Looks like I'll be going to orientation on the 9th in Fontana, Ca. They are looking for Hazmat teams out of that terminal.

Anyone know anything about that fleet? I'm fresh out of school and am excited / nervous about starting.

 

hello guys, I drove for swift for 10 months, you know what, everytime I remember those 6 weeks training I get pissed off. my trainer was from russia. the sad thing was when i ask him a question he asnwer me with another question (I wish you understand what I MEANT). believe or not it took me almost 2 weeks just to figureout the log book plus he had me sitting in sleeper berth when i'm off duty because his computer was installed on passenger seat. for the rest of the trainers just keep talking. can you believe it?! and when those #### 6 weeks finished I felt like i was reborn. thanks to God

 

sounds like you have a good attitude, not spoiled and are there to work. I'm thinking about getting a class a .. Right now I drive a school bus and the cmoney just isn't there. I think that going to school through the employer is the best way. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

I start orientation tomorrow...it's comforting to know that DM's will be sympathetic and responsive if the trainer I get is a jerk. As a 20 year veteran from hospitality I'm fairly easy going, but then again, I've met a lot of delivery drivers that I wouldn't voluntarily socialize with...

 

This Hazmat fleet is starting in several terminals. Memphis and Decatur, GA are a couple of others. I don't even think it's started yet, though. Three weeks ago, when I first heard of it, they were still putting it together.

 

You're getting ready to meet a whole lot more.

 

7.50 a week is roughly 30 bucks a month with some odd days thrown in there for 'free'

 

Don't go owner op? Nightmare? Well, I will suggest that those O/O's take a good long, hard look at their choices that put them in a nightmare situation, yes, I know, sometimes 'stuff happens' to good people, but there are plenty o/o's that do just fine because they are smart, educated, and are not afraid to actually work.

Some people get all soft in the middle with company trucks, not having to take into account expences, not having to do the brain work, just drive and get paid.

With work, thought, and some brains, O/O's can be rather successful.

 

I think he meant lease driver not true owner operator.
