Folks, I'm not making a mountain out of what is already a mountain, to down play this as a mole hill, go tell that to all those drivers whom were BLACK BALLED for simply wanting to quit. Usually when someone quits a job the simple thing to do is go get another job, People they are having a very hard time getting another job and lost ability to earn a living.

Once again new drivers don't take my word for it check out the link I've provided, and read the page, they say, they are the only company in the nation who can fix a drivers problem if you're placed on this dac report and for some reason if they can't help you, your out of luck. TAKE TIME AND RESEARCH!!!
New drivers, the term: getting Black Balled is a term used when someone gets mad at you because you won't compromise yourself then they tell other companies not to hire you, a dac report is the list of people that has been black balled so protect yourselves.
To agree and say, "the industry has problems", but then join in is simply wrong! Companies usually are competitive and pride themselves for the number of happy employees and customers, so there must be a problem when a large number of PEOPLE report you to this site. This site is "The Truckers Report", a tool which allows the general public to view a companies practices. When you have a 80 to 90 percent turn over of drivers every year. NOT GOOD
SOCIALOGY 101:
THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY
We sometimes take life for granted, I know I do, but at time we should really think about what we're getting into. Not getting to technical I'm going to provide some info just from the internet that is readily at hand. The trucking industry has been Institutionalized.
What does this mean, according to Wikipedia:
The term institutionalisation is therefore sometimes used as a term to describe both the treatment of, and damage caused to, vulnerable human beings by the oppressive or corrupt application of inflexible systems of social, medical, or legal controls by publicly owned, private or not-for-profit organisations or to describe the process of becoming accustomed to life in an institution so that it is difficult to resume normal life after leaving.
per "Wikipedia"
Does this sound familiar? let me continue: per "wikipedia".
In a corporate context, individuals who work within large established organisations can become socialised into organisational values and norms, and values and norms may become institutionalised. It has been suggested by some writers that such supportive structure and routines may in some cases lead to a narrowing or reduction in individual critical judgement and reasoning.
These are not my words: "SUCH SUPPORTIVE STRUCTURE AND ROUTINES MAY IN SOME CASES LEAD TO A NARROWING OR REDUCTION IN INDIVIDUAL CRITICAL JUDGEMENT AND REASONING".
per "Wikipedia"
New drivers and you season drivers, this is alot of information, take your time and do your homework. Getting your CDL is awesome so protect yourself, BECAUSE
Treating people like they are ciminals, preventing them from getting employment because your mad, BLACKBALLING THEM just isn't right. Change these practices and maybe just maybe they'll want to stay.
Good luck and congratulation on getting your CDL
I would not recommend any new drivers seeking employment at Transport America
