Dedicated run? Or bait and switch?

Thats a hard question to answer I do know that alot of big companies do use the ole bait and switch.

Guess the only way to find out is to either talk to a driver or just be a pain in the arse to the company and try to get all you can out of them

 

ask if they will put it in writing!

 

If its Schneider RUN AWAY.

That is the exact same bs SNI pulled on my husband, they told him he would be making around 800-900 a week on a dedicated account that got him home every other night at least.

All through orientation he called the recruiter to make sure thats what was going to happen, then come graduation date, he is told the last opening is gone but he is first on the list. 9 months later he still wasnt on the dedicated account AND 2500 miles? HAHAHAHA

Yeah. Right. He grossed 400 week if you took all his paychecks and averaged them about 5 total weeks out of 9 months did he get near 2500 miles. One particularly good week he got 3k. But most weeks were below the 2k mark.

 

Just a thought, but how about taking a 20 mile drive and speak with the shipper.
Find out if the company indeed has dedicated hauls from there.
They would be familiar with the regular drivers and possibly know if one has left.
Worth a try anyway.

 

Now that would be sweet. I'd change jobs for that if they had decent benefits.
Too bad it wasn't for real. I know you are POd

 

We paid about 400 a month for insurance, they covered 100% of the first 1500 spent on health expenses, we paid 1500, then the insurance kicked in 80% after 3k deductibles.

 

If it is JB I have heard this happen a lot. By the time you get in orientaion the job is gone then you go OTR.

 

Whoa. You'd think a company that size could do better than that, but to be fair, I've seen a lot worse.

 

I've got a pretty similar situation with You Is A Truck. I quit about 2-3 months ago because of a medical problem, and after they threatend me with DAC damage, fines & fees and blacklisting, they offered me a regional job if I'd "Please please please don't park their truck in Times Square"

So I'm considering going back and they're telling me there's a regional market they need filled. (Nobody likes working in NYC you see) But still, I get a wee-bit suspicious.

Curious if this is the "big name company" to which you refer, Driver.
