Start orientation 5/9

Sorry to hear all that. gl to ya

If your trainer had a brain he could have used a tool called communication. Something not working right, call road repair and fm tell them you need a load to get routed through a terminal to handle it. Can be done with minimal impact on work week if done properly.

But that might interfere with trainers "home time"

 

Colorato,
Are you getting training pay or are you getting a percentage of the truck? I thought that you got training pay for everyday you are away from the house. At least, you should be getting breakdown pay.

 

If they left you home for an entire week w/o pay, and w/o a decent excuse... well, I don't blame you. I would have quit too. No excuse for a week full of "the run-around".

This does not sound like the TMC I knew. I was treated pretty decently during my time w/them. I've even been thinking of asking to go back. I can't seem to find a local driving job that works for me...

Good luck to you.

 

Where in south jersey and which smith and soloman did you go to. I live down in salem and went to the new castle, de s&s. And you are right about the dump.

 

So what are your plans?

 

Terrific! Best of luck to you with your new company. Don't let the updates stop!

 

Thinking of working for these guys. Was wondering how high off the ground you are when you get on top of the crate container? I'm a little afraid of heights so would hate to get all the way there and fail for that reason. I used to work at a truck wash and had to get on top of pneumatic tankers to wash them out and could handle that

 

13'6", its not bad. A lot of places tmc goes to have fall protection now but some dont. Its just to make sure you dont totally freek out atop a load.
