I'm not a newbie. I know better than to believe everything the recruiters say. They tell the company version of the truth, which is why I talk with drivers too. I know they're paid to bring people in, which is why it makes no sense to lie to me and say I was removed because she couldn't get a hold of me. If she had called and said there aren't enough people because of the holiday so I'll have to move your orientation, that would make sense and be easier to digest, but no, it was "I tried calling you multiple times over the past few days" which is a flat out lie. It really doesn't matter if I still want to drive for TA or not. She finally sent me an email yesterday that basically said that due to the delays in getting me to orientation, there are no more open positions in my area and I'll have to reapply in August if I'm still interested. Whatever. I've moved on.

It's not really worth the wait, I've been here for 10 months and there is way too much bs involved with this company.
I know someone will say if I don't like it why am I still here, #1 it costs too much money to switch jobs, #2 I almost have a year in and that will look better on my work history than if I quit b4 then, #3 I'm just trying harder not to quit and see if it will turn the corner, maybe so maybe not, but I am waiting it out to see for a change -
I noticed on their website I didn't see a manual shift in their tractor in the Vid. Do they have 10 speed eaton road ranger manual transmissions? Don't want to drive a automatic. Give them to the girls. lol, I know ill catch carp for that.

I would not ever drive for this company again..First of all, they dispatch you on illegal locations without thinking about your license, and when DOT asks you why you are there and the only response is that you can give them..Automatic LVL 1 comes out...And yes its happened..then the company(Transport America) wants you to pay for their fault for putting you there by sending you to a power hungry safety guy that wants to someday be terminal manager. and threatens your job if you don't sign a waiver saying it was your fault to be in that location..The Eagen office act like they are better than you are..all because they sit behind computers..They make you double log the first 2 weeks when you start driving for them..which is highly illegal. To be honest I just hope this company just goes completely under..they do everything cowboy style..I just would not recommend this company to any driver..

im sorry for ranting badly about this company..but if you want to keep your CDL's I would not recommend going there...They are getting freight from US Xpress, so if that don't say anything to you..I don't know what will...

Gearjammin' Penguin Thanks this.

LOL, Thanks for your input, even though I have no clue on what you just opined about! What is a illegal location? mexico? Course why would DOT be there, whats a automatic lvl 1? Why would the safety guy be at the illegal location? Selling lvl 1, no doubt. Maybe terminal managers get better lvl 1, well sitting behind a computer does make one better, im doing it now. So they make you double log, on a qual com? LMAO, seems like you have some more issues then driving for them!
