Beware of WEL companies

I have 2 tickets walmart wouldn't dare touch me, no accidents but I know they're strict on any tickets. My old co driver got turned down 0 tickets, 0 accidents and only 3 previous employers I got 2 tickets no accidents and 5 prior companies

Im in Tampa area, not much hiring here, I got a huge list of carriers on another post I made in jobs section on who ive gone through trying to find work already

 

The orientations didnt even go on my record so no issue and 1 of the companies keeps trying to re report to DAC despite me not working for em hence why I marked 6 originally, finally got it taken care of they couldn't take no for an answer and got butthurt

 

Walmart hiring a yard dog for Tampa and definitely wouldn't be able to take that, pay is too low and I cant do anything local

 

They wont hire already tried

 

Food grade tanker was great money, left it because it got so wildly slow I couldn't afford to eat or make my car payment at the time so i had to leave, had been getting bad but the final 3 months of that were scraping $600 a week burn most of my clock doing 180 miles a day because I had to sit and wait while getting no detention pay I wasn't willing to accept that, then got to the point I was only getting 95 miles a day the final 3 weeks and not even able to go back to the terminal at night so I left im in the truck to make money not sit there on a dedicated account that isnt payingbecausethings are slow, food grade dried up hence why all of the companies dropped their pay or let drivers go like IRT, Bynum, Oakley, WDT and SS Sykos


Its also why I dont run the northeast, no miles all traffic, its not profitable unless youre an owner operator every week im in the northeast I make a sub $500 check and if im lucky I hit 1000 miles, the east coast cities are a total loss so no im always going to refuse it, its stress and its no pay, i wouldn't take a load up there ever again unless the company throws me $1+ a mile or I was running team

As for every time I was late was a scheduling issue from WEL half the loads they want you to drive a 100+ miles in an hour or less its not a matter of being my fault their management and planning is completely braindead, I was even given loads that weren't set to pickup for another week and they were suprised when I told them

Some loads even gave me 50 miles and I had to sit there 2 or 3 days while the freight was getting cross docked to my trailer

Like I said anyone woukd leave these companies getting that little pay I had to literally disconnect, drive 5 miles around the shipper lot otherwise they claimed "you didnt meet garuntee because you had no miles for these days"

So i constantly had to just go drive around on clock to meet my garuntee because they were so slow and had no freight, at the end I was getting below 1000 miles a week
