Hard luck for sure, the dogs would've been it for me too. Sometimes trainers can be pretty insensitive and when you are just getting started you "may" have to put up with some things that you normally wouldn't. You really need to get with a company and stay for a year or 2 now that you already have had multiple jobs inside of a year.....good companies DO NOT like folks that have that sort of history. Have you thought of the food service industry or maybe a construction company...yeah the construction jobs may on the lower end as far as pay , but you need to show some STEADY employment before you throw your name in the hat for those higher end jobs. Stuff like this may sound kinda judgmental , but in the transportation industry you have a high wall to get over when you 1st start...Good Luck

I heard you,Urban.there is more bad trainer than good.they just want you for the mile and extra cash from the company.the trainer alwayused the driver like that,it happen to me back in 2004.i went to experience with central refergerated, i still rember the name,Ron smith ,he live in alburqueque,nm.he push me drive illegal and hedo the sleeping,when i 2 month with him,i told him,i just going drive 11 hrs,when we got conley,ga ,he kow that i couldn,t be used the wayhe did,so took new driver,the one thing i regret doing for him was saving he ###,when he got into accident in albertson store .iwas sleeping upper bunk and fell into stick gear,i was bruise up,he was begging,pleading not to tell the company,so i didn,t,but it should,t.ihad with the trainer experince .i went home and buy me rig n trailer n do it ,it,s a fact all trainer want $$$ mile,thats it........

The first job wasn't worth the money for the time he was putting in each day. So many people complain about drivers hauling cheap freight and that they will only haul for a certain amount so they can remain profitable. Well this guy did the same thing, he wasnt being compensated fairly for his time, the money wasn't enough to meet his means , so he moved on to find more suitable employment. I think he has done the right thing by standing up for himself and not letting screwballs walk all over him .Gearjammin' Penguin, Tonythetruckerdude, formertaxidriver and 3 others Thank this. -
Sounds like you are paying your dues. Don't let these fly by night #### jobs get you down. Do a good job and the right one will come along. Good luck.
TRKRSHONEY Thanks this.
