That's the nature of truck driving....sadly....the question is "Is their turn-over rate lower than average? And how many of those trainees will make it to their own truck?" Just to give you a different perspective to look at. Those questions awnsers I have an idea of, but don't know well enuff to make a factual statment that I'd be comfortable with someone else using in their data for job considering.
-My OPIONION is that allot of those trainees won't make it past the end of the trainer truck or will "bow out" in orientation, or pee traceable amounts of blood or some other issue in the physical (knocked out a couple).
-And I would GUESS that their turn-over rate may be lower than the average. (how hard that is to do, I don't know).

My wife has said the same things guys.

One place I worked part time for is still in business. I guess I didn't stay long enough for the bad mojo's to rub off.

Stranger-

considering your batting average, do you short your company's stock?
or would you consider that to be insider trading?
(the non-public knowledge being that YOU work for the company?) LOL
