Not always, I have pulled some sh** gigs before as well. I drove my truck and camper from southeast CO to Albuquerque NM one time for a gig that was supposed to supply a company truck and some other benifits, and when I got there things changed up on me. They wanted me to drive my truck 12 miles in to the shop to pick up a company truck, then drive to the job site. The job site was three mile from where I set up my camper. Several other things changed, and when I called them on it, they said, "You must have misunderstood us." So I repied, "If I am haveing that hard of a time understanding what is said and what it is to mean, then we should part ways right now." DONE, But I did get paid for the trip down and back as well as for two days work, so I did not lose my ass, just wasted alot of time and put alot of miles on. :-)
