with that one - ROFL. Sorry to the poor moderators who have to read it); "I did not read you post"; "your posts are putting me to sleep"; "your posts are long and boring"; ....... Blah Blah Blah - Yadda Yadda Yadda. Knock yourself out. Who cares? You (and some others) are just crying because I am better with words than most, and I refuse to employ brevity.
Time to take my medication, work on my narcissism, and change into a different troll costume - LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I needed a good laugh.Sean u did not win anything,LMAOOOOOOOOOO.i I never read your posts completely,I skim thru them.You still have your CDL don't you?Why don't you go drive for TMC.Who knows flatbed work might actually turn you into A MAN.

Patty, why the hell do you ask why I don't go to work for TMC when you should know damn well that just about everyone requires 6 months to 2 years of RECENT experience (exept maybe Star, USA and PAM). You know damn well I don't have that as you have followed me around on this forum since I joined. You just want to keep on with your childish games and have something immature and stupid to say - like some child in grammer school in the school yard who likes to pick a fight with the other kids. You keep displaying your stupidity. I knew you'd say just what you said. And yes I did win. Why the hell don't YOU stop trying to be a MAN in a man's world? Be for real, will you! Keep playing your games, you won't make me go away, nor will you burn me out. Others have seen this, why don't you clue in on that fact?
Also as you are doing as you said you were going to do a couple of months ago, I am going to start making complaints to the moderators and admin. YOU are the one instigating this bullshit now - not me.
Just about everyone else has shown some degree of maturity by knowing when to quit - even if they are just patronizing, that goes a long way. Why don't you grow the hell up?!

ok now, my current job is still that of a driving instructor, but fir the past couple of weeks, and a few more weeks, i am on the "disabled list".
my time in this industry is 20+ years driving and teaching. i take my job(s) very seriously. in fact, any job i do i do it to the best of MY ability.
i have only briefly read a post or two of yours, so i would like to know, are you a driver now? you "sound like" you're not with many years of driving experience, under 2 years(?), under 6 months? for me to "continue" with any conversations with you, i'd like to know a bit more about you and why (or if) you are not driving anymore. from what i have read, and again, it was only a very small excerpt, as your posts from your profile go back 12 pages, you sound very bitter about driving and the industry. is this because you think you got screwed over? i'd really like to know more, so i can "see" where you are coming from.
thanks in advance.

Seems to me here you're the one that needs to grow up.I asked a simple question and u got all bent out of shape.I did'nt know TMC needs 6 months with exp.But with your outgoing personality,I can't imagine why those 2 companies fired u.You might as well hang it up because you'll never find a job in the trucking field,not even DOT would hire u.There requirement along with the trucking companies is RESPECT.That's something you'll need to get trained on.
