Three options

Hello i have one month otr experience and about 4 months with pepsi doing local delivery. Im in south Alabama dothan area to be exact. I have some experience in a manual but most experience in an auto. I have three options so far. Swift out of the decatur terminal, werner out of the lithia springs terminal and pam transport out of the Albany Georgia area. Can someone help me

 

Take a large paper. Make three sections under each of the three companies. Write down the pay scale under each, write down the benefits if any under each, write down where you will be going and what work you will be doing under each and so on.

Eventually you will arrive at one of the three that offers the best for you.

All three stink for a variety of reasons. But those are the three you presented so I have to be nice and try to help you reach a decision with rational thought. Obviously the one who pays the most for the least amount of BS will be who you want to run for.

 

I understand all three arent that great, unfortunately between my lack of experience in a tractor trailer recently and my straight truck experience isnt recognized

 

What happened at Pepsi? Just hate it?

 

Unsafe driving conditions and they wanted me to drive illegally

 

Coke is better!

 

Let's not go there. Talking about that undrinkable Coca Cola.

 

Ok. You are aware as of about 2012 there is published Anti Laws that protects you, the driver from a Boss making threats or drastic acts and forcing you into a apparent no win situation should you determine that it is not safe, legal or too dangerous to proceed at the moment with a load. Not necessarily all three.

I hope someone can present these laws in a form easily understandable.

I will need some time to nail down the actual evidence as I have done before.

If you discover you are with a good company you will do whatever humanely possible to run with them But not at the risk of your CDL, Your Life, Your family and so on. With a good company the money will simply take care of itseof

 

They wanted me to drive with medication that made me unsafe to drive and when i had issues with my glasses they wanted me to drive when i couldn't see and wouldn't give me the chance to get them fixed so i left the company
