Just tell the truth

That old saying “the truth shall set you free” is such a true saying. When you call a trucking company up and just say “Im not going to be able to come to work”, you will get more respect than the driver that just doesn’t show up. Why its so hard to just do the right thing is amazing but 99% of all truckers that change their mind have a tendency to lie to the carrier rather than being forth coming. If you tell them the truth they will mark you down as a good potential hire in the future and will always leave the door open for you. But if you lie, many of them are now marking you down as “never hire”. Why burn bridges? Just speak up and let the chips fall will they may.
