    Broker bailed out on us. I check in even early for our appt, "load isn't ready, we'll call you when it is."

    They never called... This is in Compton, CA. Heading back to Colton, 7/11 truck stop.

    Load was supposed to be going to Wytheville, then us getting routed to Richmond yard by Friday. Nope, not happening, lol.
     
    Lonesome, chralb and Finfn1372 Thank this.

    I am always suspicious when the wording describes the poor trainee as being "used" and both trainer and company are making "profit" at the trainees expense.

    Where else can one walk into a CDL school and get a license for $5,000... Walk into a training company for free.... Ride with a trainer for a few months while getting paid... And land a $50,000 job???

    Let some have the mentality that the poor trainee is being used by some corporate monster... And the monsters sidekick the trainer... Ya, I really feel for those poor used and abused trainees... :)
