How is CNTL?

Well my foot is not planted in my mouth. Lol it was just mine then.

 

That was me, and it happened back in 2016.

 

its whatever, didn't mean to start ####, just a funny story is all. A buddies GF applied to Lightspeed for him, when he was looking for work. That whole situation was hilarious also.

 

I've applied to CNTL 6 times. They won't even call me back. Of course this was when I was still greener than grass

 

LOL 19500lbs? thats some BS. I've seen LOTS of their trucks that I know for fact are over 19500lbs.

I just reviewed their FB O/O page, and the strikes that went on over working conditions. I guess local jobs, are still slave shows like they were in 2016.

 

I am happy with my wage and working conditions.
I am upset when I routinely have to take evasive action to avoid a wreck, and when I say I notice the majority of people taking stupid risks which do in fact lead to lots of huge wrecks, are these new guys ... then I'm somehow racist. That's just me noticing a pattern and saying something. How's that wrong?

Why isn't their insurance out of reach? Why is it legitimate to segregate people by certain measures, but not others? For example: why is it widely accepted that young newly licenced males pay a large premium for insurance compared to their similar aged newly licenced female counterparts? Because the young males will do dumb things behind the wheel, the most common probably being "let's find out how fast dads car will go!". Yet when it comes to trucking, it would not be accepted if we said "you're from a place that doesn't have trucking or laws and regulations like we do, also, your culture of how they drive is vastly different than ours, you ARE more likely to make unwise decisions, which does put you at increased accident risk, therefore, you pay more". Can't have that now can we?
Why do these companies routinely get their authority revoked, then just open up another company, transfer assets, away we go again.? You watch; in Toronto and Surrey are the hot beds for this activity. If you watch you will see this exact practice happening. Usdot numbers just keep going higher. Trucks have the names taken off (can still see old ones) new name on the side. I suppose a new, clean authority is all you need to do to keep operating. Let's not address the root of the problem, the reasons why the authority is continually revoked. Perhaps the way forward is for individual drivers to be refused of insurance. The issue is cultural. The next one comes in repeats same process. So ya, it's a bit frustrating.
