Heres a good question

If something comes up just stay calm and be professional, let this guy hang himself with his own drama.

 

With thousands of companies is it necessary to pick the same one?

If you start at different times I would say it would be at least 3 months before you all even have the chance to cross paths. About the only time is at a terminal and who's gonna do something in front of the boss?

Not being negative but with more quitting than staying I'd say there's a good chance one of you might not make it 6 months.

Move to another location or keep your curtains closed and he won't see you!

I would wait until after training and maybe let your dispatcher know of the issue. He can see on the computer where you all are at.

 

Pretty much what was said above. Keep your bearing, don't let him get the better of you. You both will have enough rope too hang yourselves with.... if decides to do that, let him... you don't need to follow suit.

 

You need US to tell you what to do?

1) Go drive for a different company.

2) Walk away when you encounter him.

3) Say "yes, you're right" to anything he says ( how can he argue that?)!

These seem like "nobrainers!"

Why do you need us to advise you?

If there's no way for him to know where YOU are, how did you find out what HE is doing? Something's not right here.

 

I'd stay cool and let management know BEFORE anything happened.

 

If your OTR you prolly won't see each other.

 

I dunno... I can recall encountering other OTR drivers repeatedly, and I'd imagine even more so if they're running for a company which often has drivers come to terminals - especially for two people running out of the same region.

 

This may sound cliche, but it takes TWO to tango. There is no drama yet, but you're expecting drama. You are preparing to react. What do you do? Absolutely nothing new. Don't go to the boss and warn him of impending trouble. That throws up flags.

Be that nice, easygoing, "give the shirt off your back" driver to everyone you meet in the company. That way, if he does come looking for trouble, you will have others, including the boss, going to bat for you. But if you go out there and warn the boss about this guy, and he turns out to be a good hand, the boss and everyone will look at you and think, "hmmm, he seems like a decent hand. Wonder why ol Mondo tried to poison everyone against him?" And then your character is suspect.
