    There's tons of guys who do the same thing on here. They're all jazzed up about hiring on with a company, post that they will "keep us informed", head for orientation, maybe post the first or second day's activities, then poof, they're gone, never to be heard from again ! I think they wash out on day 3 and head home with their tail between their legs and are too embarrassed to come back on here. For those that this happens to, you are welcome to post your adventures.

    I do believe that more and more companies are warning drivers off posting to sites like this one, I had one try to do it with me a while back, ended up not working there anyway because of my own feelings about them and their practices but in orientation comments were made about the owner's feelings about putting company laundry, good or bad, out for the world to see... Oh well...
    For anyone interested Nat'l has ad for driver/lp's in Ocala craig's list!!!

    For the most part I agree. Its unfair for a company with a bitter employee to get slammed.

    The new hires at national are staying so busy,

    they probably don't have time to log on here.

    Those drivers cover some serious miles...........

    That was the story I got too. I know they are testing some new QC elog too. I think they are going legit, or at least trying to. Their equipment is nice though, Cascadia's and T700's. All the old junk is disappearing.

    Don't you think that they will get slammed somewhere else then??? CB, truckstops.... Having a place to come and tell our side also might encourage the habitual offenders to maybe think about their practices... one would hope anyway....
    One complaint... driver, two complaints... maybe something brewing, 200 complaints??? probably something there to look at!!!:biggrin_2559:

    I Hope Dbl 0 7 went home when he seen they were going to pay him .32cpm with 13years of experience. Just say no to sliding pay scales. I was talking to an Owner Operator in Hunts Point for them and he said he already had elog in his truck. So I'm sure everybody has it by now.
