Is it reasonable to ask for 6 weeks off?

I did check out McLanes website. When I search for jobs in Chicago they don’t have anything available.

my plan if I do the dollar general is to do for about 9 months, thru summer since I have a reefer. Then transfer over to a tanker division in Schneider. Get all my endorsements and do the tanker for a year or two.

when you say SNi, you mean Schneider?

 

TMC asked me for my previous 3 years of tax documents and I was not really happy about that. I don’t want to give that to them.

 

Thanks man!

 

Looks like they’re reading this thread. Just got an email that he bill was paid.

 

As far as getting a lawyer, I am no where near the statute of limitations, so if I need one I still can.

also there was no reason for me to try to get the guy fired. That’s ridiculous. Should he be a trainer, no. But that’s on the company. You should see some of these idiots they let be trainers.

I’m highly confident that the reason western express will go out of business is when they have a lawsuit resulting from an unqualified trainer. No doubt deaths will be the result of their wreckless practice they use to appease shareholders.

but is it up to me to attack one idiot who hurt me on accident? No that’s ludicrous and the thought you would even suggest it is asinine.

had I been more seriously hurt or were it done intentionally maybe. But the guy is just bad at his job, and not qualified for his position. That’s on the company.

One day they will pay dearly, in a court room.
I won’t be there.

just because you give advice, doesn’t make it good advice

 

Gemini sounds sweet. I’d do that.

I’ll give Mclane a call and see what they say.

yeah I was bummed about TMC but oh well

the reason why not tankers now is money. The only way I can find to make above minimum wage is to do the DG account. I’m sure there other options but the actual value per hour on the DG account is 22-25 which is a few dollars per hour better than anything I can find. Of course that’s based on their numbers and it’s still mileage pay and then unloading and empty trailer bonus and all the rest of it.

I look at the Schneider jobs everyday. And not just in Chicago, the whole country. I never see the DG reefer jobs available. The DG dry all day any city. But the reefer are rare. I’m expecting it to be just slightly easier than the DG dry, but in the summer I’ll appreciate that cold trailer.

after next summer is over I’ll go tanker if all is well. Then after a year there I’ll have flatbed, reefer, and tanker exp. With 2 years clean. Plus alol the endorsements.

And the economy should just about be booming at that point.

I would of course keep looking in the meantime.

I always knew when I started at western I’d be leaving. I didn’t think it would be this soon. Potentially I could be at Schneider for years. And I’m glad I did a different company first, to at least see what it was like.
