Ah, finally leaving the big blue screw....

Good luck man!! You did better than I did with them. 11 weeks, and I was gone!! Much better companies out there, and not just in pay.

 

I think the keyword there is "a Little Change" ...

I don't understand how a member who's been here a reasonable time would still be driving for .27 per mile anyway ...

Glad to hear your finally leaving for better things.

 

Coffee hadn't kicked in yet. So I missed that! Yes, that is a VERY good question. .27cpm?
groundhog day for sure.

 

Thanks for clarifying the sliding scale issue. That in it's self sucks too. I am older than you but I still can differentiate ugly chicks from hot ones in south central va. Most are quite fugly where we live. A LOT of "fixed trait issues" from possibly interbreeding back when? Don't really know we are originally from new england. Wish you luck in your new endeavors and a better situation. Keep us posted!

 

Phroziac, just caught up on all the posts here, I wasn't giving you a hard time earlier, I don't think you took it that way, I was just basically saying get out and move on to greener pastures, you've put up with a lot of BS over there but walk away with pride knowing you did your job to the best of your ability and leave Werner in the corner looking like a fool. It's sad for a company to expect people to get out there and work week in and week out for such measly pay, how do you or anyone else put up with it? There are better things out there you've just got to do your research, do a favor to yourself and avoid ending up with another cookie cutter company, I've bounced around between a lot of carriers in the past, but have almost 3 years where I'm at now, I put up with some crap but nothing near the garbage Werner put you or others on this site through. Good luck dude, I chime in here sometimes and maybe get misunderstood, you made it there a lot longer than most people do and that's a testament to the mental fortitude you have, if you can put up with their bs for as long as you did, you should be able to be profitable with a carrier that gives a #### about their drivers.

 

You are right, people come in here and complain alot about companies they work for Phroziac had a valid beef to decide to move on and best of luck to him!!!

 

phroziac, why don't you quit messing around with the mega carriers and look into some of the local michigan based outfits? I havent read this entire thread but I saw a post where you said you had pre-hires at TMC, Rhoel, Transport America, SNI, Western Express... I live in TN and still consider western a bottom feeder that I would never consider. I cant think of the names off hand but I know I see the trucks of smaller 100-200 or so carriers that are based out of michigan all the time when I run midwest. You've got 2 years experience, a $700 net paycheck should be a bad week, a really bad week as a company driver - when I was in a company truck I cant remember one that bad - why do you limit yourself to training companies and bottom feeders when there are so many other options? *edited* I will note that quality carries might be a step up from from these other slugs..
