Every time dispatch sends me out of state, I sit 4,5,6 days until I get another load. I drive a company sprinter hauling auto freight. I get so damn angry. Recently sat in El Paso over a week. Just said eff it and did the 1,400 mile deadhead home . Is this normal????!! Starting doing this about 7 months ago .
Sitting for days

If this has been going on for 7 months..... you need a new company. What are you driving?
How’d you like having a $200,000 plus straight and seeing them pull loads that you’d like to have ?
Realistically, you just have to adjust the best you can.
Earn your way into one of the better carriers, deal with the competition, or move on.
I don’t see any better options.

Nope, not normal.
Seeing that it’s the company truck, that’s who I’d take my grievances to. If they’re ok with you sitting that long, they’re beneath your effort, find a new company.
Every time you go out of state? Thats really terrible I feel for you. This is an expediting company??
Go home, take your stuff out of the van, then tell them you want to bring the truck back. I'm sure they hold your pay a few weeks, get ready for them to screw you out of that. Not much you can do.
Just take it as an expensive lesson learned, you are much better off working at McDonald's than that b.s.
