Yeah, you bet the recruiter is hiding somethin'.

The move you just made will probably save you some grief in the months ahead. You're still out of a trucking job, but in the long run you'll be better off. Keep on looking and don't compromise. Your gut knows a hell of a lot. I always listened to mine and it never let me down.

 

Ok well, I leave tomorrow for salt lake city to start school with crs. Really looking forward to it and will keep you guys updated on how it goes! Thanks for all the advice up to this point.

 

good luck rdsknsfan...


My recruiter is just waiting on my Cali MVR and then I am hopefully going to either SLC or Riverside to start training...

 

Hey thanks for the reply, Yes I will be using welders cable in the o gauge wire which is about the thickness of your finger or thumb...it is quite large wire... I will most likely have it installed by someone who can hook it up properly in either series or parallel(sp)...thanks again

 

Good luck! As you progress I'd be interested in hearing about any miscellaneous money deducted out of your check each week. I heard they have some BS deductions that you don'thear about until you start seeing your check. Locks, $40 ($280 total) a week for some kind of deposit?, etc.

Keep us posted.

 

$100.00 for a lock kit (king pin and padlock). $40.00 for 2 NEW loadlocks-- there might be used ones there but they are usually beat to crap. The $280 is a reserve account that is returned at the end of employment. All taken out of your check at $10.00 per item per week.

 

Excuse me for being naive, but they want DRIVER to pay for locks to secure THEIR load? Is this normal practice for all companies?

And the $280...reserve account? What exactly is a reserve account? Sounds more like they might be trying to get an insurance deductible if a driver has an accident and hiding it as some miscellaneous bs.
