swift or trans am

I just left Chrysler's after 15yrs, if that tells you how I feel about the way things are going in Mich. Good-luck on what ever way you go

 

Holy cow they won't hire cause you live a whopping 6 miles out of their hiring area? That's a stretch on their part. 6 miles is not that big of a difference. That's awful nit picky on Trans Am's part

 

not sure where yale is but may wanna check out whiteline express out of plymouth mi. alot of freight from our plymouth, romulus, and westland wharehouses.

 

Yeah, if you drive OTR, you will get home once a month (maybe) and when you DO get home, you MIGHT get 2 solid days off. I run regional (GLR) right now, and was told by my DM that i'd be home every weekend. Now knowing my paycheck is based upon miles i drive, i would rather be home every other weekend. Not to mention once in a while i get to pass thru my hometown, and get to have lunch/dinner with the family...so i'm happy with that.

I'd say whatever you do, dont turn down a single load, dont get a single service failure, dont screw up in anyway, and in 2-3 months, you should be a standout on your DMs board.

 

Sounds like Transam to me. They have been getting pretty picky lately on all sorts of stuff. We have to get PO #'s now for dern near everything including scale tickets. Also have to fax in copies of the BOL if it doesn't match what they "think" it ought to be.

Trying to decide whether to offer you condolences or congratulations on missing out on TA.

 

Wow it's changed quite a bit since I left in late 2003. Hell back then company trucks could go 70mph and we didn't go west of Interstate 25. I knew things were changing for the bad though when they cancelled out all their charge accounts with lumper services and then told us to us our truck expense money which was fine when it was 300 a week. Not even two weeks later they knocked it down to 150.

 

Johnny is no longer running the company and has turned the reins over to the bean counter Russ. From the former drivers I've talked to, this used to be a "drivers" type of company. No more. Johnny is aware of the problems but doesn't really care enough to take control back. Enjoys being retired to much. Also is double dipping now that he or rahter I should say his wife, is in partnership with the local KW dealership. He makes moeny now either way.
