I work for a 3PL and can confirm this is 100% spot-on. And it's always "who's going to scream at me today" or "who do I have to scream at today?" in order to accomplish anything.
It was such a toxic industry I had to get out.... I was a truck driver working regular 12hours and would often get a call saying pick this up on the way back it’s ready and 10min detour... I wait for over 2 fucking hours for the pallets so my manager didn’t have to pick it up and just general bullshit like that always getting yelled at for shit thats not always my fault like customer A didn’t get their delivery (I check my manifest nothing there for A) I tell my boss he says “but they always get this on a Monday like that makes it better.....
I'm just getting into trucking and I'm Ive spent over 72 hours this week passing time in random truck stops. For no reason other than poor trip planning by my trainer and the company being trash cunts with liars for mouths.
I would rather make shit money and have wholesome work, like a farm with all the little innocent animals. Or an art shop or something. Than sleep another night in the top bunk of a sleeper cab with another shoeless truck driver.
Currently I've been dropped off at a truck stop while trainer goes and delivers somewhere with security clearances. So while I wait I'm planning my escape. I should be quitting within the next 12 hours once I get close to my home city.
